Wharfedale Denton 85th Anniversary Bookshelf-Speaker
PRODUCT INFORMATION
The Denton 85th Anniversary is a two-way loudspeaker in a classic bookshelf design, hand-veneered in mahogany by Wharfedale cabinet makers and featuring a recessed baffle and traditional tungsten grille.
However, beneath the traditional exterior, the Denton 85th Anniversary is state-of-the-art, utilizing a mix of classic and modern technology. The woofer features the innovative Wharfedale Kevlar woven cone mounted on a rigid die-cast chassis. This combination ensures a rich, detailed low/mid range with excellent dynamics. The high frequencies are transmitted by a woven textile soft dome tweeter with high flux ferrite magnets, designed for smooth, detailed extension of the high frequency range.
These drive units are combined by a precisely developed crossover that is almost inaudible to the listener. The result is coherent, seamless music reproduction that reproduces any source material excitingly and naturally.
The most popular speaker
Wharfedale is proud to present this 85th Anniversary Edition of one of the brand's most famous and popular speakers - the Denton. Gilbert Briggs, who founded Wharfedale in 1932, built the company into one of the world's best-known loudspeaker brands by focusing on quality and value for money.
The Wharfedale Denton embodied these two principles, combining fine craftsmanship, natural sound quality and value for money in a compact speaker that has been purchased by millions around the world.
Classic bookshelf tradition
Denton 85th Anniversary is a two-way speaker in the classic bookshelf tradition, beautifully hand-veneered in mahogany and featuring an inset front baffle and traditional tungsten fabric grille.
However, beneath the traditional exterior, the Denton 85th Anniversary is absolutely state-of-the-art, utilizing a mix of traditional and advanced technology. The bass unit features Wharfedale's innovative woven Kevlar cone mounted on a sturdy die-cast chassis. This combination delivers rich, detailed bass/midrange reproduction with excellent dynamic performance. High frequencies are handled by a woven textile soft-dome tweeter unit with a high-flux ferrite magnet, designed for smooth, detailed HF extension.
Superior music playback
The drive units are combined by a sophisticated crossover network that is almost inaudible to the listener. The result is coherent, seamless music reproduction that is both immersive and natural in its reproduction of any source material.
The original Denton was known for its warm, rich and natural sound character. The 85th Anniversary Edition maintains that character but gives it an open, detailed performance that will entice you to re-explore your entire music collection. Truly a modern classic!
Back in black
Now also available in a new, modern Black Oak finish, the Wharfedale Denton 85th Anniversary represents one of the most iconic models in the long history of Wharfedale loudspeakers. A masterpiece of Wharfedale's pioneering research in the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s.
