The 8.1A provides a 1/4 in. unbalanced input, and the 8.2A provides a balanced XLR-1/4 in. combo input. Rear panel controls include Volume level and a carefully tailored bass filter switch. For professional recording and post production, Diamond 8 speakers are a superb reference for the creation and mixing of program material.
The Diamond 8 Series
Make no mistake -- these don't just lead the class, they completely redefine it!
There's not much to say about these that hasn't already been said. The hi-fi products of the decade? - -(HiFi World), The most amazing loudspeakers for 25 years? -- (Ken Kessler - Hi-Fi News - D8.1), Instantly sets the level to which all rivals must now aspire? -- (Gramophone).
They have totally redefined the expectations at the price. No longer will sloppy drive units, poor build and single wire terminals suffice -- even in budget loudspeakers. If you are serious about sound, but restricted by cost, there is no other choice.
The Diamond 8 is nothing short of a revolution in audio. Wharfedale's unique bi-directional KEVLAR weave creates a cone that can start and stop in an instant -- for detail and resolution that will amaze even the most skeptical listener. Coupled with the most refined Ferro-fluid cooled, neodymium powered, textile tweeter in it's class, this range has it all -- detail, dynamics, one of the most impressive soundstages you will ever hear (at any price) and the kind of excitement and involvement that many who spend 100 times as much on their loudspeakers would envy.
For Home Cinema enthusiasts, there is now a special edition of the DFS speaker tonally and aesthetically matched to the Diamond 8 series. This bi-polar speakers produces an ideal rear sound field, with both direct stereo imaging and the ambience required -- all with the same detail and resolution you have come to expect from the rest of the range.
