I recently purchased a pair of Wharfedale Diamond 12.4 floorstanders. This is my first performance with Wharfedale as well as a first for floorstanders. These were recommended to me and I am so glad they were. I'm hearing things in music I've listened to for years that I've never noticed before. I fund myself listening to them for hours on end. And I don't think that they're even broken in yet

IAG have taken Wharfedale to new heights. The last 10 years they haven't put a foot wrong. The Diamond 220/225 is still a masterpiece.

Wow... fancy! I've never heard any "Wharfdale" speakers before. I have the Klipsch R-51M bookshelf speakers. I'd love to hear a set. Great video buddy. 💯

Thanks for you review <br>What would you but from this list id you wanted fun and enjoyable sound for years (Debut 3 - Q acoustics 5020 - aurora Xt300 or 12.2i) they all are under 500 in germany

Great comparison! I was kind of trapped indoors a lot the last few days and have been watching videos. We got down to -27 degrees F which might be -32 C where you live. Thanks for the welcome distraction! LOL BTW I've never even considered bi amping. Seems like a lot of work.

Great review, thank god there is only one set of binding posts. I could never understand putting an amplifier on the tweeter binding posts . When the tweeter needs almost no power to drive it.pre power is the way to go . But that’s just my opinion.

Good Review, I bought my first Wharfedale speakers in 2014, the Diamond 220s, which still have a wonderful sound for classical music. In December 2025, I decided to buy the Wharfedale 12.2i and was surprised by the sound, as it's more open and suited to my taste, working well for all types of music. You can have good speakers without spending a lot of money. And the Wharfedale 12.2i, with 120w, performs perfectly without distorting the sound and does the job wonderfully well.

Thank you for the nice review. I am interested in the 2025 diamond 9.1. I know they are certainly not as weighty as the 12.2is, but do they have the same clarity and transparency as the 12.2i? Many thanks
