Wharfedale Aston Heritage Limited Edition
Loudspeakers
Relative price
typical
Among the 26 loudspeakerss in the catalogue, this one is typical.
A band places a component against its peers and carries no price. It is deliberately the only price indicator on this page: a second one, measured against a different set, would narrow the two together far enough to give the figure away.
What it is
