Wharfedale S-1000, S-1500, S-2500 manual Introduction

S-1000, S-2500, S-1500 specifications

Wharfedale, a name synonymous with high-quality audio equipment, offers a compelling lineup of speakers designed to elevate your listening experience. Among their popular models are the S-2500, S-1000, and S-1500, each embodying state-of-the-art technology and features that cater to audiophiles and casual listeners alike.

The Wharfedale S-2500 is a noteworthy floor-standing speaker that combines elegant design with impressive acoustic performance. It features a 6.5-inch woven polypropylene woofer, which delivers deep, controlled bass response, while a 1-inch silk dome tweeter ensures crystal-clear highs. The cabinet is crafted from MDF and finished in a stylish veneer, minimizing resonance and maximizing sound clarity. With a frequency response that spans from 38 Hz to 20 kHz, the S-2500 fills larger rooms with immersive sound, making it an ideal choice for home theater setups and music lovers who seek rich, full-bodied audio.

Next in the lineup is the Wharfedale S-1000, a compact bookshelf speaker that packs an impressive punch despite its smaller form factor. Equipped with a 5-inch bass driver and a 1-inch soft dome tweeter, the S-1000 offers a well-balanced sound profile that excels in both music and dialogue clarity. Its innovative bass-reflex design enhances low-frequency extension, providing surprising depth for its size. The S-1000 is perfect for smaller spaces and can be easily integrated into various setups, whether as part of a multi-room audio system or as standalone units on a shelf.

Lastly, the S-1500 stands out as a versatile option that bridges the gap between the floor-standing S-2500 and the bookshelf S-1000. With its 6.5-inch woofer and 1-inch tweeter, the S-1500 is designed to deliver a dynamic soundstage, making it equally suited for music playback and movie watching. It incorporates a rear-firing bass port, which enhances low-end performance, resulting in a robust and engaging listening experience.

All three models utilize Wharfedale's proprietary technologies, including advanced crossover design that ensures a seamless transition between drivers. This attention to detail in engineering allows for a coherent and immersive soundstage, no matter the listening environment. Whether you're deep into a cinematic experience or enjoying your favorite album, the Wharfedale S-2500, S-1000, and S-1500 speakers deliver exceptional audio performance, blending aesthetics and acoustics to suit a wide range of preferences.
