SOUND & VISION Festival - Wharfedale
What can you expect to see from Wharfedale at the upcoming SOUND & VISION Festival at AudioTrends, Melbourne May 29th - 31st?
In STUDIO 7 at the Sound & Vision Festival, Wharfedale will unveil the latest version of its Diamond Series, the all new Diamond 200 Series.
The original Wharfedale Diamond was released in 1982. It was a rear-ported cabinet, just over 5 litres in volume. It held a 3/4” dome tweeter and 4.5” long throw polypropylene mid/bass driver, matched to a very simple but effective crossover design. It's small cabinet and impeccable stereo image meant the original Wharfedale Diamond took the industry by storm, quickly becoming a best-seller and a permanent fixture in the Wharfedale product range.
33 years later, the Diamond 200 series continues the Diamond Series legacy, again setting the bar for what a budget speaker should be. And the industry agrees, presenting the Diamond 200 series with a number awards within weeks of their official launch.
In STUDIO 7 you will be treated to the Diamond 220 bookshelf speaker (What Hi Fi 2014 Awards product of the year in the budget bookshelf category) as well as the Diamond 230 floor standing speaker, again a highly regarded and awarded speaker.
Exceptional speaker matter very little if they are driven by inferior electronics or cabling, and to that effect, the Wharfedale Diamond 230 floor standing speakers will be matched to the Quad Elite Series electronics (from Wharfedale’s sister company, also demonstrating its products in STUDIO 1), while the Diamond 220 bookshelf speakers will be driven by Quad’s latest compact integrated amplifier the Vena.
Both systems will be matched to QED cables and interconnects for the best possible system connections.

applause awards
Each time StereoNET reviews a product, it is considered for an Applause Award. Winning one marks it out as a design of great quality and distinction – a special product in its class, on the grounds of either performance, value for money, or usually both.
Applause Awards are personally issued by StereoNET’s global Editor-in-Chief, David Price – who has over three decades of experience reviewing hi-fi products at the highest level – after consulting with our senior editorial team. They are not automatically given with all reviews, nor can manufacturers purchase them.
The StereoNET editorial team includes some of the world’s most experienced and respected hi-fi journalists with a vast wealth of knowledge. Some have edited popular English language hi-fi magazines, and others have been senior contributors to famous audio journals stretching back to the late 1970s. And we also employ professional IT and home theatre specialists who work at the cutting edge of today’s technology.
We believe that no other online hi-fi and home cinema resource offers such expert knowledge, so when StereoNET gives an Applause Award, it is a trustworthy hallmark of quality. Receiving such an award is the prerequisite to becoming eligible for our annual Product of the Year awards, awarded only to the finest designs in their respective categories. Buyers of hi-fi, home cinema, and headphones can be sure that a StereoNET Applause Award winner is worthy of your most serious attention.
