1932
In 1932, when Gilbert Briggs founded the Wharfedale Wireless Works, his company was at the
leading edge of an exciting new technology which was dedicated to bringing the pleasure of
music and entertainment to a wide range of people. As the technology advanced Wharfedale
gave many music lovers their first taste of High Fidelity, mounting a series of live sound
demonstrations which excited the audio world and heralded the era of the modern hi-fi
loudspeaker.
Today Wharfedale still takes the same uncompromising approach to the design and manufacture
of every loudspeaker system, using high quality components and state-of-the-art testing to
ensure consistently high performance. And that means that you can continue to count on the
quality of all Wharfedale products.
