Wharfedale Speakers
The Pacific Evolution series from Wharfedale has been conceived as the natural successor to the critically-acclaimed Pacific series. It builds upon the strong foundations and reinforces our aim to introduce designs, materials and components normally reserved for high-end products costing several thousands of pounds, into loudspeakers which are not only affordable, they are practical and usable on an everyday basis.
These have a cleaner, more dynamic sound than any speaker in their class. Their drivers are fast and accurate to present music with exceptional neutrality and resolution. Bass-hangover is all-but eliminated because cabinet standing waves cannot form with curved sides and correctly angled bracing.
Evolution is totally 'state-of-the-art'. Curved, low resonance multiple-braced MDF cabinets, Bi-directional UV stabilised KEVLAR drivers, ultra high-gauss neodymium magnets, isolated alloy tweeter pod, heavy-duty gold plated and screened bi-wire terminals, most manufacturers would be charging $3000 upwards even for the smaller models, whereas their prices range from just $500 to $1500 for the large Pacific EVO-40
The elegant curved cabinets are finished in a choice of real wood veneers. You can have black, maple, or rosewood, with a piano gloss black model available on special order, (there is a 25% premium for piano gloss finishes).

Engineered to offer something beyond the ordinary and to be considered an exceptional music reproduction instrument, each Wharfedale loudspeaker must meet a number of exacting standards. Jade is the newest audiophile class speaker design from Wharfedale that incorporates the latest improvements in loudspeaker technology and production from Wharfedale’s in-house design. Computer-aided modelling and precision tooling is used to produce the highest levels of performance of our loudspeakers to ensure they can provide its owners a lifetime of indulgence.
Available in natural wood veneer and piano gloss finish, the Jade series improves on Wharfedale’s famous multi-braced MDF curved cabinet construction by incorporating the latest material technology developed by its engineers. It is also equipped with new bass and midrange drive units engineered with a specially designed cone material which combines the responsiveness of glass and carbon fibre materials with a self-damping woven matrix. As a result, every detail from the analogue or digital music source can be heard, from the loudest transient to the micro-harmonics of individual instruments, with crystal clear clarity – the essence of Wharfedale Jade.
Conclusion
The Jade 1 bookshelf speaker from venerable manufacturer Wharfedale at $1,199 (per pair) is an achievement that is difficult to put into words, except to say it's brilliant. While not perfect - what speaker is? - or without its quirks, the Jade 1 is still a special loudspeaker in that it manages to possess more of that high-end flavor many spend thousands of dollars and countless years chasing. The Jade 1 is well-crafted, beautifully built and easy to integrate into virtually any living space. Because of its diminutive size and elegant shape, it scores high on the wife acceptance scale and, because it doesn't cost half a kidney, your children will still get to go to college. And you? You'll be left to enjoy one of this industry's newest great loudspeakers.

Achromatic means, in hi fi terms, purity and preservation of original music without colouration or added intonation – something we, at Wharfedale strive for in our pursuit of audio excellence. Many good home cinema systems are unnecessarily compromised by the use of poor loudspeakers that are so often part of dealer packages. Even many aftermarket replacement products fail to deliver the kind of quality in performance that the rest of the equipment can deliver.
The role of a high performance loudspeaker system is to faithfully reproduce the audio signal, from deep, sub-bass frequencies right though to inaudible high-frequencies, the sound needs to be smooth and unbroken – without colouration. The Achromatic system is designed as such and therefore just as refined and well poised with music as it is with fast, dynamic movie soundtracks.
Consisting of six pre-configured systems designed to offer significant performance advantages over packaged loudspeaker systems yet retaining the same lifestyle element, high quality finish and compact form factor for easy installation, each package offers a different combination of front, centre and surround speakers with low-profile subwoofer options.
