Has Wharfedale made some sort of mistake with the Aura 3’s price? That’s our first thought as we unpacked these elegant floorstanders. Few rivals at this level look as luxurious or as comprehensively engineered. This is a great start given that the Aura range is designed to distil the character and quality of the high-end Elysian series into a more affordable and easier-to-accommodate form.
The Aura range currently consists of four models of stereo speakers (split evenly between standmounters and towers) and a pair of dedicated centre speakers. The Wharfedale Aura 3 on test here is the smaller of the two floorstanders and the one more likely to be used in modestly-sized UK homes.
