Wharfedale Diamond 12.1i Bookshelf Speaker Pair

The Wharfedale Diamond 12.1i is a popular bookshelf and standmount speaker from the updated Diamond 12i series, continuing Wharfedale's long tradition of offering exceptional sound quality at a highly competitive price point. The Diamond series has been the first step into true hi-fi listening for many since 1982 – and the 12.1i takes this tradition even further.

The Diamond 12.1i utilizes Wharfedale's developed Klarity™ polypropylene cone, whose stiffened structure reduces unwanted resonances and improves bass control and mid-range naturalness. The sound is balanced, open, and effortlessly pleasing during even long listening sessions.

Treble reproduction is handled by a 25 mm textile dome tweeter, which provides a soft yet detailed top end without exaggerated harshness. The speaker cabinet is designed with Wharfedale's Slot-Loaded Distributed Port bass reflex solution, which improves bass extension and reduces air turbulence noise, as well as facilitating placement in the room.

The Diamond 12.1i is ideal for stereo listening, in a home office or living room, or as part of a high-quality home theater system. The speaker also performs well with amplifiers of moderate power.

The Diamond 12i series has been updated with three new, modern finishes:

• Deep Black – semi-matte black, stylish and understated
• Stone Grey – a modern shade of grey that suits contemporary interiors
• Classic Walnut – warm walnut finish with a black front baffle, timeless and valuable
