Product Information
Featuring the immersive sound of Dolby Atmos and DTS:X, the Yamaha RX-V6A takes home cinema surround to the next level.
Dolby Atmos and DTS:X for three-dimensional sound
Dolby Atmos and DTS:X use ceiling or up-firing speakers for three-dimensional and fully immersive sound. Whether it’s rain falling in a tropical jungle or the intense sound of overhead gunfire, Dolby Atmos and DTS:X put you in the centre of the action. DTS Neural:X offers an even more immersive sound, with a heightened sense of realism.
Dolby Atmos Height Virtualization for extra height, without the speakers*
As impressive as Dolby Atmos and DTS:X sound, it’s not always possible to accommodate the extra speakers. Dolby Atmos Height Virtualization technology goes some way to help. Play any Dolby format and enjoy a more immersive sound with virtual height enhancement – using your existing speakers to deliver an enhanced sound. *via firmware update.
Compatible with the next generation of high resolution – 8K*
Featuring a trio of 8K compliant HDMI inputs and matching output, this Yamaha AVR is ready for the next generation of TV. If you’ve not yet made the jump to 8K TV, the sockets also handles up to 4K/120Hz signals, for the highest quality pass through. Upscaling to UHD 4K is also standard. *via firmware update.
Supports Dolby Vision and HDR10+*
Using a 7/1 (in/out) HDMI interface, the RX-V6A supports your full system. It also supports a wide range of High Dynamic Range video formats. These include Dolby Vision, HDR10 and HLG. It also supports HDR10+, which enhances picture realism by sending dynamic Meta data to your TV. *via firmware update.
Game on*
The latest HDMI support also marks a big improvement in gaming. 4K/120Hz and VRR (Variable Refresh Rate) support maximise resolution and clarity. Quick Frame Transport (QFT) and Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM) help eliminate lag and frame tearing, giving you a smoother, more responsive gaming experience. *via firmware update.
Powerful precision
For precise, dynamic sound, the Yamaha RX-V6A uses a powerful, 100 watts, high slew rate amplifier. Ideal for HiRes music and home cinema, the amp powers your music or soundtracks with gusto – keeping you on the edge of your seat during action movies or gaming, and totally bewitched by your favourite music. This design of amplifier can be tricky to optimise, but Yamaha’s unique design achieves dynamic scale while also maintaining a stable signal transmission.
Surround sound, untied
For an easy way to reduce cabling, the RX-V6A offers the option of wireless rear speakers. Combine this receiver with the Yamaha MusicCast 20 or MusicCast 50 speakers and you can leave aside speaker cable connections. Perfect if you have a solid floor and struggle to hide speaker cable or if you simply want a cleaner style, wireless surround speakers cut down on the clutter.
Connect more – including a turntable
As well as seven HDMI inputs, this Yamaha AVR also has a wide range of other AV connectivity. Optical coaxial digital inputs are ideal for connecting older devices or upgrading the sound from a compatible CD/Network player. Three analogue inputs are perfect for Hi-Fi components, with the dedicated MM phono input perfect for plugging in a turntable. The Zone 2 output gives you the option of adding a second pair of speakers in another room.
MusicCast for music all around your home
The Yamaha RX-V6A is part of Yamaha's hugely impressive network audio system, MusicCast. With MusicCast you control all your compatible Yamaha MusicCast products via your smartphone or even Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant by voice*. Play the same music on all the components or split the sound into different zones for different moods in each room; the choice is yours. The MusicCast CONTROLLER app lets you operate the system around your home and change settings quickly and easily. *requires third party Alexa or Google device.
Stream the best music services
Compatible with Amazon Music, Spotify Premium, Pandora, Napster, Tidal, Deezer and Qobuz, the RXV6A is fully equipped for your favourite music streaming service. With Tidal and Qobuz already offering higher resolution playback, it’s now possible to find a streaming service that at least matches the quality of CD and, in some cases, even improves upon it.
Advanced networking including Apple AirPlay and Bluetooth
As well as MusicCast, the RX-V6A is also compatible with Apple AirPlay 2, letting you stream music from your Apple iPod Touch, iPhone, iPad or other compatible Apple device, wirelessly, around your home. Just ask Siri where you want the music to play. For a quick and easy connection with your smartphone, use the Bluetooth connection for easy music streaming.
Sleek new style
If you’re used to AV receivers being all bulk and buttons, the RX-V6A will come as a pleasant surprise. Rounded edges give a softer, less imposing style. Yamaha has also kept the button count to a minimum, giving this AVR a much cleaner and fresher aesthetic.
Become fully enveloped in the sound, with the Yamaha RX-V6A.
Taking an award-winner and making it even better, the Wharfedale Diamond 12.3i speakers deliver big from their unobtrusive footprint.
Immersive sound from a slender floorstanding speaker
Ideal for medium-sized rooms, the Wharfedale Diamond 12.3i offers the deep, powerful sound you'd expect from floorstanding speakers while keeping the overall dimensions relatively compact. Using a second, dedicated bass woofer, the Diamond 12.3i also 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.
Ideal for hi-fi and home cinema
The speaker size makes them equally suitable as stereo or front speakers as part of a Diamond 12i Series home cinema system. Matching centre and effect speakers are available. They're also easy to place, working well close to, or away from the rear wall.
The i’s have it
Following on from the original Diamond 12 range, the 12i benefits from a raft of updates to improve both sound and style. Extensive research has led to a new bass port design and revised internal damping. Together with tighter driver production tolerances, the result is a more agile bass with a smoother integration with the midrange for a more lifelike balance. A new range of finishes brings this classic speaker bang up to date and ready to grace any décor.
Klarity by name and nature
Featuring Wharfedale’s Klarity cone material, with hybrid construction, the Diamond 12.3i delivers fast and upbeat bass and a striking vocal clarity. At the top-end there’s a textile dome tweeter that delivers the perfect balance between detail and refinement.
New choice of finishes
Available in a choice of contemporary finishes, the Diamond 12.3i looks smarter than ever. Deep Black is a rich, semi-matte finish that blends well with source electronics. Stone Grey is a lighter finish that suits modern domestic aesthetics. Finally, Classic Walnut has a traditional wood effect finish for warmth and timeless appeal.
Precision engineered cabinet
With its new bass port, the airflow works in perfect harmony with the cabinet’s internal volume, ensuring a seamless and unobtrusive response. The cabinet itself is engineered from differing thicknesses of MDF to control resonance. Combined with the strategic bracing, this makes it solid and free from the distorting ‘boxy’ sound that can afflict some speakers. In short, you get to hear the soul of your music, distortion-free.
Sparkling with all types of music and movies, the Wharfedale Diamond 12.3i make a big impression.
Evolved over four decades, the Wharfedale Diamond 12.1i compact speakers are at the peak of their performance.
Compact and flexible
Just like the countless Diamond speakers that have succeeded the Diamond 12.1i, these are supremely versatile speakers. The compact size and high sensitivity make them the ideal companion for mini or hi-fi separates systems alike. They're also easy to place, working well close to, or away from the rear wall. If you're looking for quality home cinema speakers, they also work exceptionally well as satellite speakers - there's even a centre speaker to match.

