SUPER FUN BUT... ! Wharfedale Super Denton Speaker Review

Музыка

I make no secret that I am not convinced by the performance of many "retro" looking speakers on the market these days. But designer Peter Comeau is on a bit of a roll. Could his new Wharfedale Super Dentons change my mind?

    I think that final sentence says alot for the kind of people that will buy that speaker. I have the Denton 85. I bought it because I am in that bracket of liking the vintage look. And here lies the question of how your room is decorated. I like wood. So the speakers fit in perfectly. I would think that young people would be turned off by the design of the super Denton's. But fashion has a funny way of going full circle and wood will come back. Just a matter of when. design is ever so important. Why spend a fortune on the furniture you love, if the speakers you look at everday don't match the decor. I wanted the super Denton's to be more detailed, but the monitor audio's always seem to kick me in the teeth. I am undecided on my next purchase, but your videos are quite excellent and help me with the decision making process. Well done

    If you intend to upgrade in the future Peter, I highly recommend the Criton-speakers by CSS Audio, they have a similar sound as the 85s (I used to own the Dentons too), but with more clarity, better imaging, resolution etc. ATB, Sven.

    I owned the Lintons and ran them with the Willsenton r 8. Sounded warm and pleasing. I went to a high end store in my town Las vegas and heard a 20k system with a pair of Revel tower speakers and heard what i was missing. I found a pair locally used Revel Concerto 12 a lower model hooked them up and the Lintons went up for sale. Its all about synergy and your own personal listening preference.

    I do enjoy your reviews even on equipment I'm not looking into simply for the artistry you bring in the descriptive detail. I find I learn a little bit of detail about an amp or a tip on placement with each review. Personally I find retro a short term enjoyment. It is pleasing to look and listen to, revisit some old memories but after a short bit you realize you've grown out that and maybe with age are bit more demanding. It is not something I see myself investing in. While I admit in my younger days I enjoyed my dirty and loud music, today's goals are more modest and definitely for more purity. Thanks for another great review!

    I bought the Mission 770 speakers a little over a year ago. I like the white front baffle and the walnut veneer sides. But what really matters is that they are extremly captivating to listen to. After a short while you forget all about critical listening and just flow away with the music. Which often leads to longer listening sessions. That part I really love about those speakers. And they are going to be the permanent part of my system fornthe next many years to come. Thanks for a good review 😊

    Tarun, I so enjoy your videos. Always clear, concise and you offer comparisons to similarly priced gear. I've heard, and a couple times owned some really great vintage amplification. It seems that "state of the art" was largely achieved there some time ago. Vintage speakers I would say less so. The great thing about this hobby is there' so many choices to suit one's taste. My definition of a good sounding system is one you look forward to listening to. Listen, breathe and disengage from the world.

    I remember speakers from 80's I found in early 2000's throwen away by someone. They had brownish wood like veneer cabinet and single elipsoid driver made by Ei Niš. I use them in short period and then throw away again, but today as more mature audiophile, 20 years later I remember that they had more of emotion engage than many. So this look stay as reminder. Have I mention that my present speakers are Spendor classic? Prior I auditioned them I was already emotionally fulfilled. Seams like a dealer had easy job.😊

I did see your review of these speakers and I'm so glad I bought them. Not only do I love the look and how they fit aesthetically into my room, but they also injected speed and agility into the sound and I love the balance now. They replaced a pair of Wharfedale Dentons.

    I have a pair of Yamaha NS-30a modded to ns-30 speakers from 1967 that sound fantastic with a SET 2a3 amp. They have a sensitivity of 102db. You don't see that today very often and if you do, it means big money. I bought these from an old fella 7 years ago for a very reasonable 250 Canadian for the pair. They were the but ugly Canadian style with horizontal cabs instead of the more elegant Japanese style cabinets. I rebuilt them to the Japanese spec, changed a few resistors and the 2 caps and they will never be sold as long as I'm alive (I think). Wonderful sounding and very interesting speakers that we will never see again.

Also it's fun to mix and match old and new, so it''s not necessarily either or...

    I recently rescued ( from a wet garage) a pair of Tannoy Eatons from the early 80s. The cabinets were rotted, but remarkably the drivers and electronics were in decent condition. I'm making (with help) new cabinets from Eucalyptus Ply and American Walnut veneer. I have some vintage Sansui gear and am really looking forward to how they sound, both with that and my valve amps. There is a sound signature of 70s amps which is hard to replicate these days, and is extremely beguiling.

