While Wharfedale loudspeakers are still designed and engineered in the UK, most models are manufactured at IAGs vertically integrated and state of the art manufacturing facility in China. And this is important for several key reasons. Vertically integrated manufacturing affords Wharfedale engineers the luxury of experimenting with new designs, materials, and technologies. Because unlike competing loudspeaker manufacturers, all Wharfedale parts – from driver coils to transistors and everything in between – are entirely manufactured in-house. Therefore, Wharfedale can ensure unparalleled quality control, customisation, and production efficiency. And that allows Wharfedale to reduce costs, increase quality, and innovate, giving you a loudspeaker that's greater value for money than any competing model in its class.

In short, YES! "Dialling in" accurate speaker positioning creates the perfect synergy between loudspeaker and listener, producing the 3-dimensional effects of high fidelity stereo listening. And the best way to secure the perfect speaker positioning is a pair of speaker stands. Optimal speaker positioning requires experimentation: moving speakers wider apart and closer together, away from walls or furniture and back in again. And it requires your speakers to sit at an optimal height to ensure your ears are perfectly positioned between each driver. All of this is made possible using speaker stands, making them the most affordable upgrade to your overall listening experience.

Absolutely. All Wharfedale loudspeakers are fitted with speaker wire binding posts that are compatible with both bare wire and terminated speaker cable ends. And with recommended amplification ranges provided within the specifications tables, available at the bottom of all Wharfedale product pages, you can easily match the output of your amplifier to the recommended range of your new Wharfedale loudspeaker.

Wharfedale design and engineer loudspeakers for modern listeners. That means music and home cinema applications. Many Wharfedale loudspeaker series include centre channel and wall-mounted cinema surround sound models for this very reason. Not only is Wharfedale renowned for their two-channel stereo prowess, many Wharfedale loudspeaker series have been grouped into home cinema packs that have gone on to win multiple home cinema awards from the biggest publications in Hi-Fi and home entertainment.
