1. Package Opening and First Impressions

When the EVO 150 arrived, she eagerly tore the packaging, eager to take a closer look at this amazing piece of audio device. The first thing that impressed me was the amazing design of the speaker – the polished aluminum finish, and the clean, simple minimalist aesthetic immediately caught my attention. Cambridge Audio has obviously given a lot of thought in the form of the EVO 150  making it a real hub for any audio setup

When I carefully removed the speaker from the box I was impressed by its large weight which is evidence of components and build quality. The back panel is well managed with a variety of input and output options, including RCA, XLR, and digital communications, providing enough flexibility to integrate the EVO150 into the current setup,

2. Setting Up the EVO150

With the speaker safely out of the box, I started the process of setting it up in my sound system. I have carefully attached various source components, including Sheet Bifirst DAC, Sheet Locative EQ, and Sheet Miniphono Preamp, ensuring smooth integration.

An important feature I wanted to test was the EVO150's built-in mobile magnetic subwoofer. As a vinyl enthusiast, I was curious to know how it works compared to my dedicated sheet mani subwoofer. I attached the Fluence RT 84 turntable and started playing some of my favorite recordings, listening intently to any differences in sound quality

3. Putting the EVO150 to the Test

With the setup complete, it's time to dive deeper into the performance of the EVO 150. I started by comparing the speaker's internal DAC to Sheet Byfirst, where I played a variety of high-resolution audio files from a computer equipped with Adirona. I was immediately impressed by the clarity and detail that EVO 150 was able to extract, with a sound stage that looked amazingly open and spacious.

Next, I turned my attention to the phono subwoofer and put it in its stages with a variety of vinyl recordings. I was happy to learn that the built-in Phono stage of the EVO 150 stood out against the custom SheetMani, which provided a rich, warm, and exciting analog experience. The low noise efficiency and accurate channel separation were particularly noteworthy.

As I continued to explore the capabilities of the EVO 150 I was impressed by its impressive power and control. When running the Elac Debut 2.0 F-62 speaker, the speaker easily handled the dynamic lanes, providing a level of power and control that impressed me considerably.
