Verkeert in nieuwstaat, retour gekomen van een klant en nu scherp geprijsd! De wharfedale diamond 12.4I is een krachtige vloerstaande luidspreker die uitblinkt in dynamiek en detail. Met zijn 2,5-weg
At €749, this is fair to slightly strong for a pair of Diamond 12.4i floorstanders, landing right around the current active-used cluster rather than undercutting it; similar listings are sitting at about €749, and new pricing is roughly €1,198–€1,498, so this is a meaningful discount without being a steal. That makes it a sensible buy if the speakers are clean, complete, and local pickup saves you hassle.
The 12.4i is a well-liked 2.5-way design with a roomy, easygoing presentation, solid bass reach, and enough sensitivity to work with a broad range of amps. It’s the kind of speaker that rewards good placement and gives you a lot of scale for the money, so the main upside here is value per cubic meter of sound. At this price, I’d mainly want to confirm both cabinets are cosmetically tidy, drivers are original, and grilles/spikes are included.

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.
