Wharfedale DX2 (Black)
5.1 Speaker Package
£389
”The DX-2 remains the best compact option we've heard.” ’What Hi-Fi?’ 2022 award-winner.
High quality satellite speakers
The perfect bridge between small but poor-sounding satellite speakers and full-size hi-fi ones, the DX2 satellite speakers are the ideal size for quality home cinema. The two-way design features silk dome tweeters for detailed, super-smooth treble and woven polypropylene woofers for a spacious and dynamic-sounding mid-range. Sealed cabinets mean you’re free to place them close to a wall without compromising the sound quality.
Dedicated centre speaker
Rather than using an identikit fifth speaker for the centre channel, the DX-2 uses a dedicated speaker with the ideal twin woofer layout. This not only sits neatly under your TV but also offers a more spacious sound with vocals. Even when dialogue is set against a riotous soundtrack, the DX-2’s centre speaker makes it easy to follow.
Powerful subwoofer
Helping to give this Wharfedale speaker package real clout is a powerful subwoofer. Using a meaty 120 watt amplifier to drive a 20cm bass cone gives the DX-2 not just deep and powerful bass but also agile and dynamic response. Whether you're listening to music or watching films, the DX-2 subwoofer gives the package genuine full scale sound.
Smooth good looks – gloss and leather effect
It’s not just sound quality where the DX-2 scores highly, it’s with style, too. Smoothly curved and solid cabinets are finished in leather effect vinyl with gloss black fronts. The speaker drive units are highlighted with individual grilles – also handy for protecting against prying fingers. Thanks to their compact footprint, the speakers can easily be placed where conventional speakers won’t fit – such as on a mantelpiece or shallow shelf.
For an immersive 5.1 speaker system without the bulk, the DX-2 hits all the right notes.

Excellent sound for a fantastic price
These replaced an old set of tannoy surround sound speakers and i have to say, I was blown away by these for the money. A good step up from my last set and the bass is fantastic and nicely balanced. If you are looking for incredible value that doesn’t reflect the low price, these must be one of the best sub £600-700 sets around.

Great sound
Bough tas an upgrade to basic speakers used with a Yamaha Rx-v381 av unit. Noticable difference in clarity straight away. These speakers are probably the best option available, if like me. there is no space for larger free-standing units.

Wow
Amazing sound and very easy to set up (after purchasing a Receiver separately) I'll never be without surround sound, the sound isn't just direct it fills the room. The bass is unbelievable too, even when low. This is one of the best purchases and the look better than the pictures, look really sleek and expensive.

Great value speakers
For the money, you’ll do well to get a better product than this. They’re class and have made a huge difference to our audio from just the bog standard tv speaker, and ensure you’re fully immersed in whatever you watch. Easy to fit to walls too, so really pleased overall.
