Emma Evo - EgglestonWorks Loudspeakers

Tall, Slim and Handsome. A floorstanding speaker with an impressive pedigree and unusual proportions.

Egglestonworks Emma Evolution

Lucid, Insightful, Exciting

When the original Emma was developed, the world witnessed a revolution in performance, quality and value. The completely redesigned Emma EVO accomplishes the seemingly impossible task of improving on all of these areas.

As the entry point, floor-stander in the EgglestonWorks EVO series, the Emma is the result of a comprehensive research and development program whose goal was to create a range of affordable loudspeakers, which maintain the sonic and aesthetic excellence for which EgglestonWorks has long been renowned.

The EVOlution embodied in the Emma first originated with the Viginti Limited Edtion speaker and then in the Kiva. Both of these speakers feature a completely re-designed cabinet, internal bracing and porting systems, which were new to any previous EW product. In keeping with our tradition of trickle down R&D, the Emma benefits from the exact same cabinet advancements as the much larger speakers in the line. Redesigned drivers and crossover networks round out the improvements to insure the Emma EVO attains the highest quality sound delivery possible.

Trickle Down Technology

Emma EVO leverages many of the innovations found in our larger models on a scale befitting the slim stature of this model.

: Your big finish. Pick the perfect color, and we will lacquer it by hand and buff it to a perfect automotive shine.

: Cabinets are constructed to an extremely high standard of robustness. A strategic combination of MDF and HDF are formed and fastened to create walls up to 1.5″ thick.

: Dual mid-bass drivers and a premium soft-dome tweeter are mounted on a machined aluminum baffle to ensure resonance-free clarity and uncolored tonality.

: Tight and tuneful bass is supported by a clever slot port located just beneath the binding posts.

There’s clarity and articulation to the presentation; a subtle vagueness has been disposed of, almost as though a light well has been cut into the soundstage, the better to illuminate those denser, innermost regions. To use another visual analogy, it’s as though the loudspeakers found a depth of field you didn’t realise was available.

The perspective presentation of the Emma EVOlution was neither forward, nor laid back – it was presented exactly as recorded in the mix. If the vocals were front and centre in the mix, they sounded forward as they should, and if they were placed further back in the mix, that’s exactly how the speaker played them.

I urge you to move whatever mountains you must to hear a pair of these speakers — in your home, using your gear, or under other circumstances. If you’re as impressed as I was, you’ll be reaching for your checkbook or a credit card.

Much listening ensued and all of it proved highly engaging and enjoyable. The Egglestonworks Emma Evolution is a highly revealing and capable loudspeaker in a very nicely appointed cabinet.
