Vandersteen Quatro Wood CT Evo — the Evolution of Iconic Speakers

Vandersteen Audio has introduced an upgrade of the famous Vandersteen Quatro Wood CT acoustic systems — the new speakers are called Vandersteen Quatro Wood CT Evo. Traditionally for the company, a scheme with active subwoofer sections in each speaker is used here. The acoustics has a stable impedance of 8 Ohms, but a rather low sensitivity of 87 dB — so, for operation, an amplification of 40 to 200 W is required. Despite the presence of a built-in active subwoofer, the speakers do not require an external crossover — a bi-wire connection from the amplifier is enough.

The key component of the Vandersteen Quatro Wood CT Evo acoustic systems is the Carbon Tweeter, originally developed for the flagship Model 5A Carbon model. For the midrange, a patented 4.5-inch Reflection-Free driver with a system of radical suppression of sound reflections back is used. Each Vandersteen Quatro Wood CT Evo speaker features dual 8-inch CounterForce low-frequency drivers powered by integrated amplifiers with an 11-band equalizer that allows for precise bass tuning to suit the acoustics of a particular room. In keeping with Vandersteen Audio's philosophy, the Quatro Wood CT Evo speakers feature time- and phase-matching of all drivers.

Vandersteen Quatro Wood CT Evo speakers are available now with a suggested retail price of $23,900 per pair.
