These great little speakers are on a special offer again at Richer Sounds and also come with a 6 year warranty.
Here are the details:-
Speaker legends don't get much bigger than the Wharfedale Diamond 9.0.
It's hard to believe that the original Wharfedale Diamond is now past its thirtieth birthday. All those decades ago, it was the Diamond speaker that proved, for the first time, that excellent quality sound could be achieved from a small, budget speaker. Since then there have been dozens of imitators, but the Diamonds remain amongst the best available.
The cabinet isn't just compact, it's also very solid. This combination gives the Diamonds an extremely accurate sound quality as the cabinet doesn't flex or vibrate like larger, less well made speakers. Equally impressive are the drive units. A soft dome tweeter gives the clarity and smoothness of sound you'd expect from a much more expensive speaker whilst the woofer cone uses a carbon fibre type weave to offer extremely taut and responsive bass. With a front port, these bass reflex speakers are punchier than you might expect and in no way could they ever be described as tinny. Over all, they may be small but the sound is grown-up, with excellent staging, realism and surprisingly powerful.
It's not just the major aspects of the design that Wharfedale have got right, it's the details, too. Proper 4mm banana sockets will accept thick cable and offer the best type of connection. Threaded sockets at the rear make for secure and easy bracket attachment.
At £100 these speakers were clearly market leaders. Now we're offering them at this bargain price, the Diamond 9.0 speakers are a gem of a deal!

Don't waste your money on a soundbar because they are very over rated.
I bought a mid / top of the range Yamaha soundbar and in true honesty it sounded rubbish.
I am now using a set of Creative Gigaworks T40 speakers costing about £80 on my tv and believe me they wipe the floor with any soundbar I've ever heard.

I'm an audionoob but how would you go about connecting these to a monitor with a standard 3.5mm jack?

Might be a really stupid question, but could these be used with a TV?

Picked up a similar set of speakers from Argos a few years back. Hooked it up to my TV via a cheap 2020A+ amplifier. Cost me £35 in total, and sounds fantastic.

They are passive speakers so you'd need to run them through a powered amp.

Cheers. I'm looking for a soundbar or similar so thought something like this would suffice. Thanks for the reply. :smiley:

I forget the model but you can get some solid mini amps for around 20 quid via Amazon/eBay that would drive these.
