Revel Performa4 F345 vs Wharfedale EVO 5.4

Short answer: the Revel Performa4 F345 for better sound quality, the Wharfedale EVO 5.4 for the lower price. The Revel Performa4 F345 ranks #57 of 226 floorstanding speakers, rated 4.4/5, at $4,999.90. The Wharfedale EVO 5.4 ranks #70, rated 4.3/5, at $2,299, $2,700.90 cheaper.

Why pick the Revel Performa4 F345: The smaller Performa4 tower, a 3-way with three 5.25” ceramic composite woofers, a dedicated 5.25” midrange and a 1” ceramic dome tweeter in Revel’s Acoustic Lens waveguide (crossovers at 350Hz and 2.1kHz). The catch: No independent measurements yet, so its tonal balance and directivity can’t be compared directly with measured speakers; the rating is estimated from the measured Performa3 towers.

The case for the Wharfedale EVO 5.4: Flagship 3-way floorstander in the EVO 5 line equipped with dual 6.5-inch Kevlar woofers, a 2-inch soft dome midrange, and a 35x70mm AMT ribbon tweeter. The catch: Rating estimated based on EVO 5 series sibling testing.

Buy the Revel Performa4 F345 if sound quality is the priority over the price, or the Wharfedale EVO 5.4 if the price is the priority over sound quality.

About the ratings: neither speaker has been measured yet, so both ratings are estimated from measured siblings and predecessors (likely ranges: Revel Performa4 F345 4.0 to 4.7; Wharfedale EVO 5.4 4.1 to 4.5). Treat this verdict as provisional.

Same family: the Revel Performa4 M145 (smaller bookshelf, estimated 4.3/5), the Revel Performa4 M146 (larger bookshelf, estimated 4.5/5), the Revel Performa4 F346 (larger floorstanding, ranked higher, estimated 4.5/5) and the Revel Performa4 C245 (center, estimated 4/5). See every Revel Performa generation.

Pros: The smaller Performa4 tower, a 3-way with three 5.25” ceramic composite woofers, a dedicated 5.25” midrange and a 1” ceramic dome tweeter in Revel’s Acoustic Lens waveguide (crossovers at 350Hz and 2.1kHz). Bass reaches 36Hz (-6dB), deep enough for most music without a subwoofer. The Revel F206 it follows measured a 5.51 Spinorama preference score.

Cons: No independent measurements yet, so its tonal balance and directivity can’t be compared directly with measured speakers; the rating is estimated from the measured Performa3 towers. Sensitivity is 87dB with a 6 ohm load, so modest receivers can run out of headroom in larger rooms.
