If you're after a 'wicked boom box' to smash out some 'banging tunes', then Wharfedale's new Super Denton is not for you. The irony is that it can do this rather well, yet its real strength is simply reproducing what's on the recording with as few vices as possible at the price. To some, that might seem bland, but the adults in the room will love what it does relative to its retail cost. So whether you love or hate the retro styling, this is well worth an audition.

Lurking behind the retro facade of the Super Denton is one of the more genuinely interesting and capable speakers for sale at the price point. The decision to fit a dedicated midrange driver and arrange it as Wharfedale has here has created a speaker that is extremely talented and a must audition at the price point.

If you listen to music that demands excellent tonal reproduction and soundstaging, the unique driver fitment and layout of the Super Denton gives it abilities that are above and beyond any price-comparable alternative
