If there’s anything consistent in my life, it’s the Diamond 225. But the 225s are still in rotation-steadfast, loyal, pleasant. I’ve gone through other speakers, other components, new music, a new house, all that life stuff. Wharfedale hit it out of the park with the 225s, so much so that I still really like them. And I have to admit, I’m really excited to get to listen to the 11.1s, although I can’t get that past review of the 225s out of my head. Three new floorstanders and two new center speakers round out that series and run the gamut in terms of pricing, although they’re still incredibly reasonable by hi-fi standards. It’s the middle level of the three available stand-mounts in the updated Diamond 11 line. I’m mentioning the 225s because I was just sent Wharfedale’s new Diamond 11.1 bookshelf speaker ($499). They do everything I want a speaker of that price point to do. Not out of nostalgia or anything like that, but because the Diamond 225s are a very solid reference speaker, especially for entry-level stand-mounts. That was my very first review, and I still break out that pair every once in a while. It’s been barely a year since I first listened to the Wharfedale Diamond 225.
