Wharfedale Super Denton [New Arrival]

[@JamesBrown-jy5sy]

The dome midrange makes a big difference. Thanks for sharing!

[@cpodurnell3701]

Edge diffraction like no other.

[@peterlarkin762]

True, like the Lintons. But both are designed to be played with grille in place which mitigates that somewhat.

[@Dazzles6969]

What is edge refraction?

[@rxonmymind8362]

​@Dazzles6969 Diffraction happens when a sound wave meets an obstacle. When this happens, the sound wave is distorted or its direction is modified. This happens differently, depending on the frequency of the sound. Different frequencies have different wavelengths. If the wavelength is bigger than the size of the obstacle, it passes through it like it’s not even there. So for woofers, diffraction is not much of an issue. For higher frequencies, which have a short corresponding wavelength, diffraction can and will happen

[@Dazzles6969]

@ ok thanks. So is that a bad thing with these speakers or is it the room?

[@rxonmymind8362]

@Dazzles6969 Not sure. YOU will have to make that determination. I could have you sit in front of $100k speaker but you don't take a liking to them. Every ear is different. For me Focal speakers are a little too forward and clinical and one had to pair them with a mellow amplifier. OTOH these Dentons, Linton and I suspect Doves all have to have a little more lively receiver like a Yamaha which tend towards the clinical and forward. So it depends largely on how you pair the system. My Marantz 2500 sounded horrible on the Dentons but beautiful on my Klipsch Bells which are super efficient. My Sony sounded not good on the same Klipsch Bells but wonderful on the Dentons.* Shrug* You will have to sit and decide what's best for you.

[@kosiekoos9408]

That midrange driver sure shows its mettle

[@roybrolsbeak]

Bad thing?

[@liamporter1137]

Love its small size.

[@shinjukutrain]

Nice three-way bookshelves. If the tweeter is a real upgrade on the Denton 85th then these are a great option.

[@handokosetiawan2803]

Looks like they use the same (over bright) tweeters as Denton 85 / Linton 85...

[@shinjukutrain]

@@handokosetiawan2803 No, they used a redesigned, upgraded tweeter assembly partly taken from the Dovedale. No-one says the tweeters on the Lintons are over-bright, anyway. They integrate differently on a three-way speaker.

[@zorawarmanchanda5397]

I have them and it is indeed an upgrade

[@zorawarmanchanda5397]

They sound great

[@militarysales]

Great sound for the money! Is that an Audiolab Integrated Silver running things in the background? Thinking of getting a pair but I have a Naim Nait 5si with an entry level pair of Elac Speakers, its amazing really that most people give up on their speakers until they can be fully driven by a quality amplifier stet up! To me its so important to pick your amplifier first then your speakers!! Thanks for sharing!

[@chris5375]

Great set up, I’ve got the super Denton and the Audiolab 7000 A 👌

[@roybrolsbeak]

how are the vocals on this speaker, im looking for a clear midrange but not that hifi harsh sound

[@ryangonyer9498]

I love a dome mid!

[@dennishill290]

Nice presentation and set-up 🍺 👍..... !

[@Wuppie62]

What are the components in this setup?

[@hifitower001]

Audiolab 7000N Play (Streamer) Audiolab 9000A (Pre) Audiolab 8300XP (Power)

[@CM-dw3gh]

Do you use the Integrated or Pre Power mode on the audiolab? Cheers

[@nonamenoname9977]

Super👍

[@stephenbailey9969]

My Denton 80's took at least a hundred hours to open up.

[@fluidcactus9400]

about a month ?

[@stephenbailey9969]

@@fluidcactus9400 About two.

[@hendipetranus3255]

Whats power amps do you use?

[@hifitower001]

In this VDO, we use Audiolab 9000A as Pre Amp and Audiolab 8300XP as Power Amp.

[@actylise]

Amazing , did you compared with Lintons ? Are this better ?

[@hifitower001]

I have been compare with linton. Bass and soundstage are less than linton. But I can not say Super Denton is lower level than Linton. Wharfedale design Super Denton for the people who love Linton sound but thier room is too small to match with Linton.

[@hifitower001]

So if your room is big enough, recommend go to Linton. But if your room can bot handel the Linton bass, Super Denton is a good choice.

[@jreal.89]

@@hifitower001the 85th’s are sold out right now do you recommend waiting on these instead?

[@actylise]

Thank you so much for the answer, I am into this matter: super Denton or Linton, I have a 25 -30 squares meter room , also I like that lintons came with stands in a beautiful package, the price in Romania for super Denton’s is higher a bit because is new model

[@hifitower001]

@@actylise for 30 sq.m., go for linton. Recommended

[@paulhanlon5112]

Vocals...Cupped Hands

[@95lovi]

From the sound over u tube they sound to overwelhming in the Bass they dont separate well. maybe its the recording

[@wicomms]

The recording sounds like Denton is in a box.

[@militarysales]

There is little bass in this song, too complain about a subwoofer makes no sense, reading comments down below. As mentioned I am driving Elac B6 2.0 speakers with Naim Nait 5si and they sizzle and you don't need a subwoofer no matter what is played back! My Elacs with Naim although modest in pricing play like Proac or BMW Speakers, close your eyes you cannot tell, again its not the speakers its the amplification and quality!

[@akpantip109]

สาย2 ต้องจัดล่ะครับ จัดมาบ้างแล้วบริการดีมากครับ

[@martinaston1715]

Ehhh?

[@loganrunjack]

What are the dimensions of the supers?

[@hifitower001]

Dimensions (mm) Height (on plinth) 360mm Width 246mm Depth (with terminals) (275+20)mm

[@loganrunjack]

Thanks!

[@Longbody1000]

How do these compare to the Evo 4.3s ?

[@swllz]

@@Longbody1000 Did you mean Evo 4.2?

[@johndigital2660]

I am more interested in how these compare to the Lintons

[@Gioxtream]

Sounds boxy to me.

[@Evolved_ue7]

I agree and some kind of muffle going on, might be just KZbin, however I have the Evo 4.2 and I've given up on them .

[@chris5375]

Put the grill on 😉

[@eddybabe7963]

Why does everybody keep removing the grills? Designed to be on.

[@hifitower001]

To take a picture or VDO, we want to show the driver insted of grill. But for listening, srecommended to put the grill on.

[@connorduke4619]

Looks fantastic, but these are screaming for a subwoofer.

[@wicomms]

Horrible sound. Echo in room bad.

[@shaunyweaver1144]

Must be recording, because they sound awful ..

[@militarysales]

I see now, yes! its Audiolab..still prefer Naim or even Rega would be a nice match with this latest Denton launch, nice sound either way!

[@The_Robot_Arm]

Sad part it's made in China.

[@bengchiatseah3908]

Good thing it was made in China, else most people can't afford to buy it.

[@sfomann]

The device you used to write this comment is also most likely make in china. Otherwise you would not be able to afford to buy this device.

[@martinaston1715]

Stupid comment

[@roybrolsbeak]

this is getting old. with current price raises no one could afford products if it wasnt made in china
