Ideal for placement in a modest-size area, these Wharfedale Diamond 10.1 WHD101BLK bookshelf speakers faithfully reproduce sound via 5" mid/bass drivers and 1" tweeters. The open-back driver design helps eliminate back-wave bleed through the cones.

5" DuPont™ KEVLAR® fiber mid/bass driver: Along with twin rear-firing ports creates a tightly focused, wide and deep soundstage. Poly-fill stuffed enclosures improve bass and midrange performance.
1" custom-made soft-dome tweeter: With a neodymium magnet clearly reproduces high frequency ranges up to 30kHz. Polypropylene capacitors on the tweeter crossover offer silky, smooth highs.
Composite front-baffle panel: Along with full internal cross-bracing, a strong MDF enclosure and curved side panels effectively reduces vibration and increases rigidity to help eliminate acoustic distortion.
Offset bi-wire terminals: Located on the back of the speaker allow simple, secure connectivity.
Compact, low-profile chassis: Enables versatile placement on a shelf or stand in a modest-size listening space, such as an office, den, bedroom, porch or lounge.

Good product for the price
My son spent a considerable amount of time researching new speakers. We listened to a few at the store and purchased these off of your website for in-store pick-up. The product is great & the purchase process very simple.

Break them in!!!
Once you've gone through the long "breaking in period" these might be the best sounding bookshelf speakers you'll ever own. I have them hooked up to a vintage solid state marantz amp and they sing beautifully. Neutral, balanced, attractive, what's not to like? I do have them paired up with a Polk psw10 sub, however unless you want that deep extended bass they would be fine on their own.

Don't buy them
I bought these speakers because they were highly recommended by the guys at Stereophile. I thought these English-made speakers would be hard to find, so I was impressed that BB carried them. When I got them home, I was very disappointed to find that they are very weak in the high frequencies. Cymbals sound dull and distant, rim shots and stick sounds are colorless "clicks," and vocals are missing their breathiness and intimacy. Thank goodness for BB's no-hassle return policy!
