The Wharfedale EVO 5 Series: Flagship Sound, Accessible Price

The Wharfedale EVO 5 series is a testament to groundbreaking audio engineering, born from the same rigorous research as Wharfedale’s top-tier Elysian project. It's designed to deliver a high-end audio experience that's surprisingly affordable.

The Revolutionary EVO AMT High-Frequency Unit

At the heart of the EVO 5 series' exceptional sound lies the EVO AMT (Air Motion Transformer) high-frequency unit. This isn't your typical tweeter. Unlike conventional dome or cone designs that push air, the AMT uses a pleated diaphragm that rapidly expands and contracts. This unique "squeezing" motion moves four times more air than a traditional tweeter of the same size, resulting in:

• Exceptional accuracy and speed
• Ultra-low distortion producing cleaner, more natural highs
• Wider frequency range and better dispersion for a consistent soundstage

To further refine this technology, Wharfedale has incorporated Silentweave™, a new sound-absorbing material made from a cotton and felt fibre blend. Positioned behind the diaphragm, Silentweave™ minimises internal sound wave reflection and colorisation, ensuring an even purer, more natural sonic signature.

Advanced Damping for Pristine Sound

All EVO 5 drive units benefit from ResoFrame™, a new acoustic damping frame crafted from elastomer. Visible as a cog-like shape on the driver's front panel, ResoFrame™ significantly reduces mechanical resonances. For the AMT, an additional elastomer damping gasket between the diaphragm and front plate further smooths the response, particularly in the crucial lower treble band. These internal acoustic enhancements work in harmony to minimise unwanted sound colorisation, delivering a **crisp, controlled, and harshness-free treble response.

Enhanced Midrange and Bass for Engaging Vocals

Wharfedale has also refined the lower-midrange and bass performance with Resoseal™. This innovative technique involves applying a thin elastomer mass ring to the rear of the cone where it meets the surround. This subtle yet critical enhancement optimises midrange frequency response, making vocals sound richer, more natural, and emotionally engaging. Prepare for a truly immersive listening experience where every voice comes to life.

Reengineered Cabinetry for Superior Resonance Control

Each EVO 5 series model boasts an optimally increased internal cabinet volume. This expansion contributes to deeper bass extension and improved overall sound dispersion, creating a more immersive and expansive audio field. Furthermore, the inclusion of a hybrid plinth, combining metal and wood elements, significantly enhances structural integrity and reduces unwanted vibrations. This innovative base ensures your sound remains clean and uncoloured, free from any external resonance artefacts.

Whether you're an audiophile seeking nuanced musical expression or a casual listener desiring clarity and depth, the EVO 5 series promises an immersive, high-fidelity experience that rivals far more expensive high-end audio offerings.

We endeavour to despatch same day for orders placed up to 1pm on available stock items (items with stock message "Usually dispatched within 24 hours"). Please remember to check with us first for a physical stock check if next day delivery is important to you. Any items with stock message "Usually dispatched within 72 hours" are items that we do not hold in stock but order in from the importer or manufacturer as soon as a customer order is received. Occasionally these may be delayed beyond 72 hours due to importer/manufacturer stock levels but we will inform you as soon as we can if this is the case.

Non Mainland locations - Isle of Man, Isle of Wight, the Scilly Isles, the Scottish highlands and Islands, the Channel Islands and Northern Ireland may take a day or so longer and are not Free of Charge. Smaller items are delivered using Royal Mail 24 or special delivery. Larger items are delivered using a courier service such as DPD or UPS.

International Orders

Due to the nature of our products and brand restrictions we are only able to send certain items internationally. Smaller items are delivered using Royal Mail Small Packets Airmail with International Tracked and/or Signed depending on value of item and availability of the service. Larger International shipments are sent by insured and tracked services using UPS. If there are any delays due to specific customs regulations, etc, you will be contacted by Hifisound or by the courier with a request for any further information required. Customs duties can apply for shipments to any countries outside of the UK depending on where the product you have bought is made. Customers are responsible for all taxes and duties incurred when the items enter their country.

Collect in Store or Home Install

At the request of the manufacturer some items cannot be supplied by mail order but you can click and buy them and then elect to collect them from our store or arrange a home install (if applicable). Applicable items clearly state that they are Collect in store or home install.
