Classic vs Evo.....

The answers are:

d. All of the above.

In most instances, the Classic Four will provide a better musical experience than the Evolution because of the lower distortion, wide dispersion design. Evolutions do have an edge in bass performance, however.

Compared to a T5, the Four will have a more spacious, "open" sound and more resolution. The bass will likely have a little more "thump" on the Four, vs a more precisely tracked and rendered bass on the T5/T6. I suspect the Four will play marginally louder than the T5, but not quite as loud as the T6. I also suspect that few people will need or have interest in the X2/A1 add on.

They do compete with each other. The Evos are deemed to be more "custom installation" and the Classic is more "retail/audiophile"

Both speakers are high-end in their own way, the Evos being more forgiving of bad environments and the Classics making the most of good ones. Each has their own strengths.
