The Bristol Hi-Fi Exhibition perennially serves as a splendid opportunity for laymen and aficionados alike to feast their eyes upon the delectable array of state-of-the-art auditory equipment. As in past iterations, this year has seen a multitude of novel hardware introductions, the crème de la crème arguably being Wharfedale’s fervently anticipated Super Denton bookshelf speakers.

Unveiled amid a crescendo of media interest, the Wharfedale Super Denton is the latest feather in the cap of the manufacturer’s lauded Heritage Series, a product line that splendidly marries the company’s illustrious British heritage with cutting-edge ingenuity. The Super Denton is an elegant homage to its predecessor – the original Wharfedale Denton. This vintage-imbued standmounter garnered effusive praise from critics and consumers alike for its lustrous, full-bodied sound, which was unfailingly delivered with a dash of flair and sophistication.

Akin to an unmistakable work of Picasso, the Super Denton strikes a melodious chord in even the most discerning audiophile with its aesthetically unique three-way driver design. Each driver is situated in an offset pattern, adding an eccentric touch to the speakers whilst enhancing sound propagation. Those with more conservative tastes need not fret, for the inclusion of detachable grilles allows one to streamline the aesthetic appeal of this speaker set whilst maintaining their acoustic prowess.
