unusual for such an affordable line of speakers. The epoxy/fiberglass material is much stiffer than Kapton

Best suited for small to medium-sized rooms: The Diamond 12.3 performs optimally in smaller spaces, so those with larger rooms may need to look at other options.These Diamonds also sound good at lower volume levels. Too often we come across speakers that only come alive when pushed hard, but the 12.3 can be enjoyed at levels that won’t wake the kids or upset the neighbours late at night. That counts for a lot in our books. Now we’re getting into the juicier details. Let’s look at some more quantitative features and specs of the Wharfedale Diamond 12.3 speakers. Power handling and impedance Such an audience isn’t likely to possess an amplifier of substance, so the ability to provide some oomph from a few Watts is where a floorstander scores: the bigger a loudspeaker is, the less power it needs. Counter-intuitive I know, but if a slim cabinet like that of the 12.3 can be found space in a room then it needs little more. A few Watts will do, since this is a sensitive loudspeaker.

The more compact of the Wharfedale DIAMOND 12 series floorstanding options, the DIAMOND 12.3 loses none of the accuracy and musicality of the standmount (bookshelf) options. With enhanced presence and power, the DIAMOND 12.3 is refined and the perfect, affordable floorstanding speaker for 2-channel hi-fi systems, or as the front pair of a seriously impressive home theatre system. Configured in a 2.5 way system with exception crossover technology, the DIAMOND 12.3 utilises dual 130mm (5”) KlarityTM drivers for impactful yet refined mid-range and bass frequencies, while the 25mm (1”) dome tweeter delivers open and smoothly extended high frequencies. All components in BOLD are loaned or in for review; all components in standard face are owned by me. These speakers also have a sensitivity rating of 89 dB, which is relatively high. In layman’s terms, this means they can produce a decent volume level with a moderate amount of power. Crossover design and components A precision-made magnet system with an aluminium compensation ring to minimise the effect of variations in inductance as the voice coil travels. This contributes to an absence of distortion and intermodulation generated by the ‘motor system’. A voice coil beyond this classSo, who are these speakers perfect for?

Gilbert Briggs, founder of Wharfedale, wrote a whole slew of books on sound reproduction and loudspeaker design, from 1948 onwards. In them lie pictures of the company’s test facilities: Wharfedale was founded on the idea of scientific analysis and that’s what they play on with the Diamonds, referring to today’s computer based analysis systems that optimise cabinets, magnetic circuits and even cone materials.The component parts of this ‘speaker have all been knowledgeably designed even though price is low.

When positioning the Diamond 12.3 speakers, consider their rear-firing bass port. Make sure to leave some space between the speakers and the wall to allow for proper airflow. Experiment with angling the speakers slightly inward toward your listening position for optimal imaging.
