The WH series

Perfect if you love your stereo front speakers. Go multi-channel with our WH rear speakers. Excellent sonic integration into any system makes it an ideal and cost-effective solution for upgrading your system.

The WH packages all feature exceptionally high quality center channels

In WH series, four packages and a choice of subwoofer are available to match cohesively into virtually any system.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good price, reasonable quality for the non-fussy, September 12, 2002

This review is from: Wharfedale WH-2BLK Center-Channel Speaker (Black) (Electronics)

The first thing that strikes you about this speaker is the price!

The WH-2 system (center plus dipole surrounds) is meant for someone who already has 2 good speakers for mains and just wants a basic upgrade for home theater.

If you're not an audiophile or a major audio enthusiast, this speaker should do just fine. Dialog reproduction - its main job is reasonable. Though not not crystal clear (it is a sub [$$$] speaker, you know), is good enough for the non-fussy...

However, if you're the type who listens critically, I would recommend you look at the Wharfedale Diamond 8 Center.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great speaker for the money, April 9, 2003

I did some research and I found out that Wharfedale has one of the best bang-for-the-buck quotients out there.

For the money, you can not buy a better center channel speaker. Sure, it's not going to run with the top of the line models, but you can't expect it to. However, I have put it up against some significantly more expensive speakers and it blew them away.

I don't regret this purchase.

I purchased this center channel speaker as a component upgrade for one of those surround sound package systems. Huge upgrade , especially for the money I DIDN'T spend on it !

If you are an audiophile with an expensive setup , this might be sub-par , but for somebody like myself who has a decent but no-frills system that could benefit from a center channel upgrade, this speaker is well worth a look.
