Wharfedale Diamond 12.4i Floorstanding Speakers

RETURN OF A MODERN CLASSIC
Diamond 12i isn’t reinvention; it’s a reaffirmation. Every line, finish, and frequency curve speaks of refinement. Familiar, yet freshly alive, it captures the warmth, rhythm, and realism that made the original so beloved, now presented with greater poise and contemporary grace.

DIAMOND 12.4i
The flagship 2.5-way floorstander, 12.4i employs dual 150 mm Klarity™ woofers and a 25 mm tweeter in a taller cabinet for commanding scale. It projects music with effortless depth, articulate midrange texture, and dynamic authority that defines the Diamond 12i sound at its peak.

BACK IN MATTE
Three luxurious matte finishes—All-Black, Classic Walnut, and Stone Grey—give this Diamond rebirth a distinctly contemporary edge. Each surface wears a refined semi-matte sheen, an elegant, modern alternative to gloss that feels perfectly attuned to today’s interior design sensibilities.

TIGHTER. DEEPER. DETAILED
A revised port system reshapes Diamond’s internal airflow for greater low-frequency composure and control. The result is tighter, more tuneful bass that uncovers newfound agility and texture while preserving the musical warmth and balance that define the Diamond sound.

BRACE FOR IMPACT
Computer-modelled internal bracing connects opposing cabinet walls to suppress vibration and resonance. So, Diamond 12i plays with both composure and tonal truth, allowing music to emerge in vivid detail. And with a cabinet free from colouration, every note is anchored in clarity and control.

AXIS OF DETAIL
A finely woven polyester dome with high-loss damping coating ensures treble that is extended yet never harsh. Its acoustically flat front plate maintains broad, even dispersion—filling rooms with sparkling detail and natural air without losing tonal balance off-axis.

STILL CALLED KLARITY
The same proven polypropylene–mica blend returns, refined for precision. Rigid yet lightweight, each Klarity™ cone delivers low colouration and lightning-fast response, capturing transients with natural authority so that Diamond 12i continues to play hard, handle high power, and perform flawlessly.

DIAMOND REMAINS MAGNETIC
Precision-engineered magnet systems use aluminium compensation rings and glass-fibre voice-coil bobbins to maintain stability under pressure. By curbing distortion and intermodulation, Diamond 12i keeps the rhythm tight, the tone pure, and every performance beautifully in sync.

EVOLUTION BY DESIGN
Born of Karl-Heinz Fink’s landmark design and refined by Peter Comeau’s acoustic team, Diamond 12i celebrates continuity over outright change. Every detail—re-voiced, re-tuned, re-evaluated—shows that progress isn’t always achieved through reinvention, but in the pursuit of perfect balance.
