The new Denton 1S continues this tradition, but focuses not simply on the general image of older models, but on one specific loudspeaker – the 1974 Wharfedale Denton 1. In the early 1970s, the home audio market began to change: buyers were increasingly paying attention not only to sound, but also to the design of their equipment. Against the background of traditional speakers finished in wood veneer, the Denton 1 looked noticeably bolder. It received a more modern appearance, was designed for various placement options and was offered as a more affordable alternative within the brand’s range.
