Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Wharfedale's WH-2BLK bipolar satellite speakers are designed with home theater use in mind, serving as the rear left/right pair in a 5.1- or 7.1-channel listening setup. Each speaker offers 4 drivers (2 each 1.1-inch tweeter and 4-inch midrange woofer) radiating outward in two directions in order to provide clear and incredibly spacious sound for the back of your listening room, accenting the onscreen action with subtle environmental cues.

Alternately, you could use the speakers in public spaces where precise stereo "imaging" between two speakers is not required and wide sound dispersion is a virtue.

Every component of the speakers is hand-assembled in Wharfedale's production facilities, the whole process overseen from start to finish with comprehensive quality controls. Polypropylene cones and hand-wound voice coils are used in the main drive units, which are then assembled in a strong and virtually resonance-free MDF (medium-density fiberboard) enclosure.

The ferrofluid-cooled tweeters are engineered to produce a neutral tone but with incredible accuracy to create the trademark Wharfedale stereo image for stunning, fully three-dimensional sound.

What's in the Box
Two speakers, 2 speaker grilles, and a user's manual.

If you are looking to complete your surround sound system with surround, rear speakers, these are wonderful !!! They also have center channel. These will be good for front as well.

UK made & hand wired speakers. Heard that this brand have been around for a long time. See more reviews done for the same product but white color.

I had 2 pairs of these. I use them as my satellite speakers. I have a 5.1 system and a 7.1 system powered by Yamaha and Onkyo respectively. I have Paradigm fronts and center and Polk subs in both settings. In the 7.1 system, I have 2 Paradigm satellites and 2 Wharfedale satellites. I would certainly not say that these are the best, but I still liked them. I have listened to better speakers, but I am not going to the top dollar for them. So, i got these and am happy with them so far.

These speakers are great surround speakers in either a 5.1 or 7.1 system. I've used them in both and the omnidirectional pattern they display is very effective in surround applications. Very reasonably priced AND able to handle ample power for the most demanding playback. Used a pair with a small lcd - opened up the sound stage and clarified the audio even using the ten watt amplification provided by the lcd manufactuter.
