For Sale Wharfedale Diamond 10.1 Bookshelf Loudspeakers

Further Information

Hi Everyone, 

I'm in the process of assisting a close friend liquidate a vast majority of his Hi Fi equipment as he has recently transitioned into Aged Care Centre and unfortunately cannot take the majority of his equipment with him to the centre.  

I have rated this pair of speakers as good condition as opposed to being excellent as there is a tiny wear mark on the grill cloth at the bottom of one of the grills and a very small section of one of the speaker cabinet’s is showing slight age wear at the curved section of one side that meets the top join. All drivers are in good condition with no visible signs of damage of any kind that I can see from my multiple visual inspections.

These speakers perform and punch well above their weight considering their size. I have been testing these Diamond 10.1’s for over a fortnight swapping between a Pathos Classic One Mk3 tube hybrid to an ME240 to a 1980’s Audiolab 8000a for a total of over 20hrs of auditioning time and they haven’t missed a beat and have impressed me greatly.  

For anyone interested that is not local, these speakers can be securely wrapped and packed in cardboard carton for shipping at cost.
