WOW! Even with all the compression through TH-cam these sound amazing! I thought the domed midrange might be too forward but it sounds so airy. The tweeters are detailed yet not overly bright. I think this might be my next choice for floor standers. Thank you.
First rate system, first rate demo. Really interesting music, too. Thank you very much. In these days of no stereo stores, something like this is worth 20 "talking about it" so-called reviews.
I orderd my warfdale 4.4 evo's 2.5 months ago. I can pick them up tommorrow! Cant wait!! I got the Black versions. According to the suplier Warfdale Evo 4.4 are really populair speakers cause they deliver VERY HIGH performance for that price (1500 euro's)! Your videos made me the period of the waiting a lot better 🤣🤗 thanks for that!
how are they??
@@RainbowCharade they are fucking awesome! I really enjoy with the music and movies. I listen to all genres; classical, hip hop, rock and all sorts of music. Very deep and clean bass, high tones everything is nice en great looking!
@@remcopost4766 That`s great they sound good ,but waiting for 2.5 Months ,where did you buy them from, the Dark side of the Moon ?
@@cosmictywlite warfdale is extremely popular at the moment with the Evo 4.4 and the Brexit and also the rarity of the drivers / chips with the fact that the canal in Egypt got blocked as well. Yes, i had to wait a little. The suplier i bought them had a waitlist to. Was worth it all the way!
@@remcopost4766 No worries mate ,How long did they take to Break In & to you need to use a Subwoofer, with these Wharfedale ,My New EVO 4.4 will be at my home on Friday . Cheers Remco Post !
Always appreciate a sound demonstration when the environment is giving a view 👍
Thanks, bro! Bass tests are always welcome!
had the evo 4.2 for a few years. sold it and tried a different set of speakers. but now im planning on getting the evo 4.4. the highs are non-fatiguing and rolled-off but lacked sparkle. it filled the room with a mist of magical airiness. i preferred them off-axis than straight-on as the mids were too forward. the bass is prominent. definitely present but nicely textured and buttery smooth.
Nice to see that model in action.
Many reviews I've seen for these speakers not more than objective audiophile's opinions.
Thx for review. Seems amplifier should be powered enough for 4.4.
oh my gosh they sound amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Kevlar is better to have a perfect bass ! I love Wharfedale for this, their sound is always excellent ! Very good reference in Hi-Fi (but little known to the general public and shunned by some audiophiles and so much the better!)
Great Music 👍 Thank you for that.
Outstanding sound and quality!!!
top!!! für diese preisklasse ein toller lautsprecher 👍
Impressive stuff, I also like the looks of your amplifier....
Thanks for taking the time to make these videos - it’s really helping me decide on my next pair of speakers,I think after Xmas I will be treating myself to pair of these Wharfedales but I wonder if they do gloss piano white?
MARK BRISLEN they have white but it’s more like whitewash woodgrain.
Ein fantastischer Lautsprecher für 1500€. Der Beste in seiner Preisklasse.
@SvenForbes I translated. Yes fantastic speakers for the money. New benchmark. Redefining sound quality at what we can get for 2k
Thanks! I guess I just chose my new speakers. Omg SOOO GOOD.
they sound and look amazing
I recommend use Elac FS 247.3, FS267, FS407, FS207A ... and similar slim towers with JET III/JET V tweeters and You will be amazed by the bass and the whole sound!!!
Who needs a subwoofer when the towers sound like that?
Bass lovers
I recently bought a pair myself white color. I guess our listening room is different , mine seem don't have enough bass due to open area in living room, you are listening in a square room with walls around. That will absolutely sound better. I then added the Rel Acoustic bass and it sounds tons better.
Looks like the kids have a good stereo to listen to?
If you love natural sounding speakers and this is your price range, just buy these. Had loads of demos of Monitor Audio, Dali, Fyne , Focal and B&W above this price range and nothing was close to these. Because the instrument separation is so good you will hear things in songs you never released were in there. At £1200 they're a bargain.
A Monitor Audio Gold, only the 100 has a much nicer sound than Wharfedale
Hi mate, very nice videos thanks for the reviews. I will go for the 4.4 as well now! Am very curious how they will sound in my room.