    Great review, Tarun. Really enjoyed the way you combined sound quality with partnering equipment and set up. The Super Denton's look beautiful. I almost bought the smaller Denton's (85) on looks alone last year but went for Chora's instead. I love the vintage look as they remind me of my early 80s childhood playing my dad's records on his 1970s all in one record player system. The next time I'm tempted to buy Wharfedale vintage speakers I might consider the audiolab amp as well. Thanks for the tip!

I’ve since “shifted” them to my daughter. Note the Brit speak 😂. Btw, I loved the pic of the vintage ADS L1230s. They were and still are exquisite speakers. Their mid range and smooth upper end is unsurpassed.

    Hi Tarun, I remember the original Dentons and Lintons from my teenage years. Favourites among fellow audiophiles with only the income from working as an apprentice. I guess my speakers qualify as vintage. Lowther Acousta 115s were introduced in 1962 and ran until 1973. (Mine are later ones from 1970-73 so at least 50 years old.) I believe they are Lowther's best selling speaker ever - one "claim to fame" is that Jimi Hendrix owned a pair. After Lowther themselves discontinued this model, they have been in continuous production ever since. Small cabinet-making companies and advanced DIY-ers all over the world have been making them for decades as Lowther sold the plans for this very purpose. Particularly popular in the USA, Japan and Italy. A version of this speaker was re-introduced by Lowther fairly recently. In 1962 they cost £113 and ten shillings. In 2024 they are more like seven grand. Horn cabinets have never been cheap to build. Lowther Acoustas are compact for a horn-loaded speaker but still big by domestic standards. They sound best close to the floor and room corners but that's vintage horns for you. Mine have current production silver-coiled DX3 drivers. I would describe their sound as "unflatteringly transparent". If you want a stethoscope to tell you every mod you make to your system and still sound musical then these are the kiddies. They beam quite noticeably but sitting in the sweet spot they are hard to beat. The closest in sound character to these speakers I have heard are Quad Electrostatics - but the Quads need more power - the Lowthers are a completely practical proposition with my 4 watts of single triode power. 😀

I’ve read reviews of new versions with interest, and some definitely sound like improvements. My favorite speaker is currently a Warfedale W-70E with its 15” woofer and Mylar tweeter supplemented with a 10” sub. I may be looking for stand-mounts in the future because I find imaging the most important feature, after bass.

    Tarun, my friend this is a superb, detailed and well differentiated review covering a plethora of aspects, that the experienced enthusiast is curious about, nevertheless in language that the newbie understands. I found your amplifier pairing section especially valuable since I have recently also changed my power amplifier and am delighted by the results. As a Brit growing up in the 60's and 70's in UK, Wharfedale was one of my favourite brands along with Leak, Rogers, Quad, TDL, KEF, Radford, Garrard and many, many more. It is indeed very satisfying to see such a competent design from the house of Wharfedale by such a recognised name in the industry as Peter Comeau. As a longtime subscriber to HiFi News & Record Review (HFNRR) mmagazine, his name is probably unknowingly influential in half of British households with an interest in good hi-fi. Grsat video, Tarun - the channel is one of the best in this space! Another viewer said it better than me: EXQUISITE! All the best, Rob in Switzerland PS.

