New Wharfedale diamond series out soon!



Looks like minor changes with binding posts, crossover, finishes, and bass port for the main alterations.
 
I wonder whether our friend Karl-Heinz Fink, the original series 12 designer, was involvedk in the refresh.
 
Nice to see wharfedale keeping up with newer releases, given the current market it would be easy to hold off releasing anything ....

I read somewhere that Peter Comeau was involved, but not sure if Karl F. has any input or not.

Would LOVE to hear what Mr. Comeau has to say about changes and his ideas on this great little speaker.

We can ping Mr. @Petercom , although he is not very active here on ASR, he still writes sometimes: :)

Have great interest also in the 12.2, and the 12.3 models also!
There’s lots in that very long thread linked above. IIRC their co-designer K-H Fink, expressed a mild preference for the 12.1 for overall balance. That doesn’t mean you won’t prefer the larger ones for your circumstances however.
 
Interested in Wharfedale Diamond 12.4i, any one know the performance? Compared to 12.4?
 
It's a bit strange that for Europe the i's are only available in Ireland ( 339 Euro for the 12.2i) and the UK ( GBP). I like the new colours but don't know what shipping will cost to the main continent from Ireland.
 
The 2 biggest book shelf models are now possible to buy in denmark

BUT the 12.2i has 100% a wrong price, double of the 12.1i
