Wharfedale Evolution (Version 2) 50, Successor to the Acclaimed Pacific Evolution Loudspeaker, Floor Standing Speaker (PAIR)

What makes a good hi-fi loudspeaker?

Well although opinions vary, Peter Walker - the founder of our sister company Quad, summed it up very nicely when he said you should get out exactly what you put in. This formed Quad's philosophy which is '...the closest approach to the original sound'.

The perfect loudspeaker should be like being in the studio, or at the concert where the music was recorded. It needs detail, subtlety, accuracy, a good and wide frequency response - above everything, it needs to be realistic. The speakers in this section are all class leaders and give an incredibly realistic soundstage. What might surprise you though is their affordability!

Choosing Wharfedale speakers means you get the finest sound quality available at the price with the reassurance of a company that has been at the forefront of audio engineering for nearly 70 years.