    @@abritishaudiophile7314 For a long time I have been frustrated by the bass shyness of my KEF Reference Three Twos paired with my excellent but older Exposure Stereo VIII power amplifier. I have been contemplating getting a subwoofer or a pair and considered REL and BK Electronics, another UK brand who used to manufacture for REL before they moved manufacturing in-house. But then it dawned on me that the KEFs are 4 Ohm speakers, my exposure VIII is set for 240V UK mains of the 1980's (here we have 220V) and deliver only 55Wpc into 8 Ohms, probably 70W into 4 Ohms. So I surmised that the KEFs were asking too much of the older Exposure. Indeed a quick look at the back panel of the KEFs says use with amplifiers up to 300W. So I started looking around for an alternative power amplifier. I was considering trying some Class D monoblocks (they are getting better and better) but happened across a few reviews of the Transaudio D5 Pro. In a major departure from my usual preference for European or the occasional Japanese component, I risked a Chinese manufacturer, buying from AliExpress. The D5 Pro uses ideas from the DartZeel NHB 108 circuitry whose patents have apparently now expired. Of course there is considerable cost-cutting (12 not 16 output transistors, 1 not 2 mains transformers but otherwise it is implemented with high quailty European, Japanese (and perhaps US) components and the build quality is top notch. The first stage runs in Class A and the power stage in Class AB as I understand. Treble is sweet and extended, bass powerful, mid full and natural and the preservation of low-level details even while reproducing stronger signals in the foreground excellent. As a consequence, the sound stage is wide and precise and the layers of depth surpass what my aging Exposure could muster. And into 4 Ohms it delivers about 225Wpc - the claim of 300W is optimistic. I am still running my Exposure XI and XII preamp with dedicated DC power supply as its musicality and detail are still hard to beat. The upshot is that the left hand on piano pieces is now every bit as present as the right hand and bass lines on tracks I thought I knew are now tunefully contributing more to the mix. So far I am thrilled at this upgrade to my system which cost an amount that even a retiree like me can choose to afford. The Transaudio D5 is only worth getting in the Pro version, since it incorporates soft start and protection circuitry that the cheaper non-Pro does not have. Using test discs I now get relatively flat in-room response to 30Hz which is an improvement on before. Greg of the VirtualHiFi channel did a review in English, and Frank of Frank's Werkstatt did a review, teardown and measurement torture test in German. I hope you found this interesting! All the best, Rob in Switzerland

    I fully appreciate that speakers are a matter of personal preference. I particularly like speakers that can integrate the various instruments and vocal (if there is one), much as one would hear if attending a concert. Many modern speakers seem to concentrate too much on detail and separation , which does not sound natural to me.Just because a speaker may look retro does not mean that the components are not modern.

    Thanks for the review. I appreciate real wood veneers on speakers. They Look great in my opinion and don’t have the issues with light reflection and showing fingerprints which are an issue with gloss speakers. I think gloss speakers look great out of the box but are a challenge to keep clean especially with little fingers and hands. I like what Wharfdale is doing with 3-way speakers in great looking real-wood boxes. To answer your question, 50 years into listening to and buying stereo equipment I appreciate retro looks but find the advancements in acoustics especially with speaker technology make old speakers a fond memory instead of the best choice currently to listen to music. I looked at a pair of new JBL L100s because of the retro looks and the fact they were my dream speakers back in the day when I could only dream of having and spending the money required to buy the white-woofered JBLs. I found my currently designed Arendal 1723 towers blew them away at a similar price point listening to the classic rock music that was produced back when the JBLs first came out. I’m prioritizing the sound of music today vs. the looks of yesterday. Rock on!

    . I like the Heresy & the L100 equally for the same reason. The vintage sound of an efficient 3-way with a 12" or 15" paper woofer. However, I lived through the 70's and have seen more than my share of wood paneled walls & orange shag carpet. So I'm so tired of wood veneered loudspeakers I could spin my head & puke pea soup (that's Linda Blair). We also know now the effect of big baffles. Modern acoustics would separate out the 3 drivers, of both models, from a single cabinet into a different, tightly centered, configuration or some such beneficial arrangement. So, same sets of drivers in updated acoustic cabinetry, hardware and finishes. Acid Jazz, Funk & Brass 🔈🔉🔊

    Hi Tarun. I really enjoyed this review. I haven’t seen the Denton’s up close but I have heard their retro big brother Linton’s and was surprised by how cheap their veneer looked, which is odd considering the quality veneer in these speakers! I love vintage HiFi but apart from the Quad ESL 57’s, I don’t think vintage speakers are all that compared to modern speakers. I think the modern technology improves the performance. Having said that, a vintage (or modern) valve amp and horn speakers or open baffle speakers can produce some real magic🎶 Thanks for a great review 👊🏻

    Hi Tarun, that was a tough one, well done! My systems are a mix of old and new and my experience is that age is not a barrier to performance if the equipment is kept current with careful internal attention. Actually I think my E1 is not so much refreshed as completely gutted 😂. The speakers on the end of it are 20 years old and unlike the amp are bog standard. I’m not allowed to change them, however, because the bird’s eye maple veneer under seven coats of hand applied and polished lacquer is a particular favourite of my wife! Even my main system is fronted by a hybrid turntable. A 1990 vintage base with brand new components bringing it up to a modern standard for a fraction of the all new price. I’m a fan of Wharfedale’s latest offerings and I have a suspicion that those looking to tame the modern rush to uber crystalline digital sound will enjoy the lush overtones they provide. I wouldn’t be too hasty to assume that it’s oldies like me either. I recently built a turntable system for a twenty year old and the thing she cooed over most was the wood finish on the Pioneer PL112D turntable, even though no trees were harmed in making it. 😅

