Wharfedale Pacific Evolution 8 Bookshelf speakers

The products of Wharfedale are the asset for not very rich music lovers. In the segment of budget and mid price loudspeakers this British company has produced lots of successful models. And the novelty Evo 8 has all the chances to join the list of bestsellers. A 130-mm driver with the Kevlar diffuser, which is protected from the harmful influence of UV by special coating, is reliable for basses. The tweeter with a fabric dome differs by a powerful magnetic system. Four terminals with powerful jumpers are made unusually, but with high quality. The body with curvelinear sidewalls is made of MDF! This is not "evolution" but revolution for such money.

Do not expect manicured sound from Pacific Evo 8. They literally zoom off the place - dynamics is wonderful, basses are specific, powerful energy is felt higher too - in voices, guitars, violins, high drums. Usually, if we have speakers with such sound character for testing, we call them "loudmouthed". But this can't be said about Wharfedale Pacific Evolution 8: even at high volume they sound neutrally, precisely keeping balance and not allowing anything to dominate in music picture.
