Speakers - Wharfedale Diamond 12.3 - Floorstanding Speakers

Configured in a 2.5 way system with exception crossover technology, the DIAMOND 12.3 utilises dual 130mm (5”) Klarity drivers for impactful yet refined mid-range and bass frequencies, while the 25mm (1”) dome tweeter delivers open and smoothly extended high frequencies.

Cables - Chord Company LeylineX Speaker Cables

Chord Leyline speaker cable came into being during the first wave of home A/V set-ups. Amplifiers for all rooms were often fitted in one place. This meant long (and sometimes very long) runs of speaker cable throughout the structure. It also meant that the cable had to be discrete and affordable.

There were already a lot of cheap cables available, so Chord needed to develop something better. Size restrictions meant using 16AWG conductors. Long runs meant using a twisted pair design. Cost ruled out silver-plating or using PTFE, so after much thought we settled on oxygen free copper conductors and low-density polyethylene insulation for conductors.

Technical Specifications

• Conductor: Tinned Stranded Oxygen Free Copper
• Insulation: HD-PE
• Configuration: Twisted pair
• Shielding: None. Low smoke, zero halogen, outer jacket
• AWG: 16AWG*1P, 19/29AWG
• mm2: 1.31
• Diameter: 6mm
