Created to celebrate the 90th anniversary of Wharfedale and inspired by the model of the same name marketed by the British brand in 1959 (an improved version was launched on the market in 1965), the Dovedale is an elegant speaker that exemplifies like few others the concept of timeless design in audio components, finished off by a careful touch of modernity and cutting-edge technology. Thus, the critical analysis of the enclosure has made it possible to use internal reinforcements of precise shape and position to guarantee that its resonances are kept under control well below the level of the musical signal, thus preventing potential colorations from interfering with listening. Exquisitely hand-veneered with high-quality wood, the Dovedale uses a three-way, three-speaker bass-reflex configuration that is accompanied by next-generation engineering tricks in order to optimize the soundstage. Hence, both the midrange and treble transducers are offset on the front panel to disperse reflections from the edges of the cabinet and provide superior focus on the stereo image, with the Wharfedales supplied in carefully selected pairs so that voices and instruments are always precisely positioned in the sound field.
