Wharfedale Diamond 230 Review & Demo

[@robcrusoeakarobb556]

Glad I watched this video - looked online at Richer these are currently £350 - took a leaf out of your book and found some like new for £150 - had to drive an hour to pick up so offered £130 and the accepted it - saved £220 thanks to you bud - heavy solid built speakers - love em

Exceptionally helpful review. Really helped me to make a decision over which speakers to get. Thank you very much for making this video!

I Just got these November 2024 a pair of these speakers from Richer sounds in the Uk at a reduced price these warfedale 230 are now discontinued which 100 % makes No sense as they are that good wow 🙂 these are totally amazing build very heavy' solid build with a full on sound even straight out the box even with No running period which most new speakers need they punch way above what they cost they are No brainer bargain ' so much so I am looking to get a second pair next week while stocks last Richer sounds told me these are the last batch stock from Warfedale trust me they are that good finally my guess why they have stopped being made is the cost to make is to high to sell at there retail price so wharfedale simple just put the price up a bit i am sure they will still sale

Hey great video, I listened to your advice on a video before and I bought the wharfedale 12.2, but I’ve got my eyes on the 230…. Do you think it’s worth changing them out? As you said they’ve got a dedicated speaker for all highs, mids and lows…. Thanks!! 😁

How does q acoustics 3050i compare to these? Which goes better for Yamaha avr, i don't like ear fatigue but same time I don't to to miss the details in the sound track.

[@UTILITARIANTVUK]

Personally, I'd go with the 3050i

I don't know why,but I prefer the idea of bass ports as opposed to coming out of a gap at the bottom.

[@missmisiowa]

i have these. i put them on marble slabs to 'tighten' the low frequencies. the lows now 'fill the room' as if they weren't coming form the speakers. astonishing.

Ive had these before the 12.2s, they obviously sound larger cover the room better but sound quality wise they are not even close to the 12s. So much more detail to be heard on the 12.2s, much more balanced and better quality bass dare I say!

[@UTILITARIANTVUK]

12.2's have a bigger cabinet and a larger bass driver than my 12.1's so I'd imagine they would definitely compete in the bass department.

[@AbsoluteFidelity]

@@UTILITARIANTVUK just a wee bit larger as Wharfedales have always measured driver sizes from the edges of the basket and not from the centre of the surround rubber to the other. My 6 and half inch, woofer that is (hahaha!), certainly doesnt look like 6 and half inches and I can bet your 5 and quarter inch looks like its 4 inches. Bloody cheaters. Hahahahahahaha!

[@UTILITARIANTVUK]

Yes they do!

[@sanonmars]

@@AbsoluteFidelity yes true. Even I also thought that the size is of cone but it is not. But it seems the same is done by most brands. I have SVS elevation the same thing.

[@AbsoluteFidelity]

@@sanonmars wharfedale definitely outdo other brands in this regard... the 6 and half inch looks a wee bit smaller than the 5 and a quarter inch i have when i put it side by side.

[@mikeyb6639]

They 5 and a half inch woofers. Not 6 and half but good buy

[@UTILITARIANTVUK]

Just quoting what it says on the tin but I guess your going to tell me something about measuring from inner part of the speaker as they measure from the outer part?
