Wharfedale Diamond 12.3 passive floor diffuser, black

Product Information

Next we move to Camo & Crooked’s “Watch It Burn”, and the slow build on this song really pulls you in. The Wharfedales deliver superbly on the subtle layering as they build to the first peak, which crashes over me with a phenomenal amount of power for the size of these speakers. The individual layers are recognisable but fit in to the greater picture nicely, and the Diamond 12.3s keep up even as the layering gets hefty. Klipsch KLF-30 Loudspeakers, Klipsch KLF-C7 center speaker, Klipsch SS.5 surround speakers, and a M&K K9 subwoofer. Delivering sound from those Watts are three drive units in an arrangement known as 2.5-way where the upper two drive units cover the entire audio band and the lower one delivers bass only, to improve bass power handling and reduce bass distortion by increasing cone area. Impressive bass performance: For their size, these speakers deliver deep and well-controlled bass, providing a solid foundation for your music.

In comparison, the Q Acoustics 3050i delivers a different but equally competent interpretation with a touch of additional fluidity and spaciousness; but overall, we find that the Diamonds have a slightly more precise and tactile performance and are particularly well suited for a system used as much for music as movies. Please note that our couriers will try to deliver as arranged but we will not be held responsible for any costs incurred because of non-delivery or factors introduced by third-parties. This service is based upon best endeavour and is not guaranteed.An audio company that’s been in the audio business since 1932, Wharfedale has a reputation for using high-quality materials, and the Diamond 12.3 speakers are no exception. The cabinet is constructed from MDF, which reduces unwanted resonances and vibrations, ensuring your audio remains clean and clear. Our third-octave pink-noise analysis (grille on), with microphone slightly off-axis (10 degrees) shows reasonably flat response down to a low 30Hz. With microphone on-axis there was plateau lift of +2dB above 3kHz, so the Diamond 12.3 will sound brighter if pointed directly at listeners, rather than straight down a room. Some slight lift above the 3kHz crossover frequency will ensure good detail retrieval but will make highs obvious. Style wise, there is a traditional dark oak finish, but our samples came with a light wood veneer on the cabinet plus a white front baffle to give a bright, clean appearance aimed at the modern home – one with a lot of Ikea in it perhaps.A cosmetically fresh finish for an audience of today who might just take their headphones off for 5 seconds to listen to loudspeakers (I have deep experience of all this!). Not every speaker you find will be suitable for your intended application. Here are some of the Wharfedale Diamond 12.3’s ideal use cases: Home theater setups

AB31, AB32, AB33, AB34, AB35, AB36, AB37, AB38, AB41, AB42, AB43, AB44, AB45, AB46, AB47, AB48, AB49, AB50, AB51, AB52, AB53, AB54, AB55, AB56 With its powerful amp and long-throw bass cone, the Wharfedale SW-10 subwoofer gets you deeper into your music and movies.The low sonic tones of the soundscape and vibrational rumbles of the astronaut's movements have a tendency on lesser systems to be either over prominent or sloppily monotone, but the SW-10 combines a firm grasp with swift agility, resulting in a measured performance that has plenty of tonal variation and blends effortlessly with the low end of the 12.3s. With a power handling of 150 watts and an impedance of 8 ohms, the Diamond 12.3 speakers are easy to drive. This means they’ll work well with most amplifiers or AV receivers, even those with lower power outputs. Frequency response and sensitivity The crossover in the Diamond 12.3 is a crucial component, as it directs the appropriate frequencies to each driver, ensuring a balanced and accurate sound reproduction. Wharfedale has carefully designed this crossover using high-quality components, such as air-core inductors and polypropylene capacitors. This attention to detail contributes to the speakers’ exceptional audio performance. Recommended amplifier pairing Occasionally, as in the chase through Matera in No Time To Die, achieving a dynamic balance between the rears and fronts can result in certain, more insistent sounds having a slight over prominence in the 12.1s, though this only happens very occasionally.
