{"product_id":"wharfedaleevo5-2stand","title":"Wharfedale EVO 5.2 Stand Speaker Stand, Black (Pair)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Wharfedale EVO 5.2 Stand is a 478 mm tall speaker stand made of carbon steel, whose top plate is cut exactly to the footprint of the EVO 5.2.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 497 mm tall and 15 kg, the EVO 5.2 is almost a small floorstander already. That's exactly why what it stands on is no side issue here — and the matching stand is built lower than the one for the 5.1, so the tweeter still lands at ear height.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy the EVO 5.2 Stand?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e478 mm of stand plus 497 mm of speaker add up to roughly a metre — putting the AMT tweeter about where your ear sits while seated. The top plate measures 260 × 350 mm and matches the footprint of the 5.2 exactly, so the cabinet sits fully supported across its base. Add to that 13.3 kg per piece of carbon steel and lacquered MDF: enough mass so the drivers' energy goes into sound rather than furniture wobble.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat you hear\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn a hollow shelf, the 5.2 loses exactly what you buy a three-way system for — sharpness of contour in the lower midrange. On the matching stand, the bass turns dry, the mids detach cleanly from the cabinet, and the soundstage gains depth instead of just width.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho is the EVO 5.2 Stand for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor anyone who can place their EVO 5.2 freely. Honestly: if you have to put the speaker on a shelf, better save the money for cables or an amplifier — even the best stand can't get anything out of a closed shelf compartment. And a note on structural load: 13.3 kg of stand plus 15 kg of speaker is nearly 30 kilos per side. You set that up properly once and don't move it again.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eOur verdict\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eNot an accessory alibi, but a precisely engineered foundation: the right height, the right contact area, the right mass. If you want to know whether the stand pays off for your seating position, give us a call — at HD Zürisee in Wädenswil, we'll quickly work out the ear height for you.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTechnical data\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: Speaker stand, model-specific for Wharfedale EVO 5.2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions (W × H × D): 302 × 478 × 350 mm (base plate × total height × depth)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTop plate (W × D): 260 × 350 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBase plate (W × D): 302 × 350 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: Carbon steel, base plate with lacquered MDF\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpikes: Hardened carbon steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish: Black lacquered\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 13.3 kg per piece\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSales unit:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 pair (2 stands) – the listed price is for the pair\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncluded: 2 stands, spikes, rubber feet, mounting hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy is the EVO 5.2 Stand lower than the EVO 5.1 Stand?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause the speakers are different heights. The EVO 5.2 itself measures 497 mm, the 5.1 only 340 mm. With 478 mm of stand height, the 5.2's tweeter lands at the same ear height as the 5.1 on its 633 mm stand. The two models are therefore not interchangeable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan I fill the columns with sand?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePossible, but usually not necessary. At 13.3 kg per piece, the stand is already very calm. If you want to squeeze out the last bit, you can fill the carbon steel columns and lower the centre of gravity further — but then expect a genuine piece of furniture when you go to move it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAre spikes and rubber feet included?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, both come with the pair, along with the mounting hardware. The hardened steel spikes couple cleanly on carpet and keep the stand wobble-free; the rubber feet protect parquet and other sensitive floors. For spikes on a hard floor, additional metal spike discs are recommended.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy the Wharfedale EVO 5.2 Stand at HD Zürisee?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause with us you don't just get the gear, you get the assessment that goes with it: does it fit your room, does it match your electronics, what's still missing?
