The Denton 85th Heritage is a two-way standmount loudspeaker — a compact British classic celebrating 85 years of Wharfedale, with a real-wood veneer cabinet and retro styling. A 6.5" (165 mm) woven Kevlar cone bass/mid driver and a 1" (25 mm) soft-dome tweeter deliver a warm, full-bodied sound.

A vented-box 13.5 L cabinet crossing over at 3.1 kHz gives the Denton a 45 Hz – 20 kHz response and a 95 dB peak SPL, pairing vintage looks and a cloth grille with modern Kevlar driver technology. At 88 dB sensitivity and a 4 Ω nominal impedance (3.8 Ω minimum), it suits amplifiers from 20 to 120 W.

It is the compact classic of the Heritage Collection, alongside the larger three-way Linton. See all our bookshelf speakers.

Wharfedale Australia is the official, AVR-authorised distributor — every Denton 85th Heritage is backed by genuine Australian warranty and local support.
