About the Jade 5
The Jade 5 is Wharfedale's flagship floorstanding speaker, engineered for exceptional music reproduction. It uses a 1-inch (25mm) aluminium dome tweeter, a 3-inch (75mm) aluminium/pulp composite midrange cone, and dual 6.5-inch (165mm) Acufibre bass cones. The cabinet is constructed from Crystalam, a laminated wood/composite material designed to minimize panel resonance and acoustic leakage. The bass loading is aperiodic, using a resistive acoustic filter instead of a traditional port, which helps reduce room interaction and bass boom. The crossover is phase-linear, ensuring smooth transitions between drivers. The Jade 5 is praised for its powerful, controlled bass, detailed and airy midrange, and clear, non-fatiguing treble. It is relatively easy to place in a room and is available in several high-quality finishes.
