Wharfedale Titan 12D

These are a decent offering from Wharfedale's extensive selection. Twelve-inch active 300 watt speakers in an injection-moulded chassis, these self-powered boxes produce 300 watts of clean sound and are lightweight for ease of lifting onto stands yet rugged enough to be used as floor monitors.

The speakers are bi-amped, which gives great protection for highs and lows, and there are a bunch of connections for various inputs that even allow you to plug a mic directly into the back for PA work. The old Ds seemed a little more intense but when looking at the specs, you'll notice a distinct reduction in distortion and a much more defined output from these new Ds. These would easily be at home in a church or community hall, will handle a local DJ with ease and deliver it all with clarity in a box that's great value for money.
