Money No Object: Avid launches flagship floorstanders for its EVO Series

FULL STORY ======================================================================The
Avid EVO TWO is an evolution of the EVO THREE Low-end frequency of just 28Hz, with a 3.5-way driver design 27,995 / 34,995 / $38,995 (about AU$57,589)

British hi-fi firm Avid has unveiled the new flagship in its EVO speaker range, the EVO TWO, as part of its ongoing 30th anniversary celebrations, which also recently included its first all-new turntable in 12 years .

Avid describes the EVO TWO as an "advancement" of the current EVO THREE speakers, with the new model delivering an enhanced bass response, a wider dynamic range and a more expansive sound stage.

The speakers will be available in the UK, Europe and the US, but they've been made with the US market in mind: according to managing director Conrad Mas,
It is particularly suitable for larger rooms and properties where wall construction may be less rigid, a common scenario in many North American homes." (Image credit: Avid HiFi) Avid EVO TWO: key specs and pricing

The EVO TWO feature a 28mm (1.1-inch) hand-coated soft dome tweeter, two
160mm (6.3 inch) mid-range drivers and a 250mm (9.84 inch) low-frequency driver with a low end of 28Hz the addition of the latter means that Avid is referring to this as a 3.5-way speaker system.

That's not something the company has made up 3.5-way speakers aren't common, but there's a history of great, hefty, floorstanding speakers with hidden
bass drivers.

The drive units are mounted on a rigid anodized aluminum baffle and rear plate, and the speakers are available in two finishes: black or gloss white.

As Conrad Mas explains: "The EVO TWO was developed in response to customer feedback requesting a speaker with great presence and low-end articulation, whilst maintaining the clarity and openness characteristic of the EVO
series."

The EVO TWO will be available through authorized dealers from September 2025 and the price is 27,995 / 34,995 / $38,995 (about AU$57,589).
