   Great sounding speakers. At first, I was hesitant but Mr Anil persuaded me to buy this. I am happy with the overall sound quality and looks.

   I was looking for a pair of bookshelf speakers which were small (space constraints), and were easy to drive (my Cambridge amp puts out 35 WRMS per channel). I had short listed the Polk Audio S15 & this speaker. I auditioned the Polks; very good speakers, but a tad bright. I was unable to audition these speakers, so I spoke with Anil. He convinced me that these speakers would meet my requirements. So, I took a leap of faith and ordered them without auditioning.
   The delivery , and packaging were very good. As far as the speakers go, they are small, and look very good. Instead of a single grille, they have twin grills, one for each driver. It has a downward firing port; this is claimed to permit positioning close to the rear wall; it worked just fine. There were no issues about positioning them. The imaging and sound stage are very good. The mids are excellent; the highs are detailed without being harsh, and the bass was the big surprise. For a small speaker with a 5″ driver, the bass was really good; accurate and tight. It handled all genres of music effortlessly. Despite their small size, they could be played really loud without distortion. The overall sound is slightly warm, (compliments the very British sound of the Cambridge amp). You can listen to these speakers all day without feeling fatigued.
   Two minor cons; the speaker grilles are NOT magnetic, and the binding posts are vertical! Horizontal binding posts would have made the speaker wire connection simpler. These are very minor issues.
   To sum up; these are great speakers, that punch way above their weight. Definitely worth checking out.

   The Wharfedale 320 speakers reached me today. The speakers are definitely value for money and sound good with my Yamaha RN303.

   What needs to be really mentioned is the way these arrived. Packed very very well. No damages whatsoever. Thank you for your prompt and wonderful service 🙏We

   These have to the most “un-Wharfedale-like” speakers that I’ve ever heard from Wharfedale – in a surprisingly good way!

   Wharfedale’s Diamond series of speakers have always been known for their lush midrange and musicality, always on the warm side of neutral. The D320s however, in a departure from that tradition, are some of the most analytical & neutral speakers that I’ve heard from Wharfedale’s budget range, with a frequency response that sounds more or less flat across the frequency range.

   The highs are clear without sounding harsh or overtly bright, and the bass is tight and accurate without ever sounding flabby – something that seemed to plague the Diamond 11.1s with certain genres of music.

   While they do not possess the lush and buttery smooth mid-range that the Diamonds before (11.1s and 220s) were famous for, the mid-range is still the strength of this speaker, and continues to be it’s defining feature.

   I guess this is owing to the fact that these were designed to be used for both stereo as well as home theatre applications, and so they have tried to make this speaker as neutral as they could – without losing the characteristic, warm sound signature of Wharfedale speakers with an emphasis on clarity of the mid-range.

   Build quality is very good, and the cabinet has a reassuring heft to it, and seems to be very rigid and inert for the price point. In fact, it feels substantially more solid and rigidly built than the QA 3020is.

   Aesthetics won’t please everyone, as they obviously don’t have the classic timeless elegance of the Diamond 220s or 11.1s.

   I run these with a Yamaha R-N303, and the slightly warm sound of the Yamaha amp compliments this well. It is not quite as energetic and forward/bright as the JBL Stage A130 for rock and heavy metal; but it is surprisingly neutral to all genres of music and never gets fatiguing. I suspect the D320s will go rather well with warmer amp like the Marantz PM6006, although I’m yet to test it with that.

   All in all, a great alternative to the likes of the JBL A130 or the Polk S15, if you prefer a slightly warmer sound and a not so in-your-face presentation for music and movies alike.

   They did require a fair bit of run in though before they began to deliver to their potential though.

   I am a big fan of the D300 speakers. They are extremely well made with a premium feel and look. They are also very easy to install and setup. The sound quality is incredible, I was blown away by the sound.