I wonder if you can tell what Diffusors/Absorbers you are using BEHIND the speakers?
Also did you realise any effect by those (e.g. speakers sound better, dynamics is more open or else...)?
What other speakers did you consider before buying these if you would please. I've been looking into Elac Uni-Fi 2.0 and Revel Performa 3 series 2006 as well as the Evo 4.4 you have here.
Is the Kinky Studio a good amplifier to watch movies? of course with the right dac
Having a kids in the house? Suprise !!! All hardward still nice no sticker , pen , paints lol
This was while ago. Now things changed :)
bass everywhere
Very nice! I’m curious...what video camera and microphone setup did you use?
Have you compare to wharfedale diamond 12.4. Its has more richer in bass compare to EVO 4.4
Really awesome! Did you turned on the sub-woofer?
Nice set-up !
Amazing sound..which speaker cables do you use with them..??
He use with Qed reference XT40 cabels .
Nice job thanks.
Great sound what's the music being played can't beat wharfdale for sound and value great speakers 👍👍
Wow amazing
NICE SOUND, WHAT EQUIPMENT ARE YOU USING? KIND REGARDS
😀😀😀 very nice !!!!
dern that's a nice looking system!!
i was almost writing a comment about youtube compression and shitty iphone microphones but why does this sound so good?
You best have told the little one not to push those speakers 😀 Fcking great quality from an iphone xs microphone. Might invest 1k on a big bad boy soon, this is in the top 5 at the moment.
Sounds great Mate, Can you please tell me, what sort of Subwoofer goes with the Wharfedale 4.4 Speakers any advice would be helpful .Cheers mate
Don't wish to sound cocky but when choosing a subwoofer... it's all about listening habits and room size.
If you mainly listed to music, probably want a SB (Sealed box) for tighter bass, normally for movies a PB (Ported box) for fuller deeper sound. But the SVS SB3000 800w RMS Sub, can go down to around 18Hz, for around £1300 UK (if that's within your budget) so would suit most people for both music and movies.
@@johnbancroft5242 Thanks for the advice mate ,But SVS is 17Hz to bass for me ,I know its got more watts than REL-T/5x-Active. its 35Hz ,I`II think about it! Cheers mate.
which center speaker to that pair of Wharfedale's for Homecinema srt up, thanks
SPL does not change at all off axis hmmmmmm?
From which site or where you buy these high end audiophile systems in India
I'm in jaipur, rajasthan and there is no dealer available here for any of these
Can you tell me your place please
Hello KVR ! great work ! Love watching your videos ! I'm adding EVO 4.C Center Channel along with my EVO 4.2's for watching Movies. What sort of budget AVR or Amp combo do you suggest to give the descent sound ? Thanks in advance.
@vamsi krishna sakamuri ; NAD T 758 V3i or Arcam AVR390 at 1500$ if you have good sub or check latest Yamaha RX-V6A at 600$ and rest invest on good sub around 1000$ Martin Logan 1100x..
KVR Listening Room Thank you so much for taking your time to reply
& also your expertise. I think i will go with YAMAHA RX-VGA. I am thinking to add a RHYTHMIK sub. What do you think of RHYTHMIK ? Your ideas welcome. Thanks
@vamsi krishna sakamuri : yes . Yamaha going to be good. I do not have idea about rhythimik sub but looks promising Try out. With Martin Logan 1100x .. we get 0 floor vibration and very smooth.
KVR Listening Room I will look into Martin Logan. Thank you for replying! 👍
@vamsi krishna sakamuri :yw
is that a Kinki M1+ in the background? are you happy with the combo? thanks
Very nice
Have you compared these to svs ultra ? These were in the running but I ended up with svs but with them raising prices here in a week idk if I want to keep them anymore and complete the set
I am surprised that the woofer size advertised by the Company is FALSE. It’s a 5 inch woofer and NOT 6.5 inch. Although bass is decent.
Ye that's sad and a cheap trick honestly. In Polish shops these are said to be 5 inch (16.5) , but in the official PDF's from the producer it simply says 16.5, which is not true.
👏👏🏻👏🏼👏🏽👏🏾👏🏿👏👏🏻👏🏼👏🏽👏🏾👏🏿👏👏🏻👏🏼👏🏽👏🏾👏🏿 kudos,
Every high-end came thru my low end edifier unit.
