The Wharfedale Diamond 9.1 Bookshelf Speakers (Pair) Speaker grilles Owner's manual Specifications Review: Great Value - These get five stars for value. Arrive very well packed with nothing but the speakers. Finish is excellent. A beautiful matt colour that wasn't particularly Walnut and could happily pass as dark oak. Very nice indeed. Commendably clean bass even if there isn't much of it. No bass woolliness here! Sound is a little muffled in the upper midrange, and lacks bass punch. Overall they are little bright sounding. They don't need much power to get them dancing. I didn't find myself winding the volume up and up, which you do with the best hifi, but you still want them to go loud. They are a lot of fun. I personally found them best at tracks that were simple. They definitely have their moments, but the more cluttered the track the more the speakers struggled to resolve detail. Some tracks sounded exceptional, others just muddled. And they also didn't really respond to quality recordings. I think some people would prefer a more engaging, energetic sound. Seems like I am kicking them to death here, but what on earth can you expect for this money? They are absolutely fantastic for less than the price of an average food shop. They are a great budget option and do punch above their price. I think you would have to pay double to get a noticeable improvement. They do need running in. After about 12 hours, I found them to shine just that bit brighter. Music sounded more fun and the occasional bass detail just caught you with a wow! For the generally music listener, bass-heads need not apply. For a TV or budget hifi these are winners. Highly recommended. If you are on a budget, give them a listen. Review: Budget speakers, quality performance. - Paired these with an Ampapa D1 and they are now sitting unobtrusively in my bookshelf. The speakers are excellent and the little Ampapa struggles to hit their limit. That said, they produce a perfectly listenable output even at the lowest settings, clear and crisp if a little bright but this budget setup punches well over its weight already. A fiddle with EQ settings and the introduction of a subwoofer will make it near on perfect for its setting. They are well made and I am delighted with their performance. ## Features - CLEAR AND PRECISE SOUND: The speakers offer unmatched sound reproduction at its level. - CURVED, BRACED CABINETS: Reduce enwanted cabinet vibrations. Dissipate standing waves to improve sound quality. - DRIVERS: Five-inch Kevlar mid/bass driver for full, controlled lows. One-inch textile tweeter for sparkling highs. Together, they reveal details in tracks that may have previously gone unheard. - GOLD-PLATED BI-WIREABLE BINDING POSTS: Typically found in higher-priced speakers. Ensure complete versatility in setup. Help achieve a precise and clean sound where high and low frequences blend harmoniously. - DIMENSIONS W x H x D (mm): 194 x 296 x 278 - SPECIFICATIONS: Frequency response - 50-24,000Hz; Power handling - 20-100 Watts; Nominal impedance - 6 ohms; Crossover frequency - 2.3kHz ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B002WJAQY2 | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Antenna Location | For music players | | Audio Driver Size | 11.6 Inches | | Audio Driver Type | Dynamic Driver | | Audio Output Mode | [IM] | | Best Sellers Rank | 2,254 in Electronics & Photo ( See Top 100 in Electronics & Photo ) 6 in Bookshelf Hi-Fi Speakers | | Box Contents | Remote | | Brand Name | Wharfedale | | Colour | black | | Compatible Devices | Personal Computer, Laptop, Television | | Connectivity Protocol | Bluetooth | | Control Method | Remote | | Controller Type | Remote Control | | Customer Package Type | Standard Packaging | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (1,744) | | EU Spare Part Availability Duration | 7 Years | | Enclosure Material | Kevlar, textile, wood/plastic | | Frequency Response | 24000 Hz | | Impedance | 6 Ohms | | Is Waterproof | True | | Item Dimensions D x W x H | 19.4D x 27.8W x 29.6H centimetres | | Item Weight | 23.1 Pounds | | MP3 player | No | | Maximum Speaker Output Power (in watts) | 100 Watts | | Model Name | Diamond 9.1 | | Model Number | 9.1 | | Mounting Type | Tabletop | | Network Connectivity Technology | Bluetooth | | Number Of Circuits | 10 | | Number of Audio Channels | 9.1 | | Number of Items | 2 | | Number of Power Levels | 10 | | Power Source | Corded Electric | | Series Number | 9 | | Speaker Size | 29.6 Centimetres | | Speaker Type | Bookshelf | | Specific Uses For Product | Home entertainment systems, music listening | | Subwoofer Connectivity Technology | Wired | | Tweeter Diameter | 1 Inches | | Warranty Type | Limited | | Water Resistance Level | Waterproof | | Wireless Technology Type | Bluetooth | | Woofer Driver Diameter | 5 Inches | ## Product Details - **Audio output mode:** [IM] - **Brand:** Wharfedale - **Connectivity technology:** Bluetooth - **Frequency response:** 24000 Hz - **Material:** Kevlar, textile, wood/plastic - **Model name:** Diamond 9.1 - **Mounting type:** Tabletop - **Recommended uses for product:** For music players - **Speaker maximum output power:** 100 Watts - **Speaker type:** Bookshelf ## Images ![Wharfedale Diamond 9.1 Black - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51irorvR6TL.jpg) ![Wharfedale Diamond 9.1 Black - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61OdVKVaEtL.jpg) ![Wharfedale Diamond 9.1 Black - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61zkXuqZsYL.jpg) ![Wharfedale Diamond 9.1 Black - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61ASqu9QM7L.jpg) ![Wharfedale Diamond 9.1 Black - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61FcQXC+ySL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Can these be used with an iphone** A: Not directly - these speakers require being wired to an amplifier with speaker wire/cable. If you can connect your IPhone through the amplifier then that would work - but NOT directly. Hope that helps. **Q: what is the power handling capacity** A: I've got it running off a 100w seven channel amp for a couple of years now. I've had the amp 3/4 up and no problems. **Q: I do not think they take banana plugs. Having bought some from reading other answers I now see now ay to fit them. Anyone any ideas.?KG** A: You need a small screw to remove the black plastic insert inside the connector. Look it up on YouTube did mine about 3 weeks ago worked perfectly ☺ **Q: what are the dimensions?** A: Height 300mm ; Depth 280mm ; Width 180mm at widest point (sides are eliptical) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Value *by M***! on 11 December 2025* These get five stars for value.

