Wharfedale Evo 4.2 Bookshelf Speakers. A Video Review.

These speakers look similar to the range-topping Elysian speakers. They even get some of that ‘trickle-down tech’ but without the high price tag. They are engineered to give you the sound and scale of a floor stander but without being a floor stander.

While one can, (and I did) place these on a bookshelf, they are made for stands. And thankfully Wharfedale sent over some stands to pair with these. The stands are kind of a necessity.

The 4.2s are big. But being big means nothing if it doesn’t sound big, and fortunately, it sounds big too. Big enough that for the majority of this review, I ran these speakers without a sub. The EVO 4.2s are quite something special. And sonically, they’re going to be hard to beat.
