Verkaufe hier ein Paar der aktuellen Wharfedale Diamond 12.1i Regallautsprecher die zum testen 1 Woche angeschlossen waren. Die Lautsprecher sind dementsprechend in einem absolut neuwertigen Zustand mit keinerlei Gebrauchsspuren. Die Lautsprecher haben den Wharfedale typischen Klang mit einer angenehmen langzeittauglichen Hochtonwiedergabe und tendieren eher zu einem warmen Klang. Mir persönlich gefallen die etwas teureren Denton 80 noch ein klein wenig mehr von der Abstimmung, (reine Geschmackssache), daher verkaufe ich die 12.1i hier.
Der Verkauf erfolgt inkl. Rechnung von 07/2026 und mit Originalverpackung.
Versicherter Versand in der OVP wie vom Hersteller verpackt wäre möglich.
Mit freundlichen Grüßen
F. Wirtz
Against the recent used EUR comp set, €333 is a bit above the upper end of the current range: the median sits at €276, with the 75th percentile at €301, so this one reads as ambitious rather than fair. It’s not wildly out of line, but it’s asking premium money in a market where similar pairs have been changing hands lower.
That said, the 12.1i is a very solid bookshelf with the usual Wharfedale strengths: smooth, easy listening, good tonal balance, and enough scale to work well in real rooms without sounding aggressive. If the cabinets and drivers are genuinely excellent and it includes original packaging or grilles, it can still be a worthwhile buy for someone who values condition and convenience over chasing the lowest possible price.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Wharfedale traces its roots to 1932, when Gilbert Briggs, a music enthusiast and audio pioneer, crafted his first loudspeaker in the cellar of his home in Ilkley, Yorkshire, England. Named after the scenic Wharfedale valley along the River Wharfe, the company quickly gained traction among radio enthusiasts, winning early competitions and expanding to a factory near Bradford by 1933. Sold to the Rank Organisation in 1958, with Briggs managing until 1965, Wharfedale evolved from wartime subcontracting to postwar dominance in high-fidelity audio, blending British engineering heritage with relentless innovation.
The brand remains synonymous with loudspeakers, pioneering designs like the roll surround cone in the late 1950s, ceramic magnets in 1962, and the acoustic suspension system in the 1960s for deeper bass in compact cabinets. Iconic models such as the Linton, Denton, and enduring Diamond series—launched in 1981—define its core. While it briefly ventured into amplifiers, receivers, turntables, tuners, and even televisions or DVD players until 2008, Wharfedale now focuses exclusively on audio equipment under the International Audio Group.
Wharfedale occupies a solid mid-tier position in the hi-fi market, celebrated for delivering exceptional value, musicality, and build quality that punches above its price point. Far from high-end esoterica or vintage collector bait, it appeals to discerning buyers seeking reliable, globally recognized performance without boutique premiums, its classics like the Diamonds remaining staples for generations of audiophiles.
