Wharfedale DOVEDALE Speakers

Celebrating 90 years of bringing the world's finest loudspeakers to the world of home audio, today Wharfedale engineers continue the dictum of utilising technology where it truly matters to develop loudspeakers that reveal the passion and excitement behind the musical performance.

We believe that a connoisseur of sound would find the merest flow intolerable, and with a connoisseur in mind, we have re-designed and built the new 'Dovedale'. If you are such a listener, you will recognise the significance of - and then insist on possessing - the control, performance and sheer quality reflected in this fine speaker. 

A True Classic

Dovedale has an unmistakable family resemblance. It is a three-way standmount model – a rarity in the modern era, retaining similar proportions to the classic Dovedale models of yesteryear. Its wood-veneered cabinet has a vintage look, yet the standard of finish is distinctly contemporary – a tribute to the skilled craftsmanship required to produce such a loudspeaker.

The original Dovedale models – dating back to the W2 in 1959, which was updated to the W2 / Dovedale in 1965 – were well known for their rich and natural sound quality. The new model retains these attributes but upgrades the performance in every department, with free-breathing dynamics and incredible definition across the bass and midrange.

A celebration of the Landmark goth anniversary of the Wharfedale brand. The Wharfedale Dovedale is more than just a reintroduction of a classic model. This is a speaker that exudes authenticity. Designed to appeal to the dedicated music-lover.

Listening Makes Perfect

The highly researched crossover has been subjected to 1000s of hours of listening tests to perfect the coherent, seamless musical output that is both thrilling and natural in its rendition of any source material.

Wharfedale’s Director of Acoustic Design, Peter Comeau, has worked tirelessly to ensure a seamless integration between the drive units, so the speaker behaves as one music making system.
