An Entry-Level High-End Tower Loudspeaker Built for Music and Movies: Lively-Sounding Wharfedale Crystal CR 4.3 Features Five-Inch Kevlar Midrange and 6.5-Inch Woven Poly Woofer Wharfedale takes more than 85 years of loudspeaker-building expertise and invests it the Crystal CR 4.3 tower speaker , a three-way model that functions as an entry-level high-end floorstander while selling for the cost of a small bookshelf speaker.

Where inferior polypropylene drivers can distort under the stress of highly dynamic music and soundtracks, Wharfedale engineers use compacted woven polypropylene – a technique in which aligned polypropylene fibers get added in a matrix of thermoformed polypropylene. The method yields a much stronger drive unit and lowers distortion. It's another example of why few audio companies match Wharfedale's longevity and knowledge – and resultant trickle-down technology. CR 4.3 serves as a wonderful dedicated two-chann
