Wharfedale Diamond 10.4 Tower Speakers Powerhouse Performance Belies the Budget-Conscious Price Lush, Transparent, Inspired: You"ll Get Lost in the Sound How much of a difference can the addition of a dedicated 5-inch bass driver in an already acclaimed speaker design make? Listen to the Wharfedale Diamond 10.4 speaker and you"ll be floored by what you hear. This lush, transparent, and inspired model--which shares a majority of its characteristics with its slightly smaller sibling, the 10.3--turns in a powerhouse performance that belies its price. It"s so revealing and enjoyable, the critic for Home Theater Review magazine got lost in the sound and totally forgot he was writing a review. Now that"s musical realism. Wharfedale Brings More Than 80 Years of Innovation to the 10.4 Improving on past award-winning designs, the 10.4 features Kevlar cones, a soft-dome tweeter equipped with a neodymium magnet, and full internal cross-bracing. A 5-inch bass driver and twin rear-firing ports bring up the bottom end and yield exuberant punch. Other enhancements, ranging from a low-profile chassis to stronger cabinet walls and a composite front-baffle panel, all contribute to reduced vibration, lower distortion, and increased rigidity. At Music Direct, we don"t expect anything less from a British loudspeaker company that for more than 80 years has prized quality and innovation over all else. Visual Works of Art Visually, the Diamond 10.4 looks as pretty as it sounds. The elegantly curved cabinets and gorgeous finishes (available in three striking colors) give the speaker an artistic presence. Plus, the 10.4 is effortless to use. On the back, unlike many speakers whose parallel terminals cause problems with or outright prevent connections with thick cables, the 10.4 boasts offset bi-wire terminals that ensure the best-possible connectivity and allow for a wide range of options.