Looking for some speakers around this price to match my Cambridge Audio Azur 851a. Normally like Dali's but these have caught my eye. Do you think they would make a good match?
I plan for this match too but is Azur 851w + cxn v2 & this speaker
@@leongcherngkae2524 have brought these speakers now and I can tell you they are amazing with Cambridge Audio
@@1968leg thanks you, my will be arriving soon
@@leongcherngkae2524 you have made an excellent choice. You will love them. Especially after 60 hours of use. Bass settles in beautifully
@@1968leg which Cambridge audio amp as I am going to purchase this combination.
Thanks
super
Your videos have been very helpful for me at least. Just a quick question, I am more into bass heavy songs, R&B, Rap, Hip-hop etc, will I need a subwoofer with these speakers for my type of music ?. My room size is 5m x 5m.
@martin mbokazi bass from these speakers excellent. ( according to me) Very clean. With certain songs I surprised with bass low end impact with clean texture. As of now I never felt blotted bass from these speakers and never felt subwoofer required.
When we judging bass response, There is always trade off between quantity vs quality. These can play very well with any king of music irrespective of music type. Give some time for bass drivers to break in. Also high current stable amp play very important role in Bass reproduction.
Please keep in mind this is just me , my components, my room etc. :)
@@kvrhifi Well explained, many thanks
@martin mbokazi I am just listening with new pair of Kimber 8tc internal Bi- wire . Wow . Bass definition top class without sacrificing quantity.
Do you need to stay on ear level to get the best out of the tweeters?
The rear isolation is the difference
I have a choice of going for a pair of new Wharfedale EVO 4.4 speakers, or a pair of seventeen year old Sonus Faber Piano Home speakers which are in excellent condition.
What is the better option here?
you knew
Do you still love the Denafrips Pontus II?
Excellent.
How they sound near the wall?
Great, because they have downward fireing port
DEVE ESSERE STATA UNA ESPERIENZA TERRIBILE🥵🥵
Have you compared Wharfedale Diamond 12.4 to Evo 4.4? How is the performance of Diamond 12.4? Anyone tested ?
How do you connect the TV for the Song Picture
I love Wharfedale speakers, however, not being able to tolerate KEF or Elac is a bit overboard. They make exemplary products. Speaking in hyperbole is unconvincing.
Your thoughts on the kinky studio?
I want to test them in a small room.
How do you like the kinki I with these speakers?
May I ask what the maximum SPL was for this listening session? Sorry, but "my max tolerance" pretty much means nothing ;).
I know what my neighbors max tolerance is. 😅
May be around 85 db . And dis regard volume level on Amp .
@@VisnitchiRaul Exactly why I had to move into my own home... for apartment dwelling was most definitely not working for me... and that was even BEFORE owning a single Subwoofer (I rock three 15"ers currently 😱).
@@kvrhifi Oh, so yeah... not Loud. I listen to 85 dB constant (peaks of 105 dB) every day and then 100 dB constant (peaks of 115 dB) when I'm rocking out, which is multiple times per week... and of course Movie time with the occasional BASS scenes which peak at 121 dB. (cleanly and flat down to 12 hz). I'm sure I'm not alone 😉
@@johndaddabbo9383 I'm lucky that they got old and they can't hear as good anymore, and I became friends with them.
Any thought about the Quad S5?
Is this good in home theater?
Has anyone compared b&w 703 s2 with evo 4.4?, any opinions
As per you this are one of the Top most sounding speakers? What is other Equipments used ?
@Sheel Mirji : Ocean way audio speakers. You can watch my latest videos.
*Ocean way audio Eureka speakers
Try TLA India price range is less than that
If you want to chalenge your speakers try Oh Joon Sung's -> Hot Spade
I want to buy the smalles EVO 4.1 because of how they look, but they are little to expensive, so I am not shore if the worth the money. Would anyone recommend the Evo 4.1?
There is no bass.
Can marantz PM7000n drive evo 4.4? Do they match well?
According to what I heard they are excellent match, considering this combination myself.
Is SUB on?
