Angeboten wird „3.1 Set: 2x Diamond 240 + Diamond 220C + WH-D10“ von Wharfedale als Gebrauchtgerät aus der Kategorie „Standlautsprecher“ bei audio-markt.de - dem Online-Marktplatz für High-End. Das Inserat mit der Nummer 3405583143 endet am 06.10.2026 um 19:47 Uhr.
€650 is far above the typical used level for this centre speaker and reads as ambitious to the point of overpriced. Recent used listings cluster around €125–€149 for a standalone 220C, with even full Diamond 3.1 sets showing around €650 total, so this asking price is in the wrong postcode unless there’s a major bundle or exceptional provenance included.
That said, the 220C is a well-liked match for the Diamond range: it’s voiced for clear dialogue, has a relatively efficient center-channel design, and is a sensible buy if you’re building a coherent Wharfedale home theater front stage. At €650, I’d only consider it if it comes as part of a full matching set with stands, packaging, and genuinely excellent cosmetic condition; otherwise, the upside here is the speaker itself, but the price needs to be much closer to the usual used market.
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.
