The speakers Diamond 12.1 from the company Wharfedale Characterized as bookshelf speakers because they are placed on a shelf or special base, which is sold separately. In this category usually belong the main speakers of a sound system, but due to their small size they can also be used as peripherals for better sound simulation. The impedance of them is 8Ω, which means they can be connected to an amplifier of equivalent impedance. However, you should also check the power of the speakers and the amplifier to ensure compatibility between them. This is a speaker 2 way, meaning the sound frequencies are reproduced by two speakers, one tweeter for the high frequencies and one woofer for the low frequencies.

Still not broken in, infinitely better than the 12.2, obviously due to the correct crossover (2,600 Hz compared to 2,000 Hz in the 12.2).
Here I'm giving it 5 stars straight away.
Body and volume (which were absent in the 12.2), musicality, timbre, warmth, emotion, there is no harshness of the 12.2, the sound is bright, it has sweetness and does not offend you even in the slightest to tire you.
In general, they have a velvety quality to their sound.
Also, the bass is noticeably clearer.
Obviously the same tweeter (not the best in the world, I will stick to my initial opinion - on 6/9/24 I might take this back, as the speaker breaks in it seems just fine for its price or even generally, as long as it is driven correctly regarding the frequency range it is supposed to reproduce) but here the crossover cuts at 2,600 Hz and does not stress it at all, resulting in (a) playing much better (it doesn't complain, it doesn't "scratch") and (b) you don't realize that there are 2 speakers (i.e., where one stops and the other starts) so that you hear a sound with coherence where nothing is disconnected.
I won't write anything more now (maybe another time, when they are broken in) but I believe you can buy them without hesitation (I bought them for 279 euros) because, yes, they are very good, worth it, I recommend them.
Don't buy the 12.2 for example just because they go lower in bass. You will regret it. If you listen to them side by side, you won't believe how much "bigger" the 12.1 sound compared to their big brother the 12.2, among other things, i.e., while the 12.1 sound like they are singing, the 12.2 sound like they are screaming because the crossover has pushed the tweeter down so low.
8/9/24
The speakers have broken in quite a bit, their already good sound has improved tremendously and they are much better than I imagined. Wonderful, very musical, open sound, tones, everything, buy them without hesitation. They justify every last euro of their price and quite a bit more. They are made to provide enjoyment. I admit I didn't expect to get so hooked on these. What else can I say? I will have a hard time listening to another speaker for a long time and whenever I do, no matter how good it is, I will appreciate it accordingly, but I see myself going back to the 12.1 again.
S.D.
Amazing speakers. They replaced the Wharfedale D310 for desktop use. They exceeded my expectations. Very well-balanced in all frequencies, with a touch of warmth in the lows, but overall neutral. Simple and beautiful design with excellent build quality and flawless assembly, considering the specific price range. Works very well with the ifi Zen Dac v2.
They were purchased to replace the Roister DS100. They were connected to a Yamaha RXV540rds. Very clear sound in movies. Clean bass and amazing midrange. They were purchased for 300 euros and for that money, I didn't hear anything better
I have had them for about a month and I am completely satisfied with their performance. I previously had the 10.1 series, but these are incomparably superior. Justifiably awarded by foreign magazines. Excellent across the entire frequency spectrum and very impressive in appearance. They can be compared to speakers that cost twice as much. Well done, Wharfedale.
