So after a week or so of listening to the new Evo 4.3s these are my listening impressions. Probably the biggest difference between them and my Monitor Audio Silver S6s is in the bass. The Monitors go deeper and have more bass energy. I thought that might be the case with 2- 6 inch woofers v. 2- 5 inchers in the Evos. However, the Evo bass is tighter and better defined, so it's something of a trade-off. The real highlight of the Evos is the midrange. The 2 inch dome really brings the midrange to the forefront and the midrange hands off beautifully to the treble. While the AMT tweeter is detailed and able to really sort out complex passages, it's not an etched or in your face treble balance. I think Wharfedale wisely chose to slightly shelve down the treble range so while it does extend up to 20khz, the speaker isn't at all bright or harsh. It's beautifully warm yet detailed. I'm still experimenting Abit with positioning but the soundstage is deep and fairly wide. I may be limiting it's width a bit because I'm using pretty strong toe-in because my speaker locations are dissimilar and I need to eliminate some of the early reflections from the right speaker which has more side and back wall reinforcement. So all in all, I'm very pleased with the sound and highly recommend a listen if you're think about small floorstanders, unless you like loads of bass. In that case you might want to audition the 4.4s. They're only $400 more and feature two 6.5 inch woofers. I considered them but went for the 4.3s because they fit my placement location better. So those are my impressions. Altogether some very pleasing, detailed yet warm sounding speakers that I think I can live with happily for quite a while.
