![]() | Sound EVOlved Heavenly high-end sound at refreshingly down-to-earth prices is the promise fulfilled by the new EVO 5 Series from Wharfedale, Britain’s best-known loudspeaker brand. The new range replaces the EVO 4 Series, a consistent best-seller since its launch in 2019. EVO 4 saw a complete redesign for Wharfedale’s mid-tier EVO concept, benefitting from technologies created for the flagship Elysian project. The result was a level of loudspeaker engineering not previously seen at such accessible prices, encompassing AMT treble units, domed midrange drivers and sophisticated cabinets with clever slot-loaded ports. |
![]() | The new EVO 5 Series takes the blueprint established by EVO 4 and elevates it across the board. The range comprises five models: two standmount speakers (EVO 5.1 and 5.2), two floorstanders (EVO 5.3 and 5.4) and a home cinema centre speaker (EVO 5.C). Outwardly, a design refresh presents a more contemporary appearance; internally, every detail has been revised to enhance performance. Like the equivalent models from the preceding range, both floorstanders and the larger of the two standmounters are three-way designs, incorporating dedicated domed midrange drivers. But while the driver configurations echo the previous generation, the new speakers are a little larger, allowing for greater cabinet volumes, upgraded drivers and new crossovers. |
![]() | In contrast to many speaker manufacturers, Wharfedale designs and makes almost all component parts itself. This ensures complete freedom to create a perfectly synergetic loudspeaker without having to mix and match parts made by third parties. It also allows absolute control over key elements such as drive units and the ability to develop evolutionary changes from one generation to the next. These benefits have been fully exploited in the development of the EVO 5 Series, devising ways to improve every element of EVO 4 and deliver an even more accomplished ‘whole’ through acoustic engineering of the highest standard, whilst maintaining highly competitive price points. |
![]() | A few Words from Peter Comeau Peter Comeau, Director of Acoustic Design at Wharfedale, commented on the development of the EVO 5 Series: Peter Comeau, Director of Acoustic Design at Wharfedale, commented on the development of the EVO 5 Series: “The EVO 4 Series has enjoyed remarkable success over the past six years, consistently earning accolades and topping sales charts. When it came time to develop its successor, a complete redesign wasn’t the answer. Instead, we focused on a thoughtful evolution—true to the ‘EVO’ name—refining what already worked so well while finding new ways to elevate performance.” “The EVO 4 Series was already engineered to an exceptional standard, especially given its accessible price point. For the EVO 5 Series, we’ve reworked cabinet volumes, redesigned crossovers, and applied advanced techniques and materials to the drive units. These updates result in significant sonic improvements and aesthetic refinements, all while keeping cost increases to a minimum.” “Designed for discerning music lovers who value detail, dynamics, and emotional connection, the EVO 5 Series delivers a listening experience that goes beyond expectations—with outstanding clarity, rich textures, and an immersive soundstage.”
