The result is a clarity of separation you don't normally get in a cabinet this size. The cabinet itself is built so quiet, with ResoFrame bracing and ResoSeal damping, that it doesn't start chiming in at higher levels.

It suits rooms from around 18 to 35 m² and plays classical, jazz and vocal pop especially convincingly. Let's be blunt: it doesn't belong on a desk — nearly 50 cm tall and 15 kg per speaker will overwhelm you in the near field. And a wobbly shelf turns the carefully quietened cabinet back into a drum. Without stable stands, you give away a good part of what you paid for.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eOur verdict\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA three-way system of this quality for the price of an upmarket two-way speaker — that's the real trick of the 5.2.

That's precisely the point: a soundstage falls apart wherever the center sounds different from the stereo speakers beside it. Here the driver technology is identical, so voices and effects move seamlessly across the front. On top of that come two 130mm Kevlar woofers, giving male voices the foundation that small center speakers typically owe you.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat you hear\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eDialogue becomes intelligible without you having to ride the volume – and it stays that way even when the music track underneath picks up. With 89 dB sensitivity, the 5.C is undemanding enough that even a mid-range AV receiver drives it cleanly. And because it reaches down to 56 Hz, it doesn't sound like a megaphone but like a full-fledged speaker.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho is the EVO 5.C for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 5.C is mandatory for anyone building an EVO 5 front, and a very good choice for any home cinema where dialogue intelligibility has been an issue. Plainly put: if you lock it inside a closed rack compartment or behind a cabinet door, you might as well save your money – it needs a clear sightline to the listening position. And at 52 cm wide and 12.5 kg, the shelf underneath needs to be sturdy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eOur verdict\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA center speaker not designed as a compromise, but as a speaker in its own right – and that's exactly why it makes the difference between \"you understand everything\" and \"you're drawn in.\" Whether it fits under your TV and how to align it, we're happy to work through with you at HD Zürisee in Wädenswil; our technician Mauri will also set up the system on site if you'd like.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat the trade press says:\u003c\/strong\u003e \"A center is only needed for the dialogue from the middle of the screen?

It forgives a few centimeters of offset without issue, thanks to its even dispersion. What it doesn't forgive is a closed furniture compartment or a cabinet door in front of it – that's exactly where it loses the precision you bought it for.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs a mid-range AV receiver enough for the EVO 5.C?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. With 89 dB sensitivity and a minimum impedance of 4.1 ohms, it's uncomplicated to drive. 25 to 120 watts is recommended. More important than power is that the receiver is 4-ohm capable – which is standard on current mid-range units.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDoes the EVO 5.C also work with speakers from other brands?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt'll always work technically, but it rarely sounds homogeneous. Because the 5.C uses the same AMT tweeter and the same Kevlar diaphragms as the other EVO 5 models, it forms a seamless front together with them, with no audible break during a pan. For mixed setups, we're happy to advise you on what fits together.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy the Wharfedale EVO 5.C from HD Zürisee?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause we don't just sell the unit, we put it into context: what fits with it, what you really don't need.
