Show full description »

The Diamond 8 series is the result of over three years intensive research and development into virtually every aspect of acoustic design.

Firstly, the tweeter in all models is a 25mm textile dome, ferrofluid cooled unit powered with an ultra-strong neodymium magnet for the fastest, most accurate response we have ever achieved.

Next, the woofer cone is made from a bi-directional KEVLAR weave – self-damping in nature, reducing resonant frequencies to virtually negligible levels. The impetus for rapid movement here, is a dual layer, vented voice coil which transmits the signal information with the highest levels of accuracy. The cone is mounted on a nitrile rubber ‘Flexaural surround rim’. A profiled phase plug improves the off-axis performance to project an excellent stereo image across a wide listening area.

The Diamond 8 family has a heritage extending over twenty years and throughout has been Britain’s best-selling loudspeaker. This pattern has been repeated around the world with 5 star reviews and accolades in every country in which it has been available. As such the Diamond 8 series represents a de facto standard for sound quality and balance in a tremendous number of home stereo and A/V systems. The consistency and quality of these speaker systems across a wide variety of source materials, from Jazz to Rock, Classical, to Movie Sound Track and effects, gives a tried and proven basis for a monitor to give the professional recording and post production industry a superb reference for the creation and mixing of program material for the real world.

Wharfedale Diamond 8.2 Pro Active Monitors (Pair) Reviews

8/10

Diamond 8.2

— georgej October 6, 2007

I second what Christian, the other reviewer, said. These monitors are cheap but sound expensive! They have a very neutral response graph and will not colour your sound, perfect for critical listening and as reference monitors. The bass response is pretty decent as well consider the driver size.

I have used all three input connections including a line out straight from my laptop to the phono inputs and they are virtually silent when not in use (as John Cage says 'There is no such thing as silence')

I have never turned the volume up past half way on the speaker amp and even at that volume they are too loud, so plenty of scope there. The off axis resonance is noticeable but once you are in the 'sweet spot' these monitors have a very clear and informative sound.

Its a shame they are no longer available as I would buy three more for a surround setup.... oh well ebay here I come.

Peace,
George

The best purchase I have ever made! These speakers have a crystal clear sound and great range. The quality of my recordings have got better and better since I bought these speakers.
The jack input and xlr in one is a great idea although you can use phono connections if you prefer. Overall these speakers are excellent value for money!

Price Matching

Dolphin Music brings you the best music gear at the best price. We are committed to superior customer service and have extensive product knowledge. However, in today’s market we may not always be aware of all the price fluctuations of the products we sell. So, we offer competitive price matching.

Please fill in the following form to request a price match.

What prices we will match?

We will compare prices for new, direct from manufacturer items, excluding any add-ons, options, or other special features which may affect price.

The item must be new and must be the exact same make and model (ie, the same size, version, etc.).

Since our postage charges are lower than most of the shops, the comparison price must be a "delivered cost" to the consumer.

If we are unable to verify the previous condition, we will notify you that we require additional information to verify the Price Match request. Our goal is to make this policy simple and hassle-free. We are committed to responding to your requests quickly.

The price you have found must be the Internet Retailer's regular, advertised price for a current and available item. The price you found cannot be a closeout, discontinued, blemished, year-end, inventory reduction, or any other type of advertised sale price.

Price Matching requests may not be combined with any other promotional discounts, specials or other price incentives.

Prices and price sources you have found which do not meet the above criteria or in which incomplete or inaccurate information is provided to us, will not be approved for our Price Match.
