Wharfedale Diamond 9.1 review: Wharfedale Diamond 9.1

Wharfedale Diamond 9.1

Beautifully built bookshelf speaker; elegant curves; wood cabinet; 5-inch woofer; 1-inch tweeter; form-fitting metal grille; all-metal biwire connectors.

It's bigger than your average satellite speaker.

Wharfedale's pricey Diamond 9.1 bookshelf satellite sets a high standard for build and sound quality.

Wharfedale Diamond 9.1 review

Anniversary version of this popular speaker is excellent value

Well-built ; Fair price ; Good tonal balance ; Fine imaging

Sound sometimes lacks energy

This beautifully appointed miniature seems remarkably good value for money. It has a laid-back, but nicely progressive tonal balance, which gives a bigger than expected sound, with low coloration and fine imaging.

Wharfedale Diamond 9.1 review

These have long been the best loudspeaker under £200, and the Diamonds still sparkle

Exquisite build for the money ; transparent, detailed and rhythmic sound

Little at this price

One of the greatest budget loudspeakers ever, the 9.1s deliver a quality-laden performance

Wharfedale Diamond 9.4

I got these on sale for $300.00 a pair. They have a smooth sound with a detailed yet not harsh or ringing treble. I prefer these soft dome tweeters over aluminum and titanium. Bass goes deeper than bookshelf speakers and is fairly well controlled. I...

Wharfedale Diamond 9.4

Dealing with Wild West Electronics was great. I originally ordered the 9.2's, but they were out of stock. WWE gave me a selection of two other monitors plus the 9.4's to choose from, which is why I got them for 300.
