Wharfedale Diamond 11.1

FOR Gorgeously insightful midrange; a lot of bass weight

AGAINST Soft low end; timing and dynamics trail class leaders

Wharfedale has taken the most advanced features of previous generations of its Diamond speakers and put them in a single package – well engineered drive units, a slot port and a layered, curved cabinet.

The aim is to remain affordable while building from the ground up with performance, rather than cost, at the forefront of the company’s mind.

Range identity

The Diamond 11.1s are a pair of 11.1-litre cabinets each sporting a 13cm bass and midrange driver and 25mm textile-dome tweeter. They are the middle pair of three new Diamond standmounters, alongside three floor standing Diamonds and two centre speakers for surround packages.
