## Description

Product description Speaker legends don't get much bigger than the Wharfedale Diamond 9.0. The original small hi-fi speaker It's hard to believe that the original Wharfedale Diamond is now past its thirtieth birthday. All those decades ago, it was the Diamond speaker that proved, for the first time, that excellent quality sound could be achieved from a small, budget speaker. Since then there have been dozens of imitators, but the Diamonds remain amongst the best available. Solid construction The cabinet isn't just compact, it's also very solid. This combination gives the Diamonds an extremely accurate sound quality as the cabinet doesn't flex or vibrate. Equally impressive are the drive units. A soft dome tweeter gives the clarity and smoothness of sound you'd expect from a more expensive speaker, while the woofer cone uses a carbon fibre type weave to offer extremely taut and responsive bass. Surprisingly powerful With a front port, these bass reflex speakers are punchier than you might expect and in no way could they ever be described as tinny. Over all, they may be small but the sound is grown-up, with excellent staging, realism and surprisingly powerful. Hi-fi connections It's not just the major aspects of the design that Wharfedale have got right, it's the details, too. Proper 4mm banana sockets will accept thick cable and offer the best type of connection. Threaded sockets at the rear make for secure and easy bracket attachment Legal Disclaimer Brand New Wharfedale 9.0 Diamond Hifi Speakers

Review: Fantastic sound if setup correctly! - These speakers sound absolutely fantastic and are unbeatable for the price.. I'm using these Diamonds as a desktop solution for my PC and they are mainly used for listening to Tidal/Deezer/Spotify/Radio and of course Youtube and gaming. Connected to a Fosi tube Power amp and Dragonfly USB DAC. I used good quality (but not expensive) cables and speaker wire to ensure a clean transmission free from interference. I noticed straight away after setup that when placed directly on a desk, they sounded boomy and unbalaced with most of the bass getting transfered to my wooden desk... not good.. To sort this out I used 4 large blobs of Blu Tack and stood the speakers on Granite place mats (ghetto I know!) This simple change transformed the sound, stopped the rumble and brought out all the detail these little speakers are capable of. If not a pack of the foam isolation pads sold here on desertcart would also work very well with the advantage of a slight tilt towards your ears. They go plenty loud without distorting and while they are not a bassy speaker the low end is definately there and is very tight and deep poviding you have set them up correctly. Voices and dialogue sound crisp and clear making them suitable for TV use etc No complaints from me and as long as you take the time to set them up properly and with a good quality source I have no doubt they will provide detailed, warm high quality audio for many years to come. Please be aware if you just buy them and plonk them onto a bookshelf or table without any isolation they will no doubt sound terrible. If however you take some care these are the biggest speaker bargain available on desertcart IMO!
Review: In a word: 'Perfect'. - I simply cannot fault these speakers. I'd previously owned a pair of Edifier 1700BTs but don't remember them being so good, and now having compared these I can attest the difference is night and day. These 9s have beautiful mids and crystal clear highs and are heavenly, the sound envelopes you and you don't miss out on any of the details and nuances which is EXACTLY what I'd hoped when listening to music. I do have these paired with a Wharfedale SW150 subwoofer, which contributes to a beautiful, warm ass but the standalone bass on the 9s is fine (though I'm not an audiophile). I have these connected to a Fosi BT30D 2.1 Channel Amplifier (incidentally, also a stunning bit of kit). (These are all connected to my fairly new-build PC, with the amp connected to the motherboard's single green 3.5mm audio jack with a RCA-to-3.5mm Y-Splitter lead. I'm waiting on some speaker isolation pads to complete the setup, that's all.) Total outlay (these Diamond 9s, SW150 Subwoofer, Fosi Amp, RCA+banana leads and forthcoming pads) was £337.90, which I feel is *VERY* fair for good-quality robust sound, which should last for many, many years. It's astonishing to me that these Diamond 9s are priced as low as they are, they are a straight-up steal (but I do feel the other components are equally important due to their high quality). Now considering migrating my home theatre system from a Logitech to a Wharfedale system based on both the sub and 9s that I'm currently using here, they're that impressive. Overall, very grateful to have found a sweet, simple, graceful, but powerful setup. (Now listening to 'Jump' by Van Halen, perfect 😍

## Questions & Answers

**Q: The Impedance is 6 ohm. Can low cost amp like Cambridge A1 drive these speakers?**
A: YES as a retired electrical engineer  as long as you dont ramp up the volume too much the amp is a low powered amp and it could do MORE damage than a more powerful amp .my advice would be purchase a Denon AV amp i know that they are expensive but well worth it and they will take a multitude of speakers the diamonds are a superb speaker and despite the cost they have not skimped on quality i have paid a lot more for speakers .infact i bought a pair of mark 5 diamonds many years ago and they were well over £100 back then and did not sound like the 9  if you need to run more than one pair then you would have to wire in series not parallel because if you join two 8 ohms speakers  in parallel  you will get 4 ohms whereas if you wire them in series you will get you will get 16 ohms .if you amp can take between 4 and 16 ohms and you are running say 2 pairs on one chanel  i am not sure if the amp has two channels so that you could run 4 speakers simultaneously paralel  without any problems if it has 4 speaker ports then you could run  2 pairs of the diamons without problems .the complications is where people have run 2 pairs of speakers of just one chanel and wired them up incorrecly in parallel then they wonder why their amp has blown up taking out the speaker too .so please check the ohms on your amp and stick to one pair per channel you should have no problems.

**Q: can someone gve me the exact dimensions of these speakers?**
A: Hi,They are 235mm high,145 mm wide and 165 mm deep. Hope this helps.

**Q: Suggestions for amplifiers to connect audio technica lp60 and wharfedale diamond 9.0s please?**
A: I reccomend a lowish end pioneer amp bout 50 watts per channel doesent have to be pioneer but i found pioneer superia sound

**Q: does anyone know how to connect these speakers to an audio technica lp120 record player? I don't understand how to connect them**
A: If you're using passive speakers you connect the LP120 via an amp. If you're speakers are powered, connect the red and white RCA sockets on the turntable to the corresponding sockets on the speakers using an RCA cable.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ they are pretty small, more than you can expect from the ...
*by A***D on 15 January 2016*

I have read many positive comments on these bookshelf speakers. The construction is very solid, they are pretty small, more than you can expect from the photo (without any dimensional reference). The quality is above average for the category. Middle tones and mid-bass are very clear and analytical, quite surprising for this category (five stars). But the high frequency end is not at the same level. The tweeter is a bit disappointing not as crystal clear as the rest and the impression is that high frequency sounds (>4000 Hz) are -3 dB under level compared with the rest of the band (I would give 3 stars to the tweeter, so overall 4 stars). I have compared them with my 30-year old KEF 103.2 reference speakers, and of course they have another dimension (22 l and 200 mm woofer), and category, but the crystal clear high ends of KEF (T33) tweeter is another planet. Overall, in these Wharfedales the sound is clean and with no colors so it does not make tired your ears. The anterior hole of the bass-reflex is useful for a bookshelf or wall positioning, and not may speakers of these categories allow this. This was one of the reasons I chose these speakers.
