Quad Artera Solus + Wharfedale Evo 4.3

The first of the solutions that QUAD proposes in its Artera range for those who do not want to complicate their lives with multiple separate components when configuring a high-performance audio system, it combines in a single and elegant chassis a preamplifier, a power stage, a compact disc player, a “Hi-Res” compatible DAC section and aptX Bluetooth wireless connectivity.

The EVO4.3 stands out not only for the refinements incorporated into its enclosure and the materials used in its construction, but, above all, for including an innovative tweeter based on the AMT 'Air Motion Transformer' operating principle. of Air Movement). As a result of the particularities of its design, the AMT transducer allows a larger volume of air to be displaced than a conventional dome tweeter from an extremely light diaphragm, resulting in very precise, agile reproduction with less distortion of high frequencies. of the spectrum.
