Description

The Wharfedale Super Denton 3-Way Bookshelf Speakers (Pair) are part of the heritage series. They follow on from the success of the Linton loudspeakers, which sparked a trend in retro-styled hi-fi and speakers. With a compact footprint, the Super Denton improves upon its historic predecessors with a true three-way driver design, bringing these heritage speakers up to date.

More Than a Reintroduction

The original Denton was compact in size, popularising the concept of โ€˜bookshelfโ€™ speakers when hi-fi speakers were usually bigger boxes. Most Denton iterations were two-way designs, combining a mid/bass driver with a treble unit, and the same is true of the two existing 21st-century models.

However, in 1971, Wharfedale launched the Denton 3, sporting a three-way driver configuration with separate bass, midrange, and treble units. In doing so, Wharfedale created the smallest three-way speaker on the market, delivering the performance of much larger speaker systems.

Wharfedale Tradition

The Wharfedale Super Denton portrays an authentic legacy. Traditional, simple, and beautiful yet highly evolved, it has a thoroughly modern design that is bang up to date. It utilizes a mixture of traditional and advanced technology for optimum performance while staying true to the legacy of the classic Wharfedale traditionโ€”beautifully hand-veneered with an inset front baffle and traditional cloth grille.

Compact Speaker with Three-way Design

Industrial design and cabinet engineering required incredible effort to support such a complex array in a small, small-footprint cabinet. Measuring 360 x 246 x 275mm, the Super Denton is similar in size to the Denton 3. This makes it one of the worldโ€™s smallest three-way hi-fi speakers, just like the Denton 3 over 50 years ago.

The midrange and treble units are offset from the centre, which helps maintain the speakerโ€™s compact stature and scatter reflections from the cabinet edges.

Cabinet Construction

The Wharfedale Super Denton 3-Way Bookshelf Speakers (Pair) cabinet features critically placed bracing and internal acoustic damping using layers of long-hair fibre. The midrange and treble units have their own rear enclosures, ensuring each driver produces focused and accurate sound. The cabinet uses a combination of woods to scatter panel resonances rather than having a single, audibly apparent resonant frequency.

Technical Specifications

  • Bass driver: 6.5-inch bass driver for frequencies down to 40Hz
  • Midrange driver: 2-inch midrange driver inspired by the Evo4 range
  • Tweeter: 1-inch soft dome tweeter
  • Nominal impedance: 6 Ohms
  • Frequency response: 52Hz โ€“ 20kHz
  • Dimensions: 360 x 246 x 275mm

Summary of Wharfedale Super Denton 3-Way Bookshelf Speakers (Pair)

The Wharfedale Super Denton 3-Way Bookshelf Speakers (Pair) are supplied in matched, mirror-imaged pairs. With one speaker optimised for the left channel and the other for the right, accurate stereo imaging within a deep, broad soundstage is assured when the speakers are sited appropriately.

As with all models in the Heritage series, the new Super Denton cabinet is wrapped with hand-matched wood veneers for a furniture-grade finish befitting any living environment โ€“ classic or modern.

Advanced Bass Drivers

With more advanced drivers on the Wharfedale Super Denton 3-Way Bookshelf Speakers (Pair) than any previous model, experience the wide frequency range and immersive dynamics capable of a compact 3-way speaker. The premium cast chassis 6.5-inch (165mm) bass unit is tuned to the cabinet for bass extension down to 40Hz.

This driver handles bass and lower-midrange frequencies with engaging definition and expression, bringing instruments and voices to life.

Independent Midrange Driver

The midrange unit is based on a 2-inch (50mm) dome design โ€“ inspired by Wharfedaleโ€™s award-winning EVO4 project. This driver delivers upper-midrange and lower-treble frequencies with aplomb. It provides the ideal transition from the fundamental tones from the bass unit to the harmonic overtones higher in frequency. Further, the wide dispersion of this dome diaphragm is responsible for the clarity and finesse that brings the musical performance alive.

Soft Dome Tweeter

Sonic detail and air at high frequencies come via a new 1-inch (25mm) soft dome treble unit that inherits design traits from the revered Wharfedale DOVEDALE model, including the ceramic motor system and rear chamber. This chamber helps reduce the resonant frequency for a more natural and seamless transition between the drive units.

Three-way Driver Design

The 3-way design uses three drivers for smooth integration. A highly researched crossover network features air-core coils and polypropylene capacitors in the midrange and treble circuits for distortion-free performance.

The result is a musical output that suits all genres of music and sources, whether analogue or digital. You can rest assured that Super Denton will delight and satisfy listeners with musical entertainment for years.
