History in The Making

Gilbert Briggs, who founded Wharfedale in 1932, turned the company into one of the most famous loudspeaker manufacturers in the world by concentrating on quality and value for money. The Wharfedale Denton exemplified these two edicts. Balancing fine craftsmanship, natural sound quality and affordability inside a compact loudspeaker that was bought in its millions right across the globe.

The original Denton went on to father other models based on its highly popular formula, the Denton 3 being the last of the line… …until now!

Like classic rock, vinyl records and valve amplification, sometimes you get it right the first time ‘round. And so Wharfedale proudly introduce the Denton 85th Anniversary Edition two-way bookshelf loudspeaker, a re-imagining of one of our most famous and popular loudspeakers to date. A mixture of traditional and advanced technologies offer warm, rich and natural characteristics while delivering further detail and dynamics. And the sound? Well, it’s the way it was then combined with what you like now. This is a veritable modern classic.

The bass unit features Wharfedale’s innovative woven Kevlar cone mounted on a rigid die-cast chassis. This combination delivering a rich, detailed bass and midrange output with superb dynamic performance.
