Strong bass with style
Ideal for medium-sized rooms, the Wharfedale Diamond 230 offers the deep, powerful sound you'd expect from floorstanding speakers whilst keeping the overall dimensions relatively compact. Using a second, dedicated bass woofer, the Diamond 230 punches hard. Not only does this second woofer unit increase the depth and volume of bass, it also helps to 'fill out' the sound at lower volumes, making this an ideal speaker for use at all volume levels.
Class-leading sound
As with other Diamond 200-series speakers, the woofers are formed from woven Kevlar and feature textured ribbing for added rigidity. A revised magnet system gives even tighter control of the sound. When combined, it gives the Diamond 230 a precise, accurate sound with a crisp mid-range and true sense of realism. At the other end of the scale the treble unit is surrounded by a deeply dished waveguide. This helps to improve the imaging and 'width' of sound, making it easier to pick out individual instruments. The treble also provides loads of detail without ever sounding unrefined. Put together, the overall sound quality is fantastically well-balanced and natural with a solid bass to underpin the music.
New cabinet for improved sound and finish
New to the Wharfedale Diamond 230 is a sandwich cabinet design. Rather than the simple chipboard and MDF used by the previous Diamond 155, the new 230 uses particle board sandwiched by MDF on either side. This new type of construction gives superb rigidity and damping properties, helping to further reduce the already low levels of distortion. A further benefit is the smooth, MDF construction that offers up a cleaner surface for the veneer to be applied to; meaning a smoother finish all round. Also new is the gloss finished baffle, making the speakers far more pleasing to the eye. As before, the Diamond 230 ports the bass via an integral plinth, rather than the more usual front or rear holes. This not only provides a more efficient and even bass output but also makes the speaker easier to place as you don't have to take wall positioning into account as much.
With its effortless all-round ability, the Wharfedale Diamond 230 is hard to beat.

Great sound
Got these a few weeks ago as replacements for my tannoy td12s as my new living room is small. These new guys punch well above their price point and look great too

Absolutely fantastic floorstanders
I can’t recommend these highly enough for the price. They really do fill the room with sound and are so versatile in their competence. They sound much cleaner than I was expecting and after a few days fiddling with settings etc they really do provide an immersive experience. Thanks as always to richer sounds for the great customer service!

Great price
I have already left a review but want to add to it. I bought these for £249 when Richer had reduced the price from £299. Unluckily for me, I now see that the price has gone down a further £40 to £199, which is almost giving them away. In fact Richer are selling the Wharfedale's next entry down, the 220s, for the very same price. No brainer really.

Tremendous sound for the price
I upgraded to these from Wharfedale 220s. They were a real bargain at £249 and paired with a Wharfedale SW150 subwoofer or similar you have a really rich sound at a budget price.

I’m very pleased with these
I was looking for speakers for my tv that would also provide decent sound for listening to a variety of music. These were excellent value and the quality of the sound is far better than you would expect for the price. Great for the tv. Driving them from a Yamaha RX-N600, which continues to provide good service.
