"These latest generation Diamonds are real star performers - certainly good enough to scare the established competition" "In the case of the 8.3s,Wharfedale has done a great job of combining the extra weight with accuracy –ensuring that these floorstanding designs are true stars at the price."

"This has to be one of the most refined budget cinema systems we've heard at the price." "Listening to the Diamond 8.1s, it's hard to find oneself repeating a mantra under one's breath.

"Instantly set the level to which its rivals must now aspire."

"Off-axis performance is one of this masterpiece's special party tricks."

"The 8.1 makes such good use of free space that you'll swear you were listening to a dipole made by QUAD"

"The image floated in front of me: truly holographic, utterly vivid"

"the 8.1s continued to astonish with a soundstage so wide and deep that one listener thought he was hearing the massive Apogee Scintillas sitting behind the diamonds...What almost 'sounded like £10,000 per pair' was the stage width, depth and image placement within the sound stage"
