Wharfedale Introduces Its Diamond 200 Series
Loudspeakers to the U.S. Market at CES 2015
— Full lineup of new home theater and stereo models incorporates numerous
upgrades for exceptional performance and value —
INTERNATIONAL CES, LAS VEGAS, Nevada, January 6, 2015 — At CES 2015, Wharfedale is introducing its Diamond 200 Series loudspeakers in the U.S. Distributed by Sound Solutions in the U.S., the new Diamond 200 Series includes the model 210 and 220 bookshelf monitors, model 230, 240 and 250 floorstanding towers, model 220C center channel speaker and model WH-D8 and WH-D10 subwoofers. All incorporate significant upgrades from the previous, highly acclaimed Diamond 10 Series to deliver exceptional musical accuracy at prices ranging from $299 to $1,599 per pair suggested retail.
The Diamond 200 Series enclosures have been upgraded to a more rigid laminated construction, to reduce enclosure vibration to a minimum. The woofers and midrange drivers feature woven and impregnated Kevlar cones with a high stiffness-to-mass ratio to deliver superb clarity. The woofers have been improved and utilize larger magnets, which makes the speakers easier to drive and capable of greater output. Diamond 200 Series loudspeakers employ a 1-inch soft-dome tweeter for smooth, detailed treble.
Wharfedale’s Diamond 200 Series loudspeakers offer a more room-friendly design and can be placed closer to a rear wall to achieve optimum performance and imaging, thanks to a new slot-loaded bass port that also makes the speakers more efficient and reduces low-frequency coloration. In addition, the crossover network has been refined to further improve the integration between the drivers and enable greater realism in reproducing voices and instruments. The result is a lineup of speakers that deliver an involving musical presentation with a natural tonal balance, tightly focused yet spacious stereo image, expansive surround sound and clear, engaging reproduction of vocals and instruments.
Even the speakers’ appearance has been upgraded with a clean, minimalist design with lacquered front baffles accented by round grilles with silver trim rings. Wharfedale Diamond 200 loudspeakers will be available in January 2015 in a choice of Black Ash, White Sandex, Walnut Pearl and Rosewood finishes.
The Wharfedale Diamond 200 loudspeakers are being demonstrated as part of a complete home theater/music system during CES 2015 at The Venetian, Suite 29-124. Wharfedale’s recently introduced Jade high-end subwoofers and Jade 3 loudspeakers are also on exhibit in the Sound Solutions/Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab Suite 29-120 as part of a system with AVID HiFi turntables and electronics and Balanced Audio Technology ultrahigh-end audio components.
