#40 Wharfedale EVO 5.C: $1,298 per pair Estimated Music Direct eBay

Same family: the Wharfedale EVO 5.1 (smaller bookshelf, estimated 3.9/5), the Wharfedale EVO 5.2 (larger bookshelf, estimated 4.1/5), the Wharfedale EVO 5.3 (smaller floorstanding, estimated 4.2/5) and the Wharfedale EVO 5.4 (larger floorstanding, estimated 4.3/5).

Pros: The center of the EVO 5 range, with the AMT tweeter of the Wharfedale EVO 5.4 between two 5” Kevlar woofers, rated at 89dB.

Cons: No independent measurements yet, so its tonal balance and directivity can’t be compared with ranked speakers. Rated from 56Hz, and The Audio Tailor found it needs careful placement for even dispersion.
