Description

The Wharfedale Denton 85 Heritage Bookshelf Speakers are a two-way speaker in the classic bookshelf tradition, beautifully hand veneered in Mahogany by Wharfedale cabinet makers with an inset front baffle and traditional Tungsten cloth grille.

Underneath the traditional exterior, however, the Denton 85th Anniversary is bang up to date and uses a mixture of traditional and advanced technology. The bass unit features a woven Kevlar cone mounted on a rigid die-cast chassis. This combination delivers a rich, detailed bass/midrange output with superb dynamic performance. A woven textile soft dome treble unit handles high frequencies with a high-flux ferrite magnet for smooth, detailed HF extension.

These drive units combine with a highly researched crossover nearly inaudible to the listener, resulting in a coherent, seamless musical output that is both thrilling and natural in its rendition of any source material.
The Denton 85 Anniversary speakers are now available in 3 different finishes. Walnut, Mahogany, and Black.

The Wharfedale Denton exemplified these mandates, balancing fine craftsmanship, natural sound quality, and affordability inside a compact loudspeaker.
