Know before you buy
While the Ultra Evolution Nano is designed for small to medium-sized rooms, they can perform well in larger spaces if used as part of a surround sound system or paired with a dedicated subwoofer to handle the lowest frequencies.
The speakers have a recommended power range of 20 to 150 watts. While they are efficient enough to work with modest receivers, they will benefit from a high-quality amplifier that can provide clean power to fully realize their dynamic range.
The time-aligned cabinet ensures that the sound from the tweeter and the mid-woofer reaches your ears at the exact same time. This results in a more precise soundstage and clearer imaging, making it easier to pinpoint where instruments and vocals are located in a recording.
These speakers are designed for desktop or bookshelf placement and do not feature integrated wall-mounting hardware. For the best audio performance, we recommend placing them on dedicated speaker stands to minimize vibrations and achieve optimal listening height.
The diamond coating increases the stiffness of the aluminum dome, which pushes the tweeter's resonance well beyond the range of human hearing. This results in effortless, distortion-free highs that sound detailed and airy without becoming harsh or fatiguing.
Modern speakers like the Ultra Evolution Nano are designed for use with contemporary flat-panel displays and solid-state electronics, which are not sensitive to magnetic interference. They are not specifically shielded for use with older CRT televisions.