    Thanks for this very informative and interesting review. It's not only a presentation of the Super Dentons but also opens up several other topics, like speaker placement issues and vintage gear revival. I was thinking about replacing my Vienna Acoustics Haydns with the Super Dentons, but now I'm not convinced anymore. Regarding the vintage equipment, I've owned a Marantz 2285 receiver. Even though it was my wish to keep it, I finally sold it after a few repairs/restaurations, which did not give any audible results. For me, its sound was pretty muffled and not satisfying (I do know I'm speaking heresy now, but that was my impression). I've bought an Atoll IN100 and never looked back. So, for me, yes to the vintage-looking modern gear, but no to the actual vintage gear.

    Hi, vintage speakers, I have Marantz 6g still in use in one room , been in family from new. The original grills decomposed many years ago. Which makes me wonder about the foam inside. About 20 years ago, the woofer cone glue on voice coil failed. The wood veneer is great. Cone tweeter does beam , but not concerned in that room with position of lounge suites. The bass is boomy even in middle of room and a blur compared to my Dali. Currently is used with a class D Have used with Marantz 1030 ( original partner ) Kenwood 3300 And Teac A30. Still have amps They are what they are 1970s American sound, I love the "Precision crafted in USA" label on the back and the cabinet work.

    I do think, regarding the costs involved that invest in a turntable, a good cartridge and the cost of vinyls nowadays it is pretty much a nostalgia sake. I listened to CDs mainly, only stream with headphones, and I am sure that with decent gear they produce the best sound possible with physical media, or not... Besides the maintenance cost of vinyls, say space, clean the dust every time you spin, even to turn the vinyl every 20 minutes on average are kind of cumbersome. And I love hi fi audio.

    Hi Tarun, you are right that buyers of this speaker will also conciser the looks. And I am OK with that, it has all to do with the Golden Ratio of rectangular s that for instance Q Acoustics speakers so sourly miss. I was a bit surprised about how difficult these speakers are to match to an amp. I can see plenty of people thinking of the Super Denton / Cambridge Audio combo being a good idea. My thoughts about vintage, for me personal it is the only way to go. At any price point a well put together vintage stereo set up blows what ever you can get new, out of the water. I also love the hunting for gems. On the down side, be prepared to get some broken stuff. Specially turntables, I have bought more than 10 of them over time. They all need repair, regardless of what the seller says.

    Not a big fan of these heritage designs I'm afraid, but that does not stop me enjoying your coverage. Being just a couple of months away from being 60, these speakers are not so much 'retro' as 'historic' to me, and I remember most of the heritage speakers the first time round :) I also have a lot of time for Wharfdale, having chosen the Elysian 3's as my end game speakers (unless I win the lottery!), and being extremely happy with that choice. As always, I appreciate your clear discussion of where these speakers sit in the audio landscape and I fully expected them to sound a little warm (lush) and slightly less detailed, but I think that's a part of the sonic character that attracts people to them. I'm using a Mcintosh hybrid integrated with a tube pre-amp section and I'm not sure that would be a good match with these characteristics, but I'm not looking at making that match. Nice to hear your experiences as always!

    Vintage speakers: I have owned a variety of Castle speakers, and currently have a pair of Castle Howard S2 transmission line speakers. Connected to a pair of Exposure 5000 series monoblocks, and a 3000 series integrated amp used purely as a pre amp, the sound is sublime for my listening, mainly classical. They have a proper wood veneer, and look beautiful as furniture as well. They must be 30 or more years old, and I am tempted to have them rebuilt by Wilmslow Audio, but am frightened of losing the intense musicality they currently provide. I'm 66, and don't hear anything above 12kHz these days, but still am acutely aware of timing and the like in recordings. The only speakers that would fit in our living room that I have enjoyed in recent years are PMC Prodigy 5 speakers, but they don't quite have the bass extension of my Howards. Maybe I should investigate other PMC transmission line speakers, and see if some are pleasing both to the ears and the eyes. But, I just don't see any other speakers, in my domestic setup, surpassing the musicality of the Howards. Any ideas, anyone?

