10 YEAR EXTENDED WARRANTY SCHEME

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:

  • Warranty is extended to 10 years from the date of delivery.
  • Our Money Back guarantee is extended from 30 days to 180 days (terms apply after 30 days)
  • Collection and delivery costs are included for the first 2 years in the event of an item becoming faulty
  • Claim 50% cash back on the cost of the policy after 10 years if it has not been used!
  • Warranty is transferable if the item is re-sold
  • Loan or replacement equipment will be provided if the product isn't repaired within 30 days
  • If an item can not be repaired, a similar alternative product or cash discount (as defined in this policy) will be offered
  • The policy can be cancelled within 30 days, and at any time after that for a pro-rata discount

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.

Wharfedale Diamond 12.3 Floorstanding Speaker (Pair), Pearl Walnut Overview

Wharfedale

The Wharfedale Diamond 12.3s are the smaller floorstanding speakers of the Diamond 12 series. Despite their smaller size, the 12.3s are What Hi-Fi’s floorstanding speaker ‘Product of the Year’ for 2021 and 2022. In these consecutive years they were also selected as the best floorstanding speakers under £500. Such accolades for the 12.3 and 12 series more widely make them a great choice for entry-level loudspeakers.


The Diamond 12.3s feature dual 130 mm Klarity™ mid/bass drivers and a 25 mm tweeter designed in collaboration with Karl-Heinz Fink for quality assurance. Sound will be free from distortion thanks to driver ingenuity and spot-bracing within the cabinetry.

View Full Description

Diamond Value

From their introduction to the market in 1982, Wharfedale’s Diamond speakers have been critically appraised and copiously awarded. Today, they are still known for their great value and leading quality within the entry-level Hi-Fi category. The Diamond 12 series is no different. They will dependably deliver the music you enjoy with accuracy and authenticity. The 12.3 floorstanding speakers have been What Hi-Fi’s ‘product of the year’ within the floorstanding speaker category for two consecutive years. In the same years, the 12.3 speakers were selected as the best floorstanding speaker under £500; a testament to their great value.

Fink and Wharfedale

On board to design the Diamond series was Karl-Heinz Fink, the winner of What Hi-Fi?’s Outstanding Contribution Award for 2022. His influence on the design of speakers is monumental and, therefore, further assurance of the Diamond 12 series’ quality. With Fink’s engineering and Wharfedale’s vision for affordable Hi-Fi, the Diamond 12.3 floorstanding speakers set a new benchmark for the entry-level category.

Mid/Bass Klarity

The Diamond 12.3 floorstanding speakers feature Wharfedale’s new Klarity mid/bass drivers. These are made with polypropylene and mica for added stiffness, low distortion, and high resistance. While polypropylene is sometimes critiqued in speakers for creating mediocre sound this is primarily down to engineering rather than material selection. Wharfedale has certainly mastered polypropylene as the 12.3 speakers achieve characterful sound with minimal distortion and high moisture resistance. Such features will help keep your 12.3 floorstanding speakers in great condition for years to come.
Engineering Ingenuity

Engineering Ingenuity

So, what is it that helps the dual mid/bass drivers sound so good? For one, a low- rather than high-damping surround is used to ensure that dynamics and bass are not restricted or softened. Adding this was no mean feat; extra stiffness was needed elsewhere on the Klarity cone to compensate. Ultimately, Wharfedale achieved a flat frequency response curve demonstrating that more expressive sounds are possible by using polypropylene and a little bit of ingenuity. A precision-made magnet system minimises inductance variation effects along the driver voice coil. This voice coil is wound around a high-power epoxy/glass fibre bobbin, contributing a level of power handling and overall performance not often achievable in speakers of this price point.

Tweeter and Crossover Capability

Tweeter and Crossover Capability

As well as dual mid/bass drivers, the Diamond 12.3 floorstanding speakers feature a 25 mm dome tweeter for high-frequency audio. They are designed to widely disperse and deliver your sound without unnecessary compression. The front plate is flat and exposes the tweeter dome with a short duct, balancing acoustic load and improving sound pressure. The 12.3’s tweeter seamlessly blends with the mid/bass drivers via a crossover network with acoustic LKR 24 dB topology. Air core inductors (of the standard found in premium speakers) produce the lowest distortion of all inductor types. Because this coil’s resistance is higher than that of a standard laminated steel or ferrite core inductor, the magnetic structure of the mid/bass driver was modified to compensate. This has led to quick, tidy bass without distortion from the inductor.

Cabinet Construction

Cabinet Construction

The cabinets of the Diamond 12.3 speakers not only help them look great but also secure everything within. Construction makes a surprising amount of difference to sound quality too. Consequently, Wharfedale has paid close attention to its speaker exteriors. A rear-ported enclosure is specially designed to create harmony between internal volume and driver units. Wood fibre boards of varying thicknesses make up the cabinet walls; these boards and the glue which holds them together have been crafted and selected specifically to avoid any unwanted effects to sound output. Intelligent Spot Bracing successfully lowers cabinet resonance. The wood braces which internally connect opposite walls are modelled with precision by computer simulation for the utmost accuracy.
