Furniture - Wharfedale Speakers
It is generally accepted that your hi-fi or AV system will only sound its best when supported on a quality hi-fi stand or AV rack, designed to isolate it from noise and vibrations. Additionally, high quality speaker stands are essential for the best sound from bookshelf speakers and we always recommend using a dedicated wall shelf to isolate your turntable. Popular brands include Atacama, Partington and Quadraspire.
Wharfedale has a history of over 75 years of setting standards in perfecting loudspeaker performance and are renowned for having the most integrated and thorough manufacturing and quality control process in the industry.
Their current range includes Reva, Denton, Diamond 11 and Diamond 200 series, D300 and vintage-look Heritage speakers as well as the newer bluetooth DS-2 speakers and Vista 200 subwoofer.
Among the many glowing reviews and coveted awards Wharfedale has garnered from noteable industry critics, the DX-2 series has won 5 stars from What Hi-Fi and "Home Cinema Best Buy" while Diamond 11s have won "HiFi Chouce Recommended", "HiFi News Outstanding Product", "Home Cinema Best Buy" and "AVTech Media Awards".
Every product and process in speaker design and manufacturing is handled in-house making it the most advanced research and development program, meaning that Wharfedale are able to design exactly to their own spec without limitation - and can exact this vision to perfection.

A piece of hi-fi or AV furniture isn’t just for keeping your equipment off the floor. Much of the wide range of furniture products we offer is a design statement in its own right, and something to be shown off. From real hardwoods and wood veneers, to coloured metals and high quality glass and metal speaker stands, many furniture products can truly be an attractive prospect.
For isolating and elevating bookshelf and standmount speakers, we offer a range of speaker stands, to suit every budget and taste. The purpose of a speaker stand is primarily to elevate a speaker so that the tweeter is at ear level when considered from the listening position. This ensures that a greater integration between complex mid and high frequencies is heard. A good quality, heavy speaker stand can also offer vast improvements to bass performance as it limits unwanted resonance and decouples the speakers from the floor.
We have a range of hi-fi and AV stands available, ideal for supporting your hi-fi and AV equipment, with AV stands capable of supporting a TV or display. Just like speaker stands, a good quality hi-fi or AV stand is able to isolate your equipment from interference and resonance, and offer sonic and performance improvements. We also have a range of hi-fi and AV furniture accessories, from replacement spikes to isolate your furniture from the ground, to speaker stand filler and floor protectors.