    Hi Tarun, The Super Dentons are amazing!! You know, you are completely right about what you said about the speakers. This being said, however, the retro-Wharfedales use very modern materials in the drivers, and their crossovers are 21st Century (and not the producers of UFO and other classics on TV 😂😂😂) materials. As you know, I have the Lintons, and I have been very, very impressed with those speakers with the type of music I love. For rock, pop, and a little funk and disco, the speakers are an insane value. I have a feeling that the Super Denton is similar. Something I have noticed about the Lintons: They require a good bit of power for them to be controlled properly. My Adcom mono-blocs do a much better job of control, than any of then any of the other amps I have tried. I wonder if the Dentons are similar. What I would really love to see, and probably something that would get me to sell my Lintons, is a speaker that is between the Linton and Dovedale. The latter, as you know, are quite expensive. I don't know what they retail for in the UK, but here the Wharfedale Dovedale (if you can get them) are north of $5000 a pair.

    Interesting what you said at the beginning saying that you are not sure about this vintage revival and I have to agree. The issue I have is that it appears that brands have somewhat jumped onto the band wagon and that equals merely a trend. Then again there are some of the brands out their that have revived some real true classics and it says that they should have never stopped producing them in the fist place. So ether purchase the original in tip top condition or go for the higher priced classics and I do believe that is the way to go about it and that is coming from someone who uses a set of British vintage speakers in tip top condition.

    As with the latest Linton, the new Super Denton has a look and name which are highly evocative of the mid-70s for me. I sold a lot more Linton 2s than Denton 2s for the greater bass response, however. These next went on to XP models with smarter plain charcoal grilles. I agree with your observation that PJC has retro-voiced the new ones but I do wonder why. Their sound is too old-fashioned and things have moved on in terms of bass tightn 14:29 ess and mid detail. I hope they do well in any case.

    Wharfdale’s have always sounded good with my Musical Paradise tube gear so I’m sure I can push enough detail out of them. Thanks for the review very informative.

    Personally I love the vintage look; Harbeth, Spendor Classic,Tannoy Legacy, Audio Note and Devore Fidelity are legendary for good reason. From your description of the sonic character of these Wharfedales, visually and sonically I would pair them with the new Yamaha RN1000A streaming amplifier for a no fuss, forgiving system. Thanks for the great review.

    My current system has a Yamaha RX-V850 that is being used as a two channel system and was thinking these would sound just fine with it too or most vintage amplifiers from the eighties with a nice preamp section.

    I do my own research, but since you reviewed the Cambridge Audio CXA61, I want to know if you think it would be good with the Super Dentons. Your comments on different amps not driving the Super Dentons well has me curious. I just got the CXA61 in April. Thanks so much! 👍🏼🎶

    How did you have the speakers placed did you have the mid-range in the middle inner edge or on the outside? on the outside should give you a bit more brightness and less mid-range. Looking at the pictures looks like you had them like that what about the other way around did you try them the other way with the mid range in the middle and the tweet is on the outside? What they need is a ring around the woofer, of 25mm plywood that will help with the base be less boomy more defined especially when they're bought in. somebody wants to try it is an easily mod make sure the ring is not on the surround outer edge but closer to the cone edge before it hits the surround, just on the edge of the cone, you don't want to go any further than that. slightly round off the edge on the inside should increase the lower mid range a bit as well make it more forward and more intense base output, you can apply the Ring with blu tack or use a screws but longer ones or double-sided tape. Looks like your need to use two pieces here! so one piece is overlapping the other giving yourself about 5millimeter gap between the rubber surround or is maximum extension and add millimeter or mount the driver on the inside and as well use a 18 mm ring on the outside

    Can't imagine that the front baffle on these things doesn't crack up more parties than a SWAT team. Not really sure what all these wide-front-baffle guys are thinking with this stuff, unless it's purely an aesthetic choice designed to appeal to a super-super-super retro crowd, and one who doesn't much mind that things have moved on a bit.

    I was excited to see a ATC type midrange in hope that it will have great midrange only to know that this speaker is not giving anything in buckets, basically average. Vintage looks are good especially considering amps like NAD etc but if speaker doesn’t sound good then it’s kinda pointless
