Wharfedale Diamond 12.4 Tower Loudspeaker Will Make You a Believer in High-End Audio: Features Two 6.5-Inch Drivers and Advanced Crossover, Plays with Expressiveness Fueled by a 6.5-inch woofer and 6.5-inch bass/midrange driver, the Wharfedale Diamond 12.4 tower loudspeaker plays with a focus, immediacy, transparency, and openness mostly off-limits to other models anywhere near its price class. Proudly expanding on the Diamond Series heritage originally established more than three decades ago, Wharfedale thoughtfully considered every aspect of Diamond 12 Series and updated practically everything from the ground up on both the inside and outside so that each speaker in the line performs with optimal results.
