The product price includes 5 years' warranty and 30 day money back guarantee.
However, the AV.com extended warranty scheme provides an enhanced service, and is designed to offer a higher level of protection than many 'free' warranties offered by some retailers and manufacturers.
The highlights of this enhanced warranty service are:
Please note that this extended warranty is currently only available on products sold within the UK, EU or EEA, and is subject to the terms and conditions as detailed on the extended warranty certificate provided.
For customers in outlying areas of the country, the price of the Extended Warranty may be marginally higher, due to the potential for higher collection and redelivery transport costs.
This enhanced warranty is in addition to the standard AV.com and manufacturer warranty policies, and the AV.com terms and conditions of trade. No statement or condition of sale contained within these terms affects or restricts your statutory rights as defined under the Consumer Contracts Regulation 2014.

The Wharfedale Diamond 12.0 Speakers are the result of over 75 years of research with all-new proprietary technology including Klarity drivers and Intelligent Spot Bracing at an achievable price point designed for the budding and seasoned audiophiles alike. The proprietary Klarity driver and dome tweeter deliver a sound reproduction that remains completely balanced with a smooth yet bitey character that will impress no matter your chosen genre, made whole by the seamless combination delivered by the crossover network using an acoustic LKR 24dB topology.
The 12.0 speakers provide the perfect solution for small footprint hi-fi systems or even as high-performance satellite speakers. Every part of the Diamond 12 series has been meticulously reconstructed from the ground up on the previous series of loudspeakers including new Intelligent Spot Bracing that significantly reduces vibrations like never before. The Diamond 12.0 will capture the magic in all your favourite music with subtlety and nuance like never before.

Wharfedale constantly innovates new technology for the betterment of audio immersion and enjoyment. Since 2001 Wharfedale has used Kevlar for the construction of their Diamond speaker cones, however with 12.0 a new proprietary composite called Klarity has been created. The base ingredient for Klarity is polypropylene, a low distortion material that has been combined with mica to increase stiffness and reduce flexing resulting in a lightning-fast response. The result is an enthralling sound with precise accuracy and bold excitement for your audio.
Meticulous research has gone into delivering prime fidelity from the bass/mid drivers in the Diamond 12.0 series speakers. The diaphragms are driven by a precision-made magnet system with an aluminium compensation ring that minimises distortion and intermodulation usually associated with motor systems with ultra-low damping. The voice coil is wound on a high-power epoxy/glass fibre bobbin. This negates any eddy currents being added and assures the delivery of greater power compared to that delivered by an aluminium bobbin usually found in speakers at this price range.
Open and smooth extended high frequencies are assured thanks to the 25mm dome made from a woven polyester film with a high loss coating. Wide dispersion ensures perfect sound quality in any environment with a crossover network using an acoustic LKR 24dB topology and air-core inductors that allows seamless combination with the Klarity mid/bass drivers negating any distortion.
The Diamond 12 series features a cabinet design that is usually reserved for speakers at a much higher price point. Wharfedale knows that sub-par design can lead to suboptimal results, no matter how good your drive system is. The rear-ported enclosure of each speaker has been designed to deliver prime sonic results with Intelligent Spot Bracing achieving an optimal reduction of cabinet resonance. The resonant properties of all materials used, including the glue, were carefully managed for natural, resonant free audio that offers full immersion.
