WHARFEDALE EVO 4.4

Pre owned. In excellent condition. No visible signs of wear. Original packaging not included.

The Wharfedale EVO 4.4 represents the modern evolution of floorstanding speakers, combining refined design, carefully selected materials, and advanced technologies to deliver an exceptional listening experience. At the heart of the system is the Air Motion Transformer (AMT) unit, developed based on the technology used in Wharfedale’s flagship ELYSIAN models. This innovative driver uses a lightweight, pleated diaphragm, precisely controlled by strategically positioned magnets, ensuring constant airflow management. The result is extremely low distortion, exceptionally clear musical detail, and a natural, lifelike sound.

The dual bass drivers, constructed with woven Kevlar® cones and low-loss rubber surrounds, provide deep, powerful bass without compromising midrange quality, while the soft fabric midrange dome, equipped with a damped rear chamber, ensures smooth transitions between frequency ranges and a linear response from 800 Hz to 5 kHz. The high-flux magnet in the midrange dome delivers fast, precise dynamic response, capturing every musical nuance and providing wide dispersion so that details are audible from anywhere in the room.

Low frequencies are further optimized by the exclusive SLPP (Slot-Loaded Profiled Port) system, which channels the bass energy to a slot at the base of the cabinet, equalizing internal and room pressure, improving reflex efficiency, and reducing distortion. This approach, inherited from the ELYSIAN models, ensures powerful, controlled, and natural bass.

Driver integration is managed by an advanced computer-modeled crossover, fine-tuned through hundreds of hours of listening, designed to ensure seamless blending between the units. The crossover components are selected for maximum sonic transparency, including high-quality polypropylene capacitors and silicon-iron and air-core inductors, arranged on a PCB engineered to minimize electromagnetic interference.

The cabinet structure, inspired by the ELYSIAN series, provides a stable, solid foundation for the drivers, with radiused edges that help integrate the drivers’ output with the room’s acoustics. Together, these elements make the Wharfedale EVO 4.4 capable of delivering music with remarkable precision, outstanding detail, and engaging dynamics, ideal for both critical listening and everyday enjoyment.
