British audio brand Avid is celebrating its 30th anniversary with something bold: a new pair of high-end floorstanding speakers called the Evo Two. If you’ve been following Avid’s lineup, you might already be familiar with their Evo Three model. This new addition builds on that foundation—but takes things up a notch in size, bass output, and room-filling capability.

Released alongside their first new turntable in over a decade, the Evo Two rounds out a milestone year for the company. It also marks a step forward in Avid’s Evo Series, aimed squarely at listeners who want a more immersive listening experience—and have the space to handle it.

At about 3.5 feet tall, the Evo Two clearly isn’t designed to blend quietly into a bookshelf. These speakers are meant to stand out—both physically and sonically.

Inside each cabinet, you’ll find a 3.5-way driver setup that includes:

• A 28mm (1.1-inch) hand-coated soft dome tweeter
• Two 160mm (6.3-inch) midrange drivers
• A 250mm (9.84-inch) low-frequency driver

That 3.5-way configuration is a bit unusual but has its advantages. Instead of the typical 3-way crossover, the Evo Two's setup allows the bass driver to handle only the deepest frequencies. This separation helps keep the midrange cleaner and gives the low end more punch—without the muddiness that can happen when everything overlaps.

According to Avid, the Evo Two reaches down to 28Hz, which means it’s capable of reproducing very deep bass. For many setups, that could eliminate the need for a separate subwoofer.

Of course, when you’re moving that much air—especially with a large bass driver—vibration control becomes a big deal. To manage that, Avid uses something it calls Tuned Mass Technology (TMT). It’s built into the speaker cabinet and works to absorb the energy created by the drivers before it can rattle the box or interfere with the sound.

This helps reduce distortion and improves clarity, particularly in the low and mid frequencies. The drivers are also mounted to a rigid anodized aluminum front baffle and rear plate, which adds stiffness to the cabinet and further helps with stability.

One thing that stands out about the Evo Two is who it’s made for. Avid has openly said that the speaker was designed in response to customer requests—particularly from North America. Larger homes, more open spaces, and even less rigid wall construction are all common in the U.S., and the Evo Two is built to perform well in those conditions.

That focus shows in the scale of the speaker and its output. It’s designed to deliver presence and strong low-end response without sacrificing the openness and detail that’s typical of the Evo line.

The Evo Two isn’t exactly a casual purchase. Priced at $38,995 per pair in the U.S. (£27,995 in the UK / €34,995 in Europe), it’s firmly in high-end territory. That puts it well above the Evo Three, which goes for around $18,000 per pair.

It’s available in either gloss black or gloss white finishes, and Avid plans to start shipping them through authorized dealers in September 2025.

If you already have a carefully tuned listening room—or you’ve been thinking about building one—the Evo Two is likely aimed at you. But even if your setup is more casual, these speakers were built to handle everyday environments, especially in large homes with open layouts.

Ultimately, the Evo Two is Avid’s way of giving its fans more of what they’ve asked for: bigger sound, better bass, and a design that fits larger spaces. It’s not trying to replace the Evo Three but rather give buyers another option at the top of the range.

Whether or not it's the right fit depends on your space, system, and budget. But one thing’s clear—the Evo Two is about scale. In height, in bass, and in the kind of room it was made to fill.
