Wharfedale Diamond 10.0 Bookshelf Loudspeaker

Smallest Model in British Company's Acclaimed Diamond Speaker Series Sparkles 

Hear Smooth Tonal Balances, Pristine Resolution, and Nearfield Punch for an Unthinkably Low-Cost Sum

You've heard all the hyperboles: A product is touted better than those costing two or three times as much. It possesses technological details nobody but the designers can really understand. All this from manufacturers that have been in business a few years. We understand your skepticism. So does Wharfedale. For more than 80 years, the British loudspeaker company has prized quality and innovation over all else. Wharfedale produces speakers strictly tailored for the music lover: you. Its products are made for people that want an immersive listening experience and sold at real-world prices you can afford. None of the English firm's lines epitomize these qualities more so than Diamond 10 Series.

High-End Audio's Champion Overachiever
The Diamond 10.0, Wharfedale's entry-level bookshelf model, is an overachiever. Borrowing many characteristics from its larger siblings, this underdog champion offers smooth tonal balances and pristine resolution. Don't judge this speaker by its modest size. Whether playing modern-rock favorites or vocal jazz, the 10.0 exhibits spacious dynamics, nearfield punch, and astute control no matter the program material. It begs to be placed in an office, den, bedroom, porch, lounge, or modest-sized listening room--anywhere you want to hear rich, involving sound.

So Much in Such a Small Size
How does Wharfedale do it? Improving on past award-winning designs, the Diamond 10.0 features a soft-dome tweeter, 3-inch bass driver, and twin rear-firing ports. Other enhancements, ranging from a low-profile chassis to stronger cabinet walls and a composite front-baffle panel, all contribute to reduced vibration, lower distortion, and increased rigidity.

You Won't Notice It's There
Visually, the Diamond 10.0 practically disappears into its surrounding environment. Yet, even when you might notice it, you'll adore the elegantly curved cabinets and gorgeous finishes, with the latter available in three equally striking colors. The compact form extends to functionality. On the back, unlike many speakers whose parallel terminals cause problems with or outright prevent connections with thick cables, the 10.1 boasts offset bi-wire terminals that ensure the best-possible connectivity and allow for a wide range of options.

Your Emotional Satisfaction is Backed by Our Trademark 30-Day Guarantee
Still debating your decision? Music Direct realizes the under-$500 speaker category is quite possibly the most-competitive field in audio. Breathe easier knowing that we promise your satisfaction with our 30-Day Money-Back Guarantee. We honestly don't think you'll be sending back your 10.0s once you hear them, however. They're that addicting. And that good.
