Summary

    Movie and Music enthusiast as its heart

    The LEAK STEREO 130's all round performance is engaging, detailed and refined. Detail, timing and dynamics excel, regardless of source or medium. Designed for the modern-day music enthusiast with a nod to our heritage, the LEAK STEREO 130 does not discriminate when it comes to expresiion and enjoyment of your music reproduction.

    Headphone Users

    The LEAK STEREO 230 uses a dedicated amplifier circuit with current-feedback technology for the headphone output. Equal in performance to standalone headphone amplifiers, beyond the price class of this complete system, the design offers high-speed output signal transition thanks to a high slew rate. The result is a dynamic, detailed and engaging performance with all manner of headphone types.

    Arc de Triomphe

    Equipped with an Audio Return Channel(ARC) connection, the LEAK STEREO 230 integrates perfectly for home AV applications, bringing the LEAK Hi-Fi pedigree to your screen, too.

    Powerful Sound, Affordable Price

    The Wharfedale Evo4.3 floorstanding speakers incorporate technology derived from the flagship Elysian series, featuring a 3-way speaker design. A newly designed AMT (Air Motion Transformer) high frequency transducer replicates point-source audio, and is capable of moving large amounts of air for lower distortion and highly accurate musical reproduction.

    Air Motion Transformer tweeter for super-detailed treble

    Originally crafted for the Wharfedale Elysian speakers, Wharfedale EVO4 series speakers utilise the same Air Motion Transformer (AMT) high-frequency unit, the complete evolution of the standard dome tweeter. Rows of strategically placed magnets drive a large, lightweight, pleated diaphragm that contract and expand, squeezing air into desired waveforms. The result? Wide bandwidth with minimal distortion that features precise detailing and dispersion that engulfs your room in sound crafted by over 75 years' experience.

    The Dawn of a New Standard

    Primary focus is on the AMT development resulting in a radically different way of reproducing high frequency detail efficiently and accurately. Similar cabinet technology to ELYSIAN provides a stable and solid foundation for the drive units with radiused edges to help integrate the driver output with the room acoustics. In addition the unique SLPP bass reflex system, as developed for ELYSIAN, is now incorporated in EVO4.

    Kevlar Materials

    The Evo4.3 speakers feature bi-directional weaved Kevlar woofers, for a naturally self-damped, yet lightweight material with reduced resonances. The Evo4.3 uses the larger 5 inch woofers, along with a 2 inch soft dome midrange driver for increased clarity. The custom designed Wharfedale computer aided optimisation technology allows for fine crossover tuning, resulting in a unified driver performance.

    Exceptional Sound

    As per the uncompromising workflow and standard of Wharfedale loudspeaker development, hundreds of hours of listening plus custom designed WHARFEDALE Computer Aided Optimisation technology allows for the fine tuning of the crossover, perfecting the combination of the driver selection for ultimate performance.

    5m QED 79 Strand Speaker Cable

    Entry-level speaker cable that combines convenience and performance. The figure '8' construction allows 79 Strand to be used in the most demanding placement situations. 99.999% Oxygen Free High Purity Copper (OFHPC) , Low Density Polyethylene Insulation (LDPI), Construction - 2 x 2.50mm2 conductors.
