Description from the seller
The Wharfedale Valdus 400 is a floorstanding speaker from Wharfedale, a British audio brand renowned for its high-quality speakers and audio equipment. The Valdus series was popular in the 1990s and is well-regarded for its performance and value in home audio systems.
DESCRIPTION:
Wharfedale Valdus 400 is a three-way speaker system of bass-reflex type. The bass-reflex port adorns the faceplate. The speaker systems are impressively designed, perhaps even catchy, but in taste and without cheapness. In addition, the plastic contours of the front panel look acoustically appropriate. The dimensions are 800x250x264 mm. The diameter of the high-frequency dome is 30 mm, the woofers have dimensions of 205 mm each. Music power is 150W.
The left part looks very presentable: a flat, monotonous line to the top of a moderate peak at 130 Hz and then a firm adherence of the chosen half-value line (± 2 dB) as the frequency increases. All of these are evidence of the system’s high class. There are no serious comments up to 10 kHz—only a local reduction of sensitivity at 2 kHz.
The behavior of the curved line in the area from 10 to 20 kHz is a bit disquieting, because the frequency response unevenness noticeably increases. It seems that the observed features of the system characterize it as having quite a high degree of individuality. Moreover, these individual characteristics should not be considered disadvantages. This is exactly the kind of case when music lovers begin to painfully mince words and search for them in spaces of visual images and mental associations.
The Valdus 400 speaker systems sound beautiful; many will love their interpretation of the musical image. The system is very low-directivity (a vast area of stereo effect) which allows using it for public events such as collective auditions, home concerts, and discos. The sensitivity is high—91 dB. The input impedance characteristic and the range of additional measurements give a bass-reflex tuning frequency of 40 Hz. In accordance with the technical description, the nominal impedance of the speaker systems is 6 Ohms.
Om dit product goed te leveren wordt het zorgvuldig ingepakt in zeer sterke dozen, daarbij ingepakt in noppenfolie met veel opvulmateriaal. Wij gebruiken voornamelijk plastic als opvulmateriaal, maar mocht het anders gewenst zijn, neem graag contact op. Het pakket wordt verzekerd verzonden om zowel de koper als verkoper te beschermen. Bij verdere inpak wensen graag berichten na aankoop. Foto’s dienen als extra omschrijving van de staat van het product / van de staat van de display & leds. Bekijk deze goed voor aankoop. Bestellingen naar eilanden of speciale bestemmingen hebben hogere verzendkosten, bijvoorbeeld Canarische Eilanden