Are those speakers Bottom bass ported?
Yep, they have a bass reflex whole at the bottom, between the metal stand and the wood, there is a gap which allows the air to escape in all directions.
Do you think Denon X1600H pairs well with these?
Did you have a chance to compare them against the Monitor Audio Silver 300 6g? I am torn between those two speaker
Hey, I'm a bit late to the party, but I wanted to share my thoughts. I had a really bad experience with the Denon X1700. It worked alright for movies, but for music, it was just awful. I ended up selling it after a year of trying to get the sound right.
I haven't tried it with the Evo 4.4, but according to what I've read online, an amp for the Evo 4.4 should have at least 100W of power per channel, and more power is generally better.
So, I'd assume it's not going to be a good match.
Hey, I ended up getting Phonar Veritas speakers P4.2 Next and a bluesound Powernode and could not be happier :) Thanks anyway for answering, maybe someone else will profit from it! :) @@antonionarkevich4191
Are you using subwoofer this video?
@Jari : No . subwoofer was not connected to Stereo Amp.
Какой усилитель?
I have a 2 year old kid, so most of my music listening is after he goes to sleep.. so I am looking for a speakers that sound full and good even at low volumes... So they don't start sounding good at some volumes that are going to wake him up. For now I am happy how Monitor Audio Silver 6 is doing it but some kind of upgradeitis strated itching :) .. so I am asking you to give me your comment on this matter please.
I see that you also have a kid so I guess you must have tried it!
Thanks!
May I know what amp your going use. It’s depends on amps also . EVO 4.4 need stable power . I see benchmark bhk2 going to really good . I know user who used with that amp .get RME adi2 fs dac . Connect by xlr. I am sure you will be 100% happy at any volume.
@@kvrhifi It is going to be Densen Dino power amp, 2x60w at 8ohm, in first 10-15 watts working in A class. RME was out of my budget so I ended up with Marantz HD-DAC1 as preamp.
Thanks!
What music is playing in this video?
Black shoes
That is the artist or the name of the song?
@@dennism4812 song name just type it up
what amp is it
@vijesh prasad : Kinki Studio EX M1 Plus and Dac is Denafrips Pontus
hi kVR, after a long time, have a pair of evo4.4 and kef r300 driven by yamaha as801, thinking to upgrade the amp, which one should I choose marantz pm8006 or denon pma1600ne ideal for evo4.4
@@vincent77295 that is my amp...may I ask why you wish to change it??
Bass sound weak. Sub is needed. Bass drivers are way too small.
Are you saying by this video or you actually bought and saying ...
Eternal agree! Heard the 4.2 4.4 in an audio store and the bass is loud but not deep. I would say you have to set subwoofer in the high 50’s hz just to extend the low end. Really surprised that big towers and 3 way cant deliver at least decent bass.
@Just another youtube user : these are equally to sealed enclosed bass type which focuses on accuracy. If you need more bass you can place them near wall. Or have to look for big back ported speaker’s which they get benefit of room gain .
KVR Listening Room not more bass, it wont reproduce deep bass and thats a problem (Volume is different from range). No they are not accurate, its slower than most speakers ive heard, maybe near sluggish to say the least.
@@justanotheryoutubeuser5029 you've never heard them. Just being a dick, always one.
Is the sub off ? You should show that is off. Thxs
@Rudy Ruton: sub was not paired
I warnted to buy these too, because of the excelent soundstage. But in "the audiofool"s review, he speaks about very bad, unnaturak female voicing. Didn't hear them yet.

Ha Ha Ha, das soll Bass sein? Ich empfehle Ihnen sich mal Track 12 von der CD "Audio Stakkato II" anzuhören. Das hier spielt sich alles im Oberbass Bereich ab....
pls demo ' limit to your love' by James Blake
@Gilbert wow that low bass amazing
@@kvrhifi u can also try Partition by Beyonce
@Gilbert th-cam.com/video/bYEzWcqNtgg/w-d-xo.html enjoy. Ignore microphones clipping due to close recording
Weird that Tidal doesn't have James Blake. Damn shame. His stuff is great to sit back and veg out to.