The speakers are excellent and the little Ampapa struggles to hit their limit. That said, they produce a perfectly listenable output even at the lowest settings, clear and crisp if a little bright but this budget setup punches well over its weight already.

They are well made and I am delighted with their performance. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ If you love music, get a pair. *by D***D on 13 December 2018* Why? I got these speakers because I need something to listen to music with and to reference mixes. I'm coming from the studio monitor boat. Most monitors are pretty forward and cruel in the mid and high mids (designed for and great for mixing) but tiring after a while and mine are not very responsive at low level for bass. I've got to mix quiet sometimes, so it's handy to still be able to hear everything clearly and not have headphones on all the time. Plus good to hear the finished product in something your average music lover might pick up. Running them off an old Technics SU-Z15 and they sound really sweet. Not bi-amped but nice to have the option The clarity and detail in the high end is impressive, but somehow (maybe the soft tweeter and baffling behind) they've managed to keep the extreme tops SO smooth. You get all that lush high end without your ears getting tired, it's really great, a pleasure to work with and to listen to most types of music on. Especially if you keep the covers off. They have that air to them which is really flattering to most kinds of music. Exceptions are anything specifically mixed for speakers tailored for decent bass response. Most stuff I listen to with these speakers sounds good. I wouldn't say the mids are cut, they are there and well balanced but they sit back so it's not like the vocals are down your ear. Horns sound amazing, it's kind of weird. Strings airy. Vocals present. Hip hop fat. Classical dynamic. Acoustic mellow. Very flattering speakers without that over the top Bose scoop. You'll hear a good version of what the artist/producer/mixer intended you to hear. Some stuff just sounds awesome on these, you'll listen to some songs and be blown away. Best bit: These speakers deliver a pretty balanced sound whether you have them quiet or loud. Much more than other speakers I've used, probably due to light kevlar cone, doesn't take much energy to get it going and to get the low frequencies coming through. Was a bit concerned that they may have a little 80hz kick or something to give them the impression of low end, but they don't. They reproduce the sound they should for their size, nothing more, nothing less. Great pair of speakers for the money. I have them on thin isolation pads sitting at ear height above my desk, tweeters pointing just around my ears. Stereo imaging is great. Not sure how they'd fill a big room but I can imagine they'd pack a bit of punch with a sub or something, I have them in quite a treated room and am sitting fairly close to them. Good job Wharfedale! For £60 a speaker you can't go wrong. I think you'll like them even if you're used to higher end stuff, they're friendly. Right now listening to Deacon Blues by Steely Dan, the attack on everything is sweet, maybe a teeny tiny bit soft in the mids but it's fine, you can hear it and it sounds good. Very well packaged too. Good quality, in fact pretty perfect build quality. Again amazing for £120...! ## Frequently Bought Together - Wharfedale Diamond 9.1 Black - electrosmart 5m Quality 2 x 2.5mm Loud Speaker Cable - Multi-Strand 444 (2x 222 Strand) - Outside Dimensions of Cable: 9.1mm x 4.2mm - 14 AWG - 30A Max - Ideal for Car Audio & Home HiFi - Fisual Easy Fix Banana Plugs - 4 Pack --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.it/products/48159290-wharfedale-diamond-9-1-black](https://www.desertcart.it/products/48159290-wharfedale-diamond-9-1-black) --- *Product available on Desertcart Italy* *Store origin: IT* *Last updated: 2026-05-11*
