#78 Wharfedale Diamond 12.4: $999.00 per pair Passive Estimated Amazon eBay

Smaller models: the Wharfedale Diamond 12.3 (ranked lower, estimated 3.9/5), the Wharfedale Diamond 12.2 (estimated 4.1/5), the Wharfedale Diamond 12.1 (rated 3.9/5) and the Wharfedale Diamond 12.0 (estimated 3.1/5).

Pros: Flagship 2.5-way floorstander of the Diamond 12 generation equipped with dual 6.5-inch Klarity polypropylene/mica woofers and a 1-inch polyester dome tweeter in a substantial floorstanding enclosure. Delivers authoritative low-frequency impact down to 40Hz alongside high power handling and 89dB sensitivity, making it capable of filling large spaces with the cohesive directivity and low coloration characteristic of the series.

Cons: Rating estimated from measured Diamond 12 lineup siblings. Generous bass output requires careful positioning at least 0.5 to 1 meter away from rear room boundaries to prevent low-frequency room-mode excitation.

How it compares: Just above it: Q Acoustics 5040 - $237 more, 2.5Hz higher bass extension (-3dB). Just below it: Bowers & Wilkins 603 S3 - $251 more, 1Hz higher bass extension (-3dB).
