  I have the Wharfedale Evo 4.2's, and they produce a little warm sound with a good bass response. The amt tweeters aren't overly bright, but still produce great treble. This test displays the B&W 606 S2's which are a bit more dynamic, with a slight brighter sound in the mid range to me. Great comparison between the speakers. Well done 👍

  I have both pairs. I bought the 606 S2 Anniversary after the Evo, because I expected a brighter sound. I got a brighter sound, but I don&apos;t really need that level of brightness. In this kind of video comparison, the 606 S2 sounds better for me, but in a live comparison in my house the Evo produces more detail. The bass is not as deep, but it sounds harder, faster and more dynamic. Also, the sound stage is wider. Everyone who listened to my 606 S2 said the sound was clearer, but when I made a comparison with quick switching, they all said the Evo had more sound, more detail, and a wider soundstage. <br>I don&apos;t know why, 606 sounds more cheerful. When I listen to something new, I don&apos;t know for some details and I&apos;m happy, but when I listen to it from Evo, I hear something more. On the 606 the guitar sounds mellow. It&apos;s like comparing a guitar with plastic and metal strings. <br>Now I only use 606 and am trying to give them a second chance.

  I wonder how a slightly larger woofer in the evos would have sounded

  En este video B&amp;W se escucha más dinamico que Evo, no tengo ninguna de esas dos marcas por ahora, tengo klipsch, lo que aprendí es el sonido en V que posee klipsch puede mejorar los medios ligeramente despues de horas de uso, para muchos conocido como burn, el autor del video podría contarnos si las bocinas son ambas nuevas o si hay diferencias en el tiempo de uso y eso produzca la diferencia en el video vs comentarios
