EVO 5 — The Next Evolution of Accessible Audiophile Sound

EVO 5 builds on the EVO 4’s runaway success—earning rave reviews and becoming one of our best-selling ranges—and introduces targeted upgrades over its predecessor: a larger AMT tweeter, a tri-directional SLPP bass port, enhanced Kevlar woofers with elastomer damping, and a stiffer multi-layer real-wood cabinet with precision spot bracing. Co-developed with our flagship Elysian series, EVO 5 preserves that natural, musical British signature while delivering deeper bass, broader transparency, and ultra-low coloration—all at a truly everyday price.

High-End Sound, Everyday Price

EVO 5 represents the next evolution of rationally priced audiophile-grade loudspeakers. Developed alongside Wharfedale’s flagship Elysian series, EVO 5 shares advanced technologies, tonal accuracy, and impeccable build quality—now with targeted upgrades—yet remains astonishingly accessible. That classic British sound—natural, musical, and addictive—shines through with transparent, low-coloration detail that rivals speakers costing far more.

EVO 5.4

The EVO 5 series' flagship tower, 5.4 features two 6.5-inch Kevlar woofers alongside the EVO 5 AMT tweeter in a taller, wider cabinet. Computer-modeled spot bracing and sandwich-engineered walls eliminate coloration while the SLPP port delivers thunderous bass that remains controlled. When only full-range power and precision will do, the 5.4 offers flagship-level performance at a fraction of the price.

Precision AMT Tweeter

EVO 5’s Air Motion Transformer tweeter features an expanded 35 × 70 mm pleated diaphragm driven by precision magnets, now enhanced with acoustic damping and an elastomer frame. The result is faster transients, wider dispersion, and ultra-low distortion—delivering crisp, extended treble without harshness or fatigue.

Controlled Kevlar Bass Drivers

Building on Elysian’s low-distortion motor system, EVO 5 woofers use woven Kevlar cones (130 mm or 150 mm, depending on model) with low-loss rubber surrounds and rear elastomer damping. The stiff, well-damped cones ensure ideal piston motion and a seamless blend with the midrange—producing bass that’s weighty, articulate, and true to the music.

Refined SLPP Bass Port

Wharfedale’s Slot Loaded Profiled Port (SLPP) is now a tri-directional design, venting rear radiation left, right, and rear through flared, semi-parabolic flanges. By equalizing high internal pressure to room pressure without turbulence, EVO 5 delivers deep, articulate bass free from port noise—and is far less sensitive to placement.

Resonance-Free Real-Wood Cabinets

EVO 5 cabinets employ a sandwich of high-loss chipboard between stiff MDF layers to cancel resonances, aided by computer-modeled spot bracing that ties opposite walls. 

Clean Connections

A single set of high-quality 5-way binding posts provides a secure, reliable connection and keeps cables neatly organized. Straight terminals simplify hookup and ensure a tidy, uncluttered appearance behind your speakers.

Seamless Home Cinema Integration

For a complete surround system, EVO 5 models share tweeters, driver cones, and crossover topology across the range. The matched tonal balance ensures coherent imaging and consistent performance in every channel—so your home cinema sounds as refined as your stereo system.
