2022 Best home cinema amplifier £1000-£2000
"Despite being more expensive than its predecessor, the AVC-X3800H's updated feature spec and new and improved sound make it an excellent buy"
"One of the greatest budget loudspeakers ever, the 9.1s deliver a quality-laden performance...the 9.1s also look and feel like far more expensive speakers. Forget the bog-standard box design commonly used for budget boxes – these elegant standmounts boast curved, braced cabinets, cranking aesthetic appeal up a notch, and also helping reduce unwanted cabinet vibrations and dissipate any standing waves produced by the mid/bass driver."
"A true champion of subwoofers, in terms of performance and price – it’s a quality piece of budget equipment."
Equipped with five-inch (130mm) Kevlar bass/midrange cones, the speakers from the Diamond 9 series deliver a broad and dynamic frequency range, ensuring consistent tonality no matter your taste in music. The one-inch (25mm) textile tweeter also notably boosts sound clarity and produces sharper high frequencies. Their six ohms impedance and moderate sensitivity ensure easy amplifier compatibility, room-filling performance, and make them a great budget-friendly option for budding audiophiles.
Curved, braced cabinets are a hallmark of Diamond 9 series speakers, minimising internal resonance to enhance the depth of your listening experience. The bookshelf and centre speaker cabinets feature ports to improve bass response. Notably, the 9.1 Speaker's front-firing ports contribute to its appeal by facilitating greater placement options in your home cinema, amongst other acoustic benefits. These speakers feature gold-plated binding posts for secure connections to your amp, supporting both standard and bi-wire setups.
The Wharfedale Diamond SW-150 Subwoofer, with its 150W RMS power amplifier, is designed to enhance your home cinema with punchy bass, perfect for action-packed movies. It features a 10-inch bass driver for an immersive entertainment experience with a unique design that allows for adjustable crossover frequency from 35Hz to 85Hz, ensuring clear and focused bass. With a frequency response of 35Hz – 110Hz and a forward-firing driver, it guarantees an engrossing listening experience that brings blockbuster movies to life.
The Wharfedale Diamond 9.1 Bookshelf Speakers set the benchmark in budget home cinema systems, offering an audio experience that rivals more expensive counterparts. With their advanced design minimising vibrations, these award-winning speakers deliver detailed audio. Their compatibility with both bi-wiring and advanced setups makes them perfect for expanding into 5.1 or 7.1 surround sound systems, ensuring a harmonious blend of frequencies for an immersive cinematic experience.
At the centre of this home cinema package is the Wharfedale Diamond 9.CS Centre Speaker, ensuring exceptional clarity in movies, TV shows, and games. Unlike the 9.1, it features dual 130mm bass drivers for an enhanced bass and midrange response, emphasising frequencies more commonly associated with dialogue and the human voice. With bi-wire compatibility for clear high and low-frequency separation, its compact, vibration-reducing design is the perfect fit for just about any setup.
Most surround sound packages come with at least one subwoofer for that essential bass kick; the Wharfedale Diamond SW-150 is included in this one. This subwoofer simplifies the installation process with its easy setup, featuring adjustable phase, auto power, and versatile inputs, ensuring seamless integration for the perfect bass blend. Starting your new home cinema with this subwoofer sets a solid foundation, whether you choose to keep it solo or add more subs to your system later on.
While not from the same range, the Wharfedale D300 3D Surround Speakers offer an affordable solution to integrate overhead sound into your home cinema. Whether mounting on walls, stands, or resting atop bookshelf or floorstanding speakers—ideal for spaces where wall installation isn't possible—these speakers adapt. Their perfect angling and versatility enhance your experience with surround sound technologies such as Dolby Atmos, filling your space with an all-encompassing dome of sound.
