Wharfedale is the British heavyweight champion of value-for-money loudspeakers. Every single component, from woofer cone to cabinet, is both designed and built in-house. This creates unparalleled quality control while maintaining the lowest possible price. And with a range that extends from entry-level to extreme luxury, Wharfedale has a specific loudspeaker to suit you – anywhere along your audio journey.

Bookshelf speakers are often cited for being affordable, compact, and efficient. So, they’re cost effective, easy to position and require less amp power – making them a highly attractive option. While they don’t produce the same presence as floorstanding speakers, they’re often thought to produce better imaging properties.

THE NEXT EVO-LUTION

Wharfedale built EVO5 to redefine what’s possible at this level—borrowing heavily from its flagship Elysian and evolving the award-winning EVO4 formula with even greater refinement. From luxurious materials to cutting-edge AMT technology, EVO5 packs class-defying performance into every cabinet, delivering a richer, more immersive listening experience for every kind of listener.

EVO5.2

EVO5.2 is a 3-way bookshelf loudspeaker featuring a 35 x 70mm AMT treble driver, 50mm soft-fabric dome midrange driver, and 6.5" (165mm) woven Kevlar bass driver. With greater cabinet volume and dedicated midrange, EVO5.2 delivers enhanced scale and separation in small to medium-sized listening spaces.

EXPRESSION AT LIGHTENING SPEED

From the trembling shimmer of brushed cymbals to the whispered breath in a close-miked vocal, EVO5 renders high frequencies with astonishing nuance and speed. Its Air Motion Transformer tweeter moves air via ultra-light pleated film, achieving lightning-fast transients and vanishingly low distortion far beyond traditional dome designs.

SMARTER WAYS TO SILENCE DISTORTION

Silentweave™ is a new cotton and felt fibre weave engineered to absorb stray treble reflections. Positioned behind the AMT diaphragm, it reduces treble smear and internal coloration to restore clarity, precision, and air to upper frequencies. Now every shimmer, breath and brushstroke is crisper, more focused, and free from interference.

A BIGGER POUR OF PRESENCE

By subtly increasing internal cabinet volume across the EVO5 range, Wharfedale enhances bass extension and spatial dispersion, resulting in a fuller, more immersive listening experience at every frequency. So, low notes gain weight, and the soundstage breathes with added depth.

AGILITY AT FULL THROTTLE

Woven Kevlar bass cones strike the perfect balance between speed and control, delivering low-end that’s both agile and authoritative. Their lightweight yet rigid structure enhances transient response, producing bass that stays clean and composed—even when you push the volume or fill a larger space.

EVO IN BOLD NEW DIRECTIONS

EVO5’s next-generation Slot Loaded Profiled Port now vents in three directions, reducing turbulence and distortion for low frequencies that hit harder and decay cleaner. So the tight pluck of an upright jazz run or the deep pulse of a cinematic score lands with both force and finesse.

COHESION YOU CAN FEEL

EVOs famous domed midrange driver delivers remarkable linearity across the critical vocal range, ensuring effortless handoff to both bass and treble for a soundstage where nothing jars. You instead get natural flow, precise layering, and a sense of musical unity that draws you into every track.

ENGINEERING MEETS EMOTIONAL CLARITY

Resoseal™ is a precision-engineered elastomer ring placed at the cone’s base, fine-tuning movement where the cone meets the surround. By smoothing cone behaviour for richer tone and natural warmth, this elegant inclusion more clearly reveals the emotional expression in vocal performances.

ELEGANCE MEETS AGGRESSION

Dedicated stands don’t just raise 5.1 and 5.2 models to the optimal listening height; they raise their aesthetic presence. Formed from high-carbon steel to resist floor-borne resonance, they unlock tighter bass, sharper imaging, and consistent tonal balance—fusing refined design with muscular precision.
