WHARFEDALE

ASTON Heritage Stand

Founded in 1932, Wharfedale’s founder, Gilbert Briggs, had one goal in mind – to bring music into the home by designing loudspeakers that conveyed the impact, thrill and emotion of performance in an entirely natural and realistic way.
Thus he created the first true Hi-Fi experience for connoisseurs of music in the home and continued to introduce technology that would enhance the listening experience – like the first commercial crossover, foam surrounds and the slot port system.
Today Wharfedale engineers follow the same dictum, utilising technology where it truly matters to develop loudspeakers that reveal the passion and excitement behind the musical performance.
We believe that a connoisseur of sound would find the merest flow intolerable, and with a connoisseur in mind, we have built the ‘ASTON’. If you are such a listener, you will recognise the significance of – and then insist on possessing – the control performance and sheer quality reflected in this fine speaker.
Manufactured by highly trained, vastly experienced loudspeaker experts at the headquarters of Wharfedale, in Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire – ASTON is built in the home of British Hi-Fi.

Made in the UK

The Wharfedale ASTON exemplifies Wharfedale’s legacy in fine loudspeaker design and manufacturing; balancing fine craftsmanship and natural sound quality. Designed by Wharfedale’s Director of Acoustic Design, Peter Comeau, ASTON has been developed as a ‘Signature’ model for the Wharfedale ‘Made in UK’ Heritage seres, and is limited edition of a mere 500 pairs!
A compact stand-mount loudspeaker, the ASTON achieves standards of control and performance associated with far more complex and imposing designs. From the bottom up, ASTON has been engineered to offer something above the ordinary. Designed, engineered and manufactured in the UK, ASTON is a traditional two- way vented-box model, that exemplifies the values, characteristics and musical delivery that Wharfedale is famous for.

Making a Stand

The matching ASTON stand is also made in England, from hardened high-carbon British Steel. Presenting the ASTON loudspeaker with elegance and delicacy, the stand is custom engineered for the optimum listening experience. Matching the furniture-grade cabinets, the ASTON stand is finished with a classy touch in the form of a luxurious glass insert, for arguably the most attractive loudspeaker and plinth combination.
