Replaced a pair of Audioengine A5 - volume control broke. Paired with NAD D 3020 amp, couldn't be more happier. Like other reviews, speakers still sound good at low volume. Music is much or dynamic and

We love the Wharfedale Diamond 220s, and we're not shy about saying so. As if giving them an Award wasn't enough, we have previously used language such as ‘best-sounding budget speakers on the market'. So imagine our excitement when we learned we would get to try them in a surround package.

The Diamond 220 HCP is a 5.1 standmount speaker package and the successor to the brilliant Diamond 100 HCP system launched in 2013.
