#95 Wharfedale Diamond 12.0i: $399 per pair Estimated Music Direct eBay

Older model: the Wharfedale Diamond 12.0 (ranked lower, estimated 3.1/5). See every Wharfedale Diamond generation.

Same family: the Wharfedale Diamond 12.1i (larger bookshelf, ranked higher, estimated 4/5), the Wharfedale Diamond 12.3i (smaller floorstanding, estimated 4/5), the Wharfedale Diamond 12.4i (larger floorstanding, estimated 4.2/5) and the Wharfedale Diamond 12.Ci (center, estimated 3.6/5).

Pros: The 2025 update of the Wharfedale Diamond 12.0, keeping its 4” Klarity woofer and 1” woven polyester dome tweeter with a refined port, extra bracing and damping. At 87dB and 8 ohms it is easy to drive from a small amplifier, and it is the most compact model in Wharfedale’s Diamond 12i range.

Cons: No independent measurements yet, so its tonal balance and directivity can’t be compared with ranked speakers. Rated bass stops at 70Hz (±3dB), so it needs a subwoofer for anything beyond desktop or small-room listening.
