Diamond 220

About the Diamond 220

The Wharfedale Diamond 220 bookshelf speakers offer a refined two-way design with a 1" fabric soft-dome tweeter and a 5.1" woven Kevlar cone woofer. The speakers feature a bass reflex design with a slot-loaded port allowing near-wall placement without sacrificing bass performance. The cabinet is constructed from a combination of particleboard and MDF to minimize resonance and coloration, enhanced by internal bracing and damping materials. The crossover network is precision-tuned for smooth integration between drivers, delivering clear, natural sound with excellent midrange and transient response. Sensitivity is 86dB with a nominal impedance of 8 ohms (minimum 4.1 ohms), and recommended amplifier power ranges from 25 to 100 watts. Dimensions are approximately 12.4" H x 6.9" W x 9.8" D, with a weight of about 11.7 lbs each. The speakers come with removable grilles, bi-amping/bi-wiring capability, and a 5-year warranty. They are praised for their musicality, transparency, and value, suitable for small to medium rooms and both music and home theater use.
