## Description

Craftsmanship, Heritage, Value, and Quality Personified: Wharfedale Denton 85th Anniversary Bookshelf Loudspeakers Play with Extraordinary Naturalism, Smoothness, Bass, and Fullness No bookshelf loudspeaker in Wharfedale's lineage claims a more vaunted slot than Denton. Originally devised 85 years ago to personify the British company's focus on value and quality, the bookshelf design went on to becoming one of the most popular speakers in audio history and ultimately spawned a series of successive models based on its engineering, appearance, and aural traits. The legendary pedigree again bursts to life with the Denton 85th Anniversary Edition, a two-way bookshelf loudspeaker featuring a 6.5-inch woven Kevlar cone bass driver and one-inch soft-dome treble. Mounted on a rigid diecast chassis, the former produces rich, crisp, extraordinarily detailed midrange responsiveness marked by grand dynamics and tautly focused lows. Trust us when we tell you that you'll feel the punch and follow the bass lines. And each speaker's woven textile tweeter includes a high-flux ferrite magnet that accounts for smooth high-frequency performance and Wharfedale's signature warmth. A cutting-edge crossover results in ultra-coherent, seamless sonics that will spoil you with involving naturalism, presence, imaging, and fullness. Denton 85th Anniversary Edition expands on the beloved original by also boasting an openness normally unassociated with speakers of this size or price. Intended to provide high-end sonics without any hassle, these bass-reflex speakers will blow you away with how big they sound and how deep their soundstages reach. And tube lovers will find plenty to rave about. Denton 85th Anniversary Edition sings when paired with valve gear. We'd also be remiss if we didn't mention how gorgeous these speakers look. There's no vinyl or corner-cutting materials in sight

Review: Amazingly warm speakers!! I’m a big fan of Wharfedale now!! - I’ve had the Denton 85s since early 2022 and have been blown away by them. I liked them so much that when the wife approved the budget for a guest/gaming room set up that I bought another Wharfedale product, the discontinued 240s. The Denton 85s have a warm sound, definitely best suited for rock n roll. Vocals are very clear. The sound stage is absolutely fantastic on these as well, I feel like I’m in the concert. I did contact Wharfedale prior to purchasing asking the difference between the 85th and 80th editions, which is essentially bigger bass driver which means bigger housing in general. Back when I was buying it was a $200 difference, now it’s $400+, so not sure if it’s worth it but either choice of the 85th or 80th I imagine wouldn’t be a bad choice. These speakers have a warmth to them. I do leave the grills on when playing. There is absolutely ZERO listening fatigue. I do suggest pairing a subwoofer with them if it is your primary listening, but I suggest that for ANY system and is not a fault of the Wharfedales. Wharfedale has definitely made me a brand fan.
Review: Denton 85s look and sound great - This is my second pair; Denton 85s are very listenable, and play all kinds of music very well. I also have Elysian 1 & 2, and all Wharfedale speakers are meticulously made, and are just a pleasure to listen to.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An Excellent Speaker
*by J***H on May 19, 2021*

Upgrading my system one piece at a time. It’s a tough job with less audio stores around. You can read all the reviews, YouTube videos, and talk to online store sales staff but how do you match up electronics and feel sure about your selection. I have older class A/B amp and preamp, an early Philips CD player (actually built in Belgium) 1989. Bought new Fluance RT85, nice platter, that went ok. Then speakers.....I narrowed it down to three bookshelf speakers based on reviews. Don’t have the space for any floorstander. Started with KEF LS50 Meta. Great speaker, nice design, really wanted it to work. Lots of detail, very good sound stage, but seemed too analytical and vocals somewhat veiled. Sent em back. Next the Wharfedale Denton 85. Really liking this so far. Wonderful vocals, adequate detail and soundstage. Not to mention a really beautiful finish and almost half the price of the KEF. Got the Mahogany. So going to stay with these. Both LP’s and cd’s are very good to excellent. These speakers are revealing. Have a 47 yr old Bread LP. Wow, sounds fantastic. Going through all my Classical, Rock, folk, and jazz and having fun. After all, that’s what it should be all about. Recommended. My next stop will be B&W 706 if I feel I still need to compare. Right now though things are going well. Revealing without being analytical. Update: 7/4/21. Yep these are keepers. There are some that would argue that speakers do not need a break in period. I say they do. The Denton’s have improved significantly since my 1st review, particularly in bass response. Of course this may be somewhat subjective but I believe they have opened up a bit as well. The more time I spend with them the more I like them. Are they the perfect speaker? No, but they do satisfy my listening requirements and I tend to be fussy and I know my music collection well. So I’m a happy camper. Been Bluetooth streaming and have purchased new LP’s and cd’s. This stuff is fun. Enjoy! Update: 7/17/22. Still enjoying the Denton 85’s. Still very happy with my purchase. Saw another review here that said these speakers sound bright. Wow, this cannot be further from the truth. The vocals are neutral to warm and involving. The Denton’s draw you into the music. They can be revealing particularly with poorly recorded or remastered material. Just pair them with some quality electronics. I’m using class A/B components.
