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.

Wharfedale Evolution 2
The Evolution 2 from Wharfedale is the successor to the acclaimed Pacific Evolution loudspeaker. Evolution 2 continues to reinforce our aim of introducing components, materials and production methods that are normally reserved for high end loudspeakers; and producing speakers that are not only affordable and practical, but have a great deal of value for money.
Advanced production
Most of the upgrades for the Evolution 2 series have been made internally, through the use of advance production techniques, better quality of materials and components. But it is the attention to detail that makes this series of speaker so desirable.
Internal upgrades
The Drivers and tweeter have been re-engineered to become much more responsive and dynamic. A die-cast low-profile chassis is now used on all the drivers making them more rigid and reducing mid-range distortion. A new tweeter utilising a high-temperature aluminium voice coil, thermally coupled to an integrated heat-sink, increases the high frequency response beyond 30kHz with superb control and class leading clarity and detail.
Classic looks
Aesthetically the speaker remains similar to the previous Evolution, smooth lines and a modern style allow the speakers to cater the tastes of today?s hi-fi enthusiast, and gives a performance with both film and music that is a rare find.
