help Wharfedale Diamond 9 FAQ

What is the difference between the Wharfedale Diamond 9.0 and the 9.1?

The Diamond 9.0 is a highly compact bookshelf speaker designed for small rooms or desktop use, while the 9.1 is slightly larger and offers deeper bass extension. The 9.1 also features front-firing ports, making them easier to place near walls.

Are the Wharfedale Diamond 9 speakers passive or active?

They are passive speakers, meaning they absolutely require an external stereo amplifier or AV receiver to function. You will need to run standard speaker wire from your amplifier's terminals to the binding posts on the back of the speakers.

What type of tweeter is used in the Diamond 9 series?

The series utilizes a 1-inch soft dome tweeter made from woven silk. This is specifically responsible for the warm, natural timbre that makes spoken word and acoustic music sound incredibly lifelike.

Can I use the Wharfedale Diamond 9 as front speakers in a home theater setup?

Yes, they work exceptionally well as front left and right speakers in a 2.0 or 2.1 channel stereo setup. You will just need to pair them with an amplifier that outputs around 50 to 100 watts per channel for optimal performance.
