Wharfedale ASTON – a New Classic

The wood-veneered cabinets of the new Wharfedale ASTON bookshelf loudspeakers immediately catch the eye – but “on board” such a strict classic solution is a whole bunch of innovations. The model is equipped with a 6" (150 mm) brand-new Mid/Bass driver with a diffuser made of Carbon Fibre. The driver is mounted in a rigid, cast chassis, which eliminates unwanted resonances as much as possible.

A new 1" (25 mm) soft dome tweeter is responsible for high frequencies, selected as a result of numerous tests and ideally matching the frequency range of the main driver. Computer modeling, the multi-layer cabinet design and audiophile crossovers are the cherries on the cake.

Wharfedale ASTON offers a sound pressure of 96 dB, has a sensitivity of 86 dB at a nominal impedance of 4 Ohms with a minimum of 3.9 Ohms. With an error of 3 dB, the loudspeakers provide a frequency response within 55 Hz – 20 kHz, and at -6 dB they play from 44 Hz – which is really impressive for 10.8 liter enclosures.
