Wharfedale Denton 85: Compact Speaker with Classic Character
The Wharfedale Denton 85 is a passive compact speaker for a home stereo system. It combines the classic design of the Heritage series with warm, full, and detailed sound reproduction.
Key Features at a Glance
- Sound reproduction: Coordinated bass-midrange and tweeter drivers for voices, instruments, and musical details.
- Design: Wood-veneered cabinet with a recessed front and traditional fabric grille.
- System selection: Pair with a suitable stereo amplifier and your preferred music sources.
Voices and Instruments Take Center Stage
The Denton 85 captures the warm, rich sound character of the original Denton and enhances it with even more open and detailed reproduction.
A bass-midrange driver with a woven Kevlar diaphragm handles the bass and midrange. A soft fabric dome tweeter produces the high frequencies. The crossover splits the music signal between the two and tunes their interaction, rather than assigning the same frequencies to each speaker.
Classic Design for the Home
The wood-veneered cabinet, recessed front, and fabric grille draw on the traditional design of British bookshelf speakers. The Denton 85 belongs to the Heritage series, which combines classic Wharfedale designs with modern speaker technology.
Its compact design can be placed on a suitable, stable surface or appropriate speaker stands.
Choosing the Right Amplifier and Music Sources
A separate amplifier is required for operation. It should be suitable for speakers with four ohms.
Wharfedale recommends amplifier outputs of 20 to 120 watts.
Suitability and Important Notes
Who Are the Speakers Suitable For?
- Music listeners who want to put together a home stereo system.
Important Notes
- An amplifier, music player, and speaker cables must be planned separately.
Denton 85 and Super Denton Compared
The Denton 85 is slightly shorter, narrower, and lighter than the Super Denton. It uses a two-way design, while the Super Denton also uses a separate midrange driver. The Denton 85 is less expensive than the Super Denton.
| Feature | Denton 85 | Super Denton |
|---|---|---|
| Design | Two-way bass reflex | Three-way bass reflex with separate midrange driver |
| Cabinet (H × W × D, excluding connector overhang) | 34 × 24 × 27.5 cm | 36 × 24.6 × 27.5 cm |
| Device weight per speaker | 9 kg | 9.2 kg |
| Price level | More affordable | More expensive |
Conclusion
The Denton 85 is ideal for music listeners looking for an unobtrusive home stereo system with a cozy, classic design. It is particularly well-suited for listening to music deliberately through an existing or carefully selected amplifier, where the speakers can also be a visual part of the interior.
