{"product_id":"wharfedaleevo5-1stand","title":"Wharfedale EVO 5.1 Stand Speaker Stand, Black (Pair)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Wharfedale EVO 5.1 Stand is a 633 mm tall speaker stand made of carbon steel, whose top plate is cut exactly to the footprint of the EVO 5.1.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA stand is the least spectacular accessory in the hi-fi world, and at the same time one of the most effective. It costs a fraction of a speaker upgrade and often achieves more with a bookshelf speaker.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy the EVO 5.1 Stand?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis stand gets two things right. First, the height: 633 mm bring the AMT tweeter of the EVO 5.1 to ear height while seated — and an AMT is more particular about vertical alignment than a dome, which you hear immediately in the precision of the soundstage. Second, the mass: 13.5 kg per piece of carbon steel and lacquered MDF give the cabinet a counterpart that doesn't resonate along. The top plate measures 220 × 285 mm and matches the footprint of the 5.1 exactly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat you hear\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe difference to a sideboard isn't a matter of fine detail. Resonating furniture adds a diffuse afterglow to the bass that you only notice once it's gone — then the bass suddenly stands dry, voices detach from the cabinet, and the soundstage gains depth instead of just width.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho is the EVO 5.1 Stand for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor anyone who can and wants to place an EVO 5.1 freely in the room. Honestly: if your speaker has to go on a shelf for space reasons, the stand won't help you — the included rubber feet are the right path there. And if you rearrange furniture or vacuum regularly, know this: 13.5 kg per piece isn't something you move in passing. These stands are built to be set down and left standing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eOur verdict\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eModel-specific, visually matching, mechanically serious — here you're not paying for a design object, but for mass and precise fit.

Similarly sized compact speakers will sit on it securely; with noticeably larger or smaller models, the fit is no longer clean. If in doubt, just ask us — we'll compare the dimensions for you.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWill the spikes scratch my parquet floor?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNot if you use the included rubber feet — they're designed exactly for sensitive floors like parquet or oiled wood. If you want to use the hard spikes for maximum coupling, additional metal spike discs are recommended. On carpet, the spikes are the better choice anyway.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow much does the stand really contribute sonically?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMore than the price suggests. The tweeter comes to ear height and the cabinet stands on 13.5 kg of mass instead of a resonating piece of furniture. The result is drier bass and a noticeably more stable soundstage — the most effective franc you can spend on a bookshelf speaker.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy the Wharfedale EVO 5.1 Stand at HD Zürisee?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause buying a speaker is more than an order number.
