Denton

Wharfedale is proud to present this 80th 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 father other models based on its highly popular formula, the Denton 3 being the
last of the line…

…until now!

Denton 80th Anniversary is a two-way speaker in the classic bookshelf tradition, beautifully hand veneered in
Mahogany by Wharfedale cabinet makers with an inset front baffle and traditional Tungsten cloth grille.

Underneath the traditional exterior, however, the Denton 80th Anniversary is bang up to date and utilises a mixture
of traditional and advanced technology. The bass unit features Wharfedale’s innovative woven Kevlar cone mounted
on a rigid die cast chassis, this combination delivering a rich, detailed bass/midrange output with superb dynamic
performance. High frequencies are handled by a woven textile soft dome treble unit with high flux ferrite magnet,
engineered for smooth, detailed HF extension.

These 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 80th Anniversary
Edition retains that character but imbues it with an open, detailed performance that will entice you to explore your
whole music collection.

Veritably a modern classic!
