I bought a pair of these for Christmas 2022 for $500. Well worth it. I would call them a steal at that price. I enjoy them very much. Worth every penny 👍
I have had these speakers for 3 years now and I must say they are very, very good. I bought them second hand in perfect condition in a reputable hifi store here in the Netherlands.
I connected the speakers to a Sony STR-DN1080, in Bi-amp mode. Speaker cables used are OFC 4x2.5mm2 (because Bi-amp), length 250 centimeters. They play beautifully. And yes, I am waiting for the Sony STR-AZ5000ES to replace my current Sony ;-).
In stereo, the speakers don't need a subwoofer, but I did connect two Wharfedale WH-D10 for movies. That extra kick during explosions or other scenes give just a little more depth.
Center is a Wharfedale Diamond 220C and surround Wharfedale Diamond 225 bookshelf speakers with WH-ST1 stands. Yes, old school setup.
There may be much better speakers out there but for the sound and the money you can hardly find anything better. 😀
Keep up with the reviews my friend. It is always good to hear a "from the heart" opinion on something as subjective as speakers.
I got wharfdale diamond 225 bookshelf speakers as a front and diamond 220c centre channel and diamond 220 bookshelf as surround speakers, which AV Receiver will be good match for this setup (from Marantz, Sony receivers) or should I pair this emotiva basx amp. Please suggest. Thx
thank you for your wonderful review, could you please compare Diamond 225 and Dynaudio emit M20 and also do a review of Emit M20.
+Aves Bilal I would if I can get them for sample, thank you.
thanks , which speaker better, svs or diamond 240
Whats ur opinion to harmony audio 606se? Appreciate the answer
How do the Aperion Super Tweeters work with the Diamond 240's low impedance (it can drop to 3 ohms at times)? I know you've reviewed the Aperion's on the 220 series but they are 8 ohms
Could you do a review of Wharfedale Diamond 11.5s
Hello Tharbamar.I audit wfs 240 in a store and was perfect for my taste.The room i want to put them is about 7m.long and 5m. wide(the dimensions of the room was wrong,so i corrected it). So i think maybe i choose the wfs 250s.But i cannot audit the 250s. You think that 240s are adequate for such large room?
In a test they said that wfs 250s highs has slight dominance over the diameter and that the mids are not so rich.Have you any experience from friends of yours about the sound signature of wfs 250s?
Very good "balanced" review of these domestic HiFi speakers. I'm familiar with the 240's and I would say your assessment is pretty much bang on.
Many thanks 👍
If you have 240's,are you happy with them?I have 225's one year (very very happy!!) and thinking buy 240's for a much bigger room.Some say that 230's are better than 240's (that they are more like 225's).What is your opinion?
@@andreassouth1523 230s are a big step up from the 225s, would love a set of 240s but they are almost twice the price of what the 230s were.
@@SuperRustic1 Thanks for your respond
Very nice review, this is what Wharfedale is all about....i think the new 11 series will set a new standard and keep all the things we love about the Diamonds.....
Would you choose the Wharfedale 240 over the Elec Uni-Uf5 tower.
I audit wf240 in a store for an hour.They have very relaxing sound with strong bass and sweet mids and highs. No ear and brain fatigue like other speakers.Also they have top quality of construction.Elac has 5-1/4" aluminum cone woofers and wf 240 has 6.5 inch kevlar woofer,meaning more heavy bass response (if tou like heavy bass like me).You must audit both.I have wf225 for 2 years,very very happy.
Brother! what is the price of the speakers ?
Q acoustics 3050 or these?
The Wharfedale Diamond 240 run about $999/pr. I have the Diamond 9.6 and am very pleased, but I like a smooth sound.
I've got two Diamond 9.5s for front channels and two 9.4s for my surrounds. Truly phenomenal for the price...bass goes down to 30hz on the 9.5s without any distortion!
what is better MONITOR AUDIO Bronze 6 OR wharfedale diamond 240
Sorry I have no experience with Bronze 6.
After all you’ve heard up to now in 2024, what is your suggestion for best floor standing speaker pair under $600? Would it be these 240s because they are available for $599. Thanks!
To be honest I do not have any favorite towers under 600 but 599 for 240 seems pretty good deal, thanks
@@Tharbamar thanks. Any suggestions for next price category in that case?
@@Tharbamarhi...
Diamond 159
Diamond 240
Diamond 11.5
All above same spec?
Which one is better?
8 inches woofer is good?
TIA 🙏
I didn't think this range could get any better ... Then I auditioned the Wharfedale Diamond 11.5 Speakers ... WOW!
They venture into audiophile territory 👍
How do the 11.5's perform with heavy metal? It seems these Diamond 240's aren't a perfect match, bass wise at least.
In your opinion 11.5 have better bass response from 240s or 250s (more heavy and fast)? What about mids,are like 240s?
@@andreassouth1523
Yes, absolutely. You need a decent amp and good source components. The 11.5's are true audiophile speakers incognito.
@@JPWinters
Yes ... Two 8" bass drivers with huge magnets and cool driver tech does the job. They weigh 34kg each! The 11.5's are more substantial 👍
@@JPWinters You mean less bass or much bass?
Would you reccomend them for Surround setup?
Yes but you might want a more lively speakers for that purpose.
Its difficult.. I want good music AND good surround in a speaker setup. is that possible? Im looking for a 5.1 Setup. :s
better than Klipsch rp-280f?
Very different speakers, it will be all base on your taste.
how does the sound differ? I like the Wharfedale's but I'm building a surround sound and am not into the looks of the Wharfedale center channel.
Let's hear the damn things !!!
What's the different compare with 230? Is it worth to go 240? I am about to get 230 but heard someone said tonal balance is not that good.
230 are better,they sound more tight and coherent!
It's a nice pair of speakers, but i prefer speakers with a metaltweeter of some sort, they're more brilliant.
And when i listen to music where they hit a hi-hat drum, i want it to sound like a hi-hat and not like someone banging on the lid of a cookingpot.
I really don't lke softdome tweeters, they tend to sound very dull on higher notes.
This is the 250 not the 240
I cannot subscribe to the statement that a 50watt amp is sufficient. I own the Diamond 240 and my Yamaha RX V 1600 receiver (7x120 watts 8 ohms) struggled with them. So I had to upgrade with a power amp (Proton AP2080) before the speakers came alive. But once I did that... WHOA!!
AV receivers are made for movies. A 50 watts / 8 ohms output class A stereo amp is enough to drive these speakers. For Music, your better buy a 2 channels amp.
Disregard power claims on a receiver. You'll get MUCH more power from NAD C316bee rated as 40w than on that yamaha rated 120w and I mean MUCH more. Been there, done that, moved AVR to my bedroom - deemed as unworthy of anything more.
How are the bass response of 240's in your opinion (strong,deep,fast)? Are you satisfied with the sound?
I agree too! My observations are quite similar. Wharfedale speakers (being on warmer side) beg for more (raw) power to extract more juice out of them. Got a pair of Wharfedale 230 and connected them to my Yamaha Aventage RX-A730. Fed them 90W+90W x 2 with biamping and the resulting sound was engaging and amazing both. SO yeah, the more power, the better the sound is.
