| Content | In the early 1980s, Wharfedale created the blueprint for modern ‘budget’ hi-fi speakers. Almost four decades on, Wharfedale again redefines the low-cost, high-performance speaker concept with the all-new range, the D300 Series.
Running concurrently with the existing Diamond 11 Series, attaining even lower price points, the D300 series has modishly styled enclosures incorporate many similar technologies, re-designed and engineered specifically for this new range. The drive units and bass reflex system are especially noteworthy – no other speaker range delivers such high specifications at such low prices.

| Magnat Monitor Supreme 802 Three Way Street Speakers Black
The Monitor Supreme 802 is the smallest floor-standing speaker in the range and offers everything we expected from the Supreme name: A compact MDF construction, precise guides and a simple design with a visually offset aperture.
The speaker, which is available in two high quality wood tones, is equipped with a 170 mm bass speaker and a 170 mm midrange speaker, with specially coated cones, which offer a very high level of dynamics in the bass category and good accuracy throughout frequency range. The 25 mm coated fabric canopy with the new tweeter flange also ensures significantly enhanced dispersion properties.
THE SERIES HAS SIGNIFICANT BENEFITS FROM THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE NEW TWEETER
All speakers are fine-tuned using the Klippel laser measurement system and are equipped with durable metal baskets and ultra-strong magnetic drivers. The woofers use a specially coated cellulose cone, which results in a significant reduction of some vibrations while reducing weight. The aim of this is to perfect the accuracy of music reproduction and achieve maximum dynamics. The floorstanding speakers in the series and the 202 feature a newly developed 25mm dome for the treble. The fabric dome, which is driven by a ferrite magnet, ensures a balanced reproduction throughout the relevant frequency range. The newly designed tweeter flange also ensures the production of a more homogeneous treble. Due to their smaller size, the 102 and the center speaker of this series are equipped with a somewhat smaller, but very high-resolution 13 mm dome.
THE LEVEL OF QUALITY IS APPEARABLE IN ALL THE SPEAKERS IN THE SERIES
The high quality crossovers used in this series are responsible for distributing the music signals to the respective speakers. These crossovers, which have an octave slope of up to 18 dB as well as phase correction, perform their tasks perfectly. The housings themselves, which are slightly tapered backwards, are a real visual and technical feature. These are made of durable MDF and have minimal tuning. Monitor Supreme speakers have an attractive black aperture and are available in two high quality wood shades (Black or Mocha). Large floor speakers are fitted with rubber or metal tips to prevent ground coordination. Solid, gold-plated screw terminals on the back of the speakers ensure a perfect connection to an amplifier - with the sole exception of the Monitor Supreme 102 due to the limited space available on the ultra-compact shelf speaker.

The largest speaker in the 600 Series. This floorstander is ideal for audiophile stereo and home theatre applications in larger rooms, delivering serious performance and amazing value.
The 683 S2 features a Decoupled Double Dome tweeter - technology evolved from Bowers & Wilkins CM10 speaker. The double dome design uses an extremely thin aluminium dome for lightness, surrounded by a thicker aluminium ring for rigidity. The result is a far more precise treble performance. And while the tweeter looks like it's part of the main speaker, it's physically separated in its own gel-filled cavity, so performance isn't hit by unwanted resonances or vibrations, for a more natural, spacious sound.
Serious and accurate bass performance is equally vital to such a room-filling speaker. That's why the 683 S2 features a new bass driver construction method, using a similar method of bracing to the tweeter with twin layers of aluminium. The richer, distortion-free bass response is sumptuous.
As well as new bass driver construction techniques and a new tweeter, brought in from Bower & Wilkins high-end series, the 683 S2 also boasts an FST Kevlar midrange driver. Serious technology, serious performance, but seriously affordable for a speaker of this calibre.
