Wharfedale Jade 3 Bookshelf Loudspeaker

Uncompromising Sound for Uncompromising Listeners

Delicate High-Frequency Precision, Reference-Caliber Extension, and Phenomenal Low-Frequency Authority

Purity: It separates the finest loudspeakers from the very good, and remains one of the most sought-after qualities in audio. Very few designs feature it to the extent where a component adds no signature, timbre, or distortion to the source material. Wharfedale's Jade Series is built upon such a principle. We're talking sheer transparency, utter neutrality, and perfect voicing. Sonic holography that brings you to the recording studio or concert stage. Instruments and vocals placed in their own distinct spaces. All without interference, artificiality, or imbalance. Uncompromising speakers for uncompromising listeners, every model in the Jade Series features extraordinary audiophile-level performance and smart looks.

The Nuanced Delivery of its Smaller Sibling Plus Outstanding Low-End Control
The biggest of the Jade bookshelf line, Jade 3 is slightly larger than its Jade 1 cousin. And akin to its prized sibling, Jade 3 boasts exceptional high-frequency capabilities, delicate precision, and reference-caliber extension. The three-way bookshelf model superbly presents nuances, microharmonics, transients, and intricacies--yet also plumbs the lower frequencies with more authority, control, and grace. Whether playing back vocal jazz, electronic music, large-scale symphonies, or rafter-shaking metal, you get realism, immediacy, tonality, deep-down speed, cohesiveness, and naturalism as well as firm, taut bass and the ability to seriously rock out. And you get it for a price that's exorbitantly less than what is normally charged for a speaker of such magnitude.

Advancements in Design, Engineering Equate to a Better Listening Experience
Restless innovators, Wharfedale introduces several technologically savvy implements in the Jade 3. Using every available tool at its disposal, the company turned to computer-aided modeling and precision-based engineering in coming up with a perfectionist-minded design. The Jade 3 cone is comprised of Acufiber, which marries the responsiveness of glass and carbon fiber within a self-damping woven matrix, nullifies coloration and breaks up standing waves. A groundbreaking linear drive motor system, aperiodic cabinet loading, and Crystalam cabinets also contribute to the speaker's incredible efficiency and resonance-free sound.

A Speaker You'll Be Proud to Showcase, and a Guarantee You'll Love
Realizing that most modern music lovers want both gorgeous sound and looks, Wharfedale ensured the Jade 3 possesses a stylish appearance that could warrant it an invite to a fashion show. This is a speaker you'll be proud to showcase in your home for many years to come. Its curved cabinets and svelte lines make the Jade 3 a head-turner that simultaneously blends into the surroundings. Factor in Music Direct's 30-Day Money-Back Guarantee, and you've every reason to get a pair of Jade 3s into your life.

"When the time came to move from one favorite source to another, I was always reluctant to make the change - I was having so much fun with the disc spinning in the player that I didn't want it to stop. If that's not enough to justify giving the Wharfedale Jades a high recommendation, I don't know what is."
