Een mooi paar wharfedale ritz diamond luidsprekers welke bekend staan om hun zeer goede prijs - kwaliteit verhouding. De ritz diamond serie is een speciale uitvoering van de diamond. Deze tweeweg spea
This looks like a fair ask, leaning slightly good if the pair is complete and working properly. €80 sits right in line with the low end of current used Ritz Diamond pricing, with recent examples around €80–€99 and a clean private listing at €89, so this is not a bargain-bin steal but it is comfortably sane money.
That makes it a sensible buy for someone after an affordable vintage Wharfedale bookshelf pair with the usual easygoing, listenable Diamond-series balance. The upside is that these tend to give a lot of musical satisfaction for modest outlay, especially if the cabinets, grilles, and drivers are original and intact. At this price, just confirm both speakers play cleanly, the woofer surrounds are healthy, and no terminals or drivers have been tinkered with; if it’s a tidy, unmodified pair, it’s an easy recommendation.

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.