Combined with the strategic bracing, this makes it solid and free from the distorting ‘boxy’ sound that can afflict smaller speakers. In short, you get to hear the soul of your music, distortion-free.
Now better than ever, the Wharfedale Diamond 12.1i shines bright.
Ideal for completing a Diamond 12i home cinema system or as a centre speaker upgrade, the Wharfedale Diamond 12.Ci makes a clear choice.
The perfect match for a Diamond 12i AV speaker system
With matching aesthetics and drive unit design, the Wharfedale Diamond 12.Ci centre makes the ideal centre speaker to match up with other Diamond 12i speakers in a home cinema set up. Use either the Diamond 12.1i or 12.2i as satellite speakers all around or match with larger Diamond 12.3i or 12.4i floorstanders at the front, and you have a perfectly matched speaker system. Alternatively, the crisp and precise vocals make the Diamond 12.Ci ideal as a centre speaker upgrade from more basic speaker systems.
Klarity by name and nature
Featuring Wharfedale’s Klarity cone material, with hybrid construction, the Diamond 12.Ci delivers smooth, crystal-clear dialogue. At the top-end there’s a textile dome tweeter that delivers the perfect balance between detail and refinement.
Immersive sound
Featuring twin cones, the 12.Ci centre speaker delivers a wide, immersive sound. Effortlessly filling the space between the front speakers, the 12.Ci brings cinematic movies to life.

Available in a choice of contemporary finishes, the Diamond 12.Ci looks smarter than ever. Deep Black is a rich, semi-matte finish that blends well with source electronics.

Enjoy crystal-clear vocals, with the Wharfedale Diamond 12.Ci.
With its powerful amp and long-throw bass cone, the Wharfedale SW-10 subwoofer gets you deeper into your music and movies.
Deep, powerful bass
The 10 inch woofer cone is designed for long travel, meaning the SW-10 shifts a large volume of air, producing deep and powerful bass. Power is nothing without control, which is why the cone features copper-lined centre vents for reduced distortion.
High-powered amplification for precision sound and high efficiency
The subwoofer packs a powerful yet efficient Class-D built-in amplifier. With a substantial power rating of 200 watts, peaking at an immense 350 watts, the built-in amplifier offers cast-iron control of the bass, whatever the volume.
Get the perfect balance in your room
Volume and crossover controls tailor the sound for just the right level of bass for your room. They also ensure that the sub is perfectly matched to your existing speakers. Switchable phase control means that the sub can be placed behind you and still work in harmony with the front speakers.
Sleek good looks
Available in black or white finishes, the SW-10 effortlessly blends with a wide range of other speakers – especially Wharfedale’s own Diamond series. The crisp style gives a timeless appeal. A removable fabric grille protects the woofer cone.
Get a boost to your bottom line, with the Wharfedale SW-10.
