Introducing the Denton 85th Anniversary Speakers

The Power of an Icon, Reborn
Wharfedale is proud to present this 85th Anniversary Edition of one of the brand’s most famous and popular loudspeakers – the Denton.
Gilbert Briggs, who founded Wharfedale in 1932, turned the company into one of the most famous loudspeaker brands 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 further other models based on its highly popular formula, the Denton 3 being the last of the line…until now!
CLASSIC BOOKSHELF TRADITION
Every Denton 85th Anniversary two-way speaker in the classic bookshelf tradition, handcrafted using beautifully veneered cabinets with inset front baffles and traditional Tungsten cloth grilles.
Underneath the traditional exterior, however, the Denton 85th Anniversary is bang up to date and utilises a mixture of traditional and advanced technology, balancing fine craftsmanship, natural sound and affordability.
Woven Kevlar cones mounted to rigid die cast chassis and highly researched crossovers to deliver a classic Wharfedale experience with a modern twist. Every inch of these incredible two-way bookshelf loudspeakers have been carefully designed and beautifully crafted to ensure you a lifetime of listening that’s eight decades of history in the making.
SEAMLESS MUSICAL OUTPUT
The Dentomn 85th Anniversary Speakers drive units are combined by a highly researched crossover that is near inaudible to the listener, resulting in a coherent, seamless musical output that is both thrilling and natural in its rendition of any source material.
The original Denton was well known for its warm, rich and natural sounding character and the 85th Anniversary Edition retains that character but imbues it with an open, detailed performance that will entice you to explore your whole music collection.
