AudioNec Evo 2
One Step Further. Deep Emotions.
Thanks to its additional 28 cm subwoofer that goes down to 20 Hz, the Evo 2 reproduces every micro and macro detail with ease, even when the highest attacks and sound pressures are required.
Still compact, the Evo 2 plays all types of music for all music lovers with authority, even in larger rooms, thanks to its multi-directional dispersion mode.
It has the heart of an Evo 1, but...
Consisting of the DuoPole™ 31, capable of reproducing musical frequencies from 400 Hz to 10 kHz with exceptional efficiency and dynamics, it is relayed by a super tweeter aligned for a perfect acoustic phase up to 45 kHz to ensure the reproduction of high frequencies. Complemented in the low range by a 22 cm woofer in bass reflex, the Evo 2 takes all the drivers of its little brother the Evo 1.
But way more…
Reveal the deepest and most subtle bass notes
Few musical instruments in real life are capable of reproducing frequencies down to 20 Hz (except for some church organs) but it is clear that many of our records contain infrasounds, helping to feel the dimensions of a recording studio, a jazz club, a concert hall or a cathedral and giving the music a solid fondation. This is what the Evo 2 can reveal thanks to its 28 cm subwoofer mounted in a sealed cabinet, offering tense and extremely articulated bass, allowing you to discover all the unsuspected richness of your record library.

The Evo 2 delivers towering, articulated low end and a cohesive midband thanks to its Duopole driver, while supertweeter extension adds airy detail and remarkable dynamic scale. Reviewers from The Ear and Enjoy The Music praise its room-filling soundstage and refined highs; an integrated powered sub reaches down to 20Hz for impactful, articulated bass.
Pros
- Exceptionally deep, articulated bass via the integrated sub (measured to ~18–20Hz) that adds a solid, textured foundation.
- Natural, refined midrange and seamless driver integration from the Duopole design, producing expressive vocals and piano luster.
- Extended, airy highs and a wide, enveloping soundstage with strong micro- and macro-dynamics that retain composure at high levels.
&
Cons
- Requires careful placement and system matching (tends to favor warmer, tube‑based amplification) to avoid a slightly thin lower mid response.
- High price and strong competition in this segment reduce its value-for-money appeal despite excellent performance.

Bass
93/100
Reviewers consistently praised deep extension (subs measured to ~18Hz) and strong texture from ~25–45Hz, while noting that below ~25Hz the speakers lack the complex harmonic weight of very large reference woofers. Given the substantial powered-sub integration and in-room authority, the bass is excellent but not quite reference-level.
Mid
92/100
Midrange is described as natural, refined and harmonically rich with expressive vocals and piano luster. A few listeners noted a hint of reduced lower-mid presence making the very bottom of the midband feel slightly lean, but overall coherence and timbral accuracy are strong.
Treble
94/100
Super-tweeter extension to 45kHz and the Duopole's design give extended, airy highs with openness and no reported harshness. Reviewers repeatedly remark on refined, non-offensive highs and enhanced sense of air and detail.
Soundstage Imaging
90/100
The Duopole/dipole radiation produces a very wide, deep and enveloping stage with strong instrument separation and presence. Imaging is expansive and layered though a few reviews note the images are more about presence and scale than razor-sharp pin-point focus.
Dynamics
93/100
Speakers deliver impressive micro- and macro-dynamic contrast, retain composure at high levels, and convey strong slam and impact. Reviewers highlight clean transient behavior and the ability to handle energetic material without smearing.

Build Quality
94/100
CNC metal framing, solid non-ringing construction, stiff small cabinets and thoughtful feet/isolation are repeatedly noted. Fit-and-finish and engineering (boxless mid/tweeter implementation) are praised as high quality.
Features Connectivity
80/100
Passive baseline applied. Reviews mention two pairs of five-way binding posts (bi-wire capable) and, in AS/active versions, onboard 500W sub amp with bass presets and gain control — useful features, but per passive-tower scoring rules the connectivity score is capped at the baseline.
Value for Money
68/100
Reviewers call out very high pricing (tens of thousands of dollars for standard and Signature variants) and strong competition in the segment. Performance is excellent, but the steep price and system-matching/amp-sensitivity caveats reduce value appeal.
