Britain’s most famous loudspeaker brand delves deep into its rich history of innovation to deliver another exciting arrival to its hugely popular Heritage Series: the compact three-way Super Denton.
Wharfedale celebrates its past with the Heritage Series – a range of classic stereo speakers from the 1960s and 1970s, re-engineered for the modern age. The latest addition sees Wharfedale returning to the model that sparked the Heritage Series more than a decade ago. Introduced in 1967, the original Denton exemplified Wharfedale’s twin edicts of quality and value, balancing fine craftsmanship, natural sound quality and affordability in a speaker that sold in high quantity across the globe.
Measuring 360x246x275mm, the Super Denton’s size is similar to the Denton 3, making it one of the world’s smallest three-way Hi-Fi speakers – if not the smallest, like the Denton 3 over 50 years ago. But while the look is reminiscent, the similarities between the Denton 3 and the new Super Denton end there – the drivers, the crossover and the cabinet make use of the latest techniques, technologies and materials to deliver an entirely different level of sonic performance.
The Super Denton sports dome diaphragm midrange and treble units, with 50mm and 25mm diameters respectively, and a 165mm bass driver. The latter’s diaphragm is fashioned from woven Kevlar and tuned with the cabinet and rear-firing reflex ports to deliver bass extension down to 40Hz. Developed from the midrange driver in the award-winning EVO4 Series, the Super Denton’s 50mm fabric dome delivers upper-mid range and lower-treble frequencies with aplomb, the company says. The new treble unit inherits much of its design from the one used in the £5,000-per-pair Dovedale, combining a ceramic magnet motor system with a 25mm fabric dome and a damped rear chamber to absorb the output from the back of the diaphragm.
The cabinet uses a combination of woods to scatter panel resonances rather than having a single, audibly obvious resonant frequency. An inner layer of high-density particle board is bonded to an outer layer of MDF by an inter-layer of special glue with resonance-damping properties. The Super Denton is supplied in matched, mirror-imaged pairs.
The Super Denton is available from mid-March in a choice of walnut, mahogany and black wood veneer at an RRP of £999 per pair.
