Wharfedale Pacific Evo 8

Bought the Evo 8's at a great price although I understand they have been replaced with Evo2's. No problem with that as they are worth every penny and compare with much, much more expensive models. Very surprised by how they handle female vocals at high volume and are surprisingly clear. The mids are well balanced and the bass is pretty good with little to no colouration. I have incorporated the EVO 8 into my home theatre with Richter 10" subwoofer. I may just use these as rears as well. I just love them that much.

Very nice real timber veneer and very well made and solid. The straw/maple colour breaks up my mostly black/dark setup quite nicely. I want people to know where this great sound is coming from.

Highly recommended to everyone interested in high end sound at a bargain.

i was looking to upgrade my current speaker set-up and had a chance to hear a Wharfedale Pacific Evo 40 and Evo 8. I was impressed and immediately bought a pair of each. Once I had set-up, I was doubly amazed at the clarity and depth of listening to Susan Wong's The Look of Love. You could hear Wong's voice and breathe into each words in the song, The musicality and sound quality was superb. The Evo8 gave the singer's voice center stage with the Evo40 supplementing the power of the singer's voice. Bass was tight and powerful with the Evo40. And this is with a Pioneer Stereo Amp only. These pairs are driving me to push the limits with a more powerful amp set-up.

i couldn't find anything negative with these pairs and have not looked back on the purchase. Diamond series and Mission's M-series was nowwhere in the range of these babies.

i definitely recommend you guys try out a pair and BE MOVED.

Nice punching bass, mid and high are incredible, even nautilus tweeter cant compare to this one, try epcot tempestry of dream cd, you will love the sound of it clear and smooth, no distortion at all.

i truly recommend this speakers it is affordable for the price and i believe they are better than B&W 685 that cost like 600 a pair.

The Wharfedale Pacific Evo 8 produce an excellent sound and have a good finish. Simply superb speakers in Wharfedale range of speakers.

Overall the rating is good and value for the money.

Very good, these Wharfedale Pacific Evo 8s are a bargain.

I just bought a pair of Wharfedale EVO 30s. Upon taking them out of the box I was struck with just how deep the speakers were (almost 16 inches in a 35 in. tall speaker). I liked the veneer, my diamond 8s werent a real wood veneer and I prefer the real veneer by quite a bit. They come with a good mini-stand to keep the speaker off of the floor and even had little plastic feet for the metal spikes to save flooring. After setting them up though, these niceties slipped into the back of my mind. I adjusted my reciever to account for the bigger speakers and cranked them. Out of the box they sounded great though I had to tweak the trebel on my reciever to account for the volume the tweeter put out. I then decided to hear the speakers without my sub-woofer on. To my surprise I had left it unplugged. The EVOs have base extention a plenty and I was very happy. Now, after hours of listening to every movie and CD in the house I have to say that these speakers put other speakers I have heard in a headlock. Up to 3 or 4 grand, I don't think that there is a better set of speakers on the market. They have won my adoration and will certainly be part of my set up for many years to come. I am overjoyed!

I have my new evo 8 for one month now, and I am very happy with it. They have great design and damn punchy sound. Bass is tight and strong, and vocals are soft and warm. I use it with Arcam diva 82 player and Rotel ra 1060 amp and I must say that I am very pleased with this combination. Anyways, evo's have a nice fluid sound, great for any kinds of music. You must try it!
