Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Wharfedale's WH-2MMP 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.

Once again Amazon.com has introduced to consumers a high quality product at a great value. These surround sound speakers are replacing large Sony bookshelf speakers that I was using as my rear surrounds in a home theater setup. These little speakers are an excellent choice if you don't want floorstanding speakers or large sized bookshelf speakers taking up lots of space in your den or living room. We hung these 6 ohm Wharfedales on our wall at ear level on each side of the couch and the sound simply comes alive. These handsome speakers are heavy, well made (real wood!), and have the power to generate wonderful surround effects (120 watts). By the way, the midrange/bass speakers are 4 inches, not 6.75 inches as described here.

I ordered these on a whim and they have become my favorite rear channel speakers, replacing two much more expensive pairs. Their build quality is very, very good, and they are nicely finished. Sound quality is excellent. I highly suggest you try these if you can find them.

If you're looking for a surround sound speaker that doesn't overtake your room and blends into the environment then these are it. I run a 7.1 setup now and needed to add 2 more surrounds, I was previously running Definitive Pro-Monitor 100's for my surrounds and they're much larger than these, I put 4 of these in the room and couldn't be happier, no longer do I have a speaker room I live in but now I have a living room with speakers in it.