I take all your tests with a pinch of salt, unless you use some well recorded CDs or vinyls, such as the LP "Check Your Audio" recorded by JVC and issued in 1976. I bet you can't find this vinyl because it has been out of print for almost 30 years. I am lucky enough to purchase one copy in mid-1980s. This vinyl not only tests your loudspeakers but also your amplifier and turntable. In a nutshell, it will give your entire equipment a tortuous test which can be very revealing. Even my hi-end system fails in a few areas.
What are the dimensions of your room?
@A E S T H E T I C: 22 feet L*14feet w and right side open kitchen further 8 feet
@@kvrhifi So 6.7 meters x 4.27 meters without kitchen. Isn't space too small for these speakers? Doesn't the bass make a noise? Do you listen to a maximum of 30% of the volume?
@A E S T H E T I C I can’t tell you if my space enough for these speakers or not . But I can tell these sounds excellent to me . That’s why still they are in my house . Other wise without a inch hesitate I would have return them.
30 number in my amp not equal to 30% of volume. It’s depends on song compression and amp gain. I guess both works together. My amp gain is 27db
Also I recorded all videos around ~ 75 to 85 dB sound pressure levels. So consider this as reference .
@@kvrhifi Thank you very much! The speakers are wonderful. I'm thinking seriously about the Evo 4.2 version because I have a smaller living room. How do you think they will be heard?
@A E S T H E T I C I guess 4.2 also going to be same sound signature like 4.4 with little less bass .
the bass is clear but weak, no punch, disappointing, the rest is great
Колонки стоят слишком близко к задней стене и широко.
У них нет сзади отверстий фазика. Ставь куда хочешь, они так и позиционируют свою модель. А насчет шире или уже зависит о комнаты. Ты там не был и советовать не можешь никак
@@VIKTORKARETNIKOV Ну и что,что нет ФИ с зади?!Колонки дальше он стены - сцена глубже.+ надо обязательно закрывать телевизор, что бы телесность звуковых образов была выше и.т.д.
Человек ещё далёк от звука, по-этому совершает такие ошибки.
О звуке: Даже если у тебя очень достойная система, но без правильной подборки кабелей,ты никогда не вытянешь из записи голографический звук ( К этой системе не относится).На классике, если у тебя нет голографического звука,то сцена и без того должна уходить в глубину на 5-7 и более метров;в ширину на 3-5 метров, даже если у тебя между колонками 1,8-2,0 метра.«Дыхание» зала, за акустикой, должно ощущаться. Система,как бы растворяется в пространстве комнаты. Вокал,как будто живой,звучит на высоте 1,6 - 1,8 м,даже если твои колонки до 1 метра высотой. Звук - трёхмерный, телесный - осязаемый, с хорошей локализацией образов и фантастическим эффектом присутствия. У тебя должно складываться впечатление, что ты сидишь в первых рядах, в зале,на концерте. Если на своей системе, ты ставишь джаз - авангард или классику,совершенно далёкому от этих жанров человеку, и у него через 20 сек.отвисает челюсть, то ты по праву можешь гордиться своей системой. Но, если твоя система и близко не выдаёт такой звук,то значит ты ещё в начале пути, хотя и думаешь, что о звуке вы знаешь много?! п.с.Голографический звук: это когда стена за акустикой, как бы исчезает и ты чётко видишь зал и фантомы музыкантов на сцене или в оркестровой яме.Такой вау-эффект,просто сносит крышу,даже у тех, кто к звуку вообще равнодушен. Голографию,можно вытянуть из записи,если только она там есть. Минус систем с высоким разрешением: Среднего качества записи, звучат хреново.
@@VIKTORKARETNIKOV Для специалистов! Расстояние между этими колонками, не должно быть больше 1,8 -2,0 м.,что бы середина не провалилась.
Есть такое понятие - локализация в пространстве.
Как я понял в системе стоит саб.Интересно какой?
they are not able to give deep bass, maybe its micerophone fault but this is not bass.
I will never understand videos like these.
Laut den Kommentaren scheint es eine Menge Leute zu geben, die den Sinn solcher Videos verstehen. 😉
@@franklindrebin00 dann hilf mir mal
People looking to buy speakers can put some headphones on, listen, and get a good idea how they sound. What is there to "understand" ?
