help Wharfedale Diamond 12.3 FAQ

Is the Wharfedale Diamond 12.3 a bookshelf speaker?

No. The Diamond 12.3 is a compact floorstanding speaker, while the Diamond 12.1 and 12.2 are the stand-mount models in the same range.

Does the Diamond 12.3 need a subwoofer?

Its two bass and midrange drivers provide more low-frequency output than the Diamond 12.2, so music can sound full without a subwoofer. A subwoofer remains useful for deep film effects and the lowest electronic or organ notes.

Who designed the Diamond 12 series?

Wharfedale developed the Diamond 12 range with acoustic designer Karl-Heinz Fink. The series uses the company's Klarity cone material rather than the Kevlar cones found in some older Diamond generations.

Can a modest stereo amplifier drive the Diamond 12.3?

Yes, it is intended for conventional home hi-fi amplifiers, but an amplifier must remain comfortable with the speaker's impedance demands. Room size and listening distance matter more than chasing an exaggerated wattage figure.
