Are the Dentons BETTER than CHEAPER Wharfedales?!

I love my Denton 80's, they sound great to me..... Nice and warm

[@killercarpcatcher]

I swapped out my Diamond 121's for a pair of Diamond 9.1s and it was an immediate improvement. Clarity in the vocals was the greatest improvement.

[@TheMildperil]

I have had both the Diamond 9.1 and the Denton 80th pass through my hands and, as standard, I much preferred the Denton. I can quite believe the 9.1 has better bones and mainly let down by cheap crossover components, particularly electrolytic caps.

[@johnhancock6951]

Thanks Danny, you've swayed me. I've a pair of these Denton 80ths on my near-field work setup, backed by a Peachtree Nova 150. I've always liked them OKAY, but they're missing clarity and refinement, especially compared against some of my other Wharfedale speakers in my home. The Dentons are fun to listen to, but I get fatigued with them pretty quickly, which makes it difficult to relax and just enjoy the music. I have a pair of Wharfedale Reva 2s on another setup with an IotaVX SA3 amp, and they're quite astonishing. I've considered swapping speakers around, but now it looks like I won't have to.

the Wharfedale Diamond 9.1 is the best 99£/120$ i ever spent. used with all kinds of amps; 50 - 200w, been used plenty & survived 2-3 years stored on a disused boat. using em right now as desktops ✌😎👍

Keep up the good work, Danny!

In my over 30 years in this business I can tell you the most important thing I've learned and that is; most folks have been listening to bad audio for so long when they hear something that is an accurate reproduction in a treated room they either can't accept the fact that it sounds better or, and this is a real chuckle, they want more low end to the point of distortion...

”What where you thinking?”

Love to see a jbl 305 and 705 powered monitor sweep. Also an old jbl century compared to a new version.

[@sveneisenhauer1]

Danny, amazing transformation, especially considering only $315 for this upgrade. I am sure many owners of these speakers will welcome this fix. I almost want to buy a set of them and your upgrade kit, just ‘for fun’ to hear the before/after.

[@darrylbrueckner2812]

I have the Dentons run through an Emotiva A100 & Schiit Saga as a nearfield, second system. Never pushed past 75db. I absolutely love them. Strong bass and warm, forgiving presentation. Curious if I'd still emotionally connect with them post-upgrades? Maybe I'll find out someday when the inevitable upgrade bug bites me 🤪 Side note - the real walnut veneers are outstanding for this price category.

Fabulous video!!!

[@CowboyBill521]

I would like to see some speakers that Danny likes. Some without “cheesy parts”

[@AbsoluteFidelity]

I have to give it to you when you do something well too. Aced it correcting the horrible response. Great job, you now made it enjoyable to listen to because I hated it when I listened to the 85ths and especially the 80ths. Very well done.

[@SmallChurch]

Hey Danny * got a TYPO in your video title* - CHEAER = CHEAPER.... cheers from Japan, (ex. Scotland). [Lovin' your videos/Channel as always - keep on, keeping on, buddy!!]

[@Three-Chord-Trick]

I enjoy these presentations. He doesn't seem to have a good word for ANYTHING. But not in a bad way. In a "tough love". He finds fault with everything. He's so down, but in an amusing way. He's what we call over here (UK) A Misery Guts. 👍

[@EsotericArctos]

If I recall, these were designed as a Grill On speaker. The grill is designed to be part of the audio design. Grill On was designed to like the old style speakers, more part of the furniture than showing off the drivers.

[@newENIO11]

so far i know at least 2 people with dentons that have the midwoofer's tinsel leads snapped. seems like they are a tad short keep up with the high excursion motor.

[@gavinralph2910]

Danny, keep in mind this is Wharfedales heritage range, they are deliberately voiced 'warm' as a nod to the old school sound of the early 70's. So its going to look really odd on your graphs. Its about the sound...not the science for the heritage range. Also they are a grill on design.

[@evilmonstertruck]

Should have the loot for NX series soon. Are there any plans for changed to them before I do?? Don't want to buy them they get updated. Ha
