Wharfedale DX-2 5.1 Speaker Package - Black. For those seeking a more discreet, stylish and affordable solution for genuine surround sound, the New DX-2 5.1 speaker system from Wharfedale is ideal. Consisting of four satellite speakers for the front and rear, plus a compact centre speaker and an active subwoofer, the DX-2 replaces the similarly diminutive DX-1 series of speaker packages. These were universally praised for their excellent'sound-per-pound' performance, earning five-star reviews in What Hi-Fi?
And Home Cinema Choice magazines, scoring 9/10 on the Trusted Reviews website, and winning'Best Compact Loudspeaker System' in last year's AVTech Media Awards. The DX-2 incorporates all the key ingredients that made the DX-1 HCP and DX-1SE packages so successful, re-engineered with an improved cabinet design and a smart, contemporary new look.
The drive units have been fine-tuned and the active subwoofer upgraded with a more powerful and sophisticated integral amplifier, resulting in greater scale, punch and refinement. Driver Configuration Ideal for mounting on a wall or an AV stand or shelf, the small DX-2 Satellite has a 19mm silk dome tweeter and 75mm mid/bass driver with a woven polypropylene cone. The enclosure is an infinite baffle closed-box design, which means the speaker can be placed in close proximity to a wall without adversely affecting their performance. The DX-2 Centre incorporates the same silk dome tweeter flanked by two 75mm mid/bass drivers in a similarly compact cabinet.
The design includes an aperiodic bass loading system consisting of a vent that is filled with resistive porous foam. WH-D8 Subwoofer The matching WH-D8 active subwoofer features a 20cm long-throw bass driver powered by a 70w amplifier for fast, deep and well-defined sound.The quality of the subwoofer's design ensures it integrates superbly with the other speakers in the package, without any hint of bass bloating or overhang. It also has an'auto-power' facility, automatically switching in or out of standby when a signal is sensed. Performance The DX-2 5.1 speaker package delivers smart, space-saving contemporary style and exhilarating sound for both movies and music - fast, punchy and detailed, with a sense of scale that belies the diminutive size of the speakers. It's the perfect way to enjoy authentic and engaging surround sound at a price more akin to a soundbar than a high-quality 5.1 speaker package.
