Dentons

That is amazing for a 3 way build with no waveguide. Easily better than a Wharfedale Super Denton.

Wharfedale isn't playing around! I've not heard one yet that doesn't stun and please me. Tremendous value! Super Dentons are my end-game speaker for my den. Trying to buy less new records to save up.

I don’t have any info, but the Dentons may be based on one of their commercial speakers, or drivers, set up for a home environment. You might look at their commercial line too, might be a bit more r
