I was not able to find any info about them on Wharfedale (UK) site. 
Does anybody know anything about them?

I have a pair of Wharfedale EVO 30's. Even though this pair of speakers are 17 years old, they still make beautiful music in my wife's system. Still have very competitive sound for their age.
Still not much out there about these. May try to call MD about the sensitivity.
Just heard the evo 4.4s at the capitol audio fest. Astonishing. Absolutely gorgeous midrange with airy silky highs (Eva Cassidy recording). Palpable 3d holographic imaging and natural tone and timbre. Oh, and rich yet controlled bass :)

They are on my list of "make me happy for under 5k" speakers for sure. These, zu audio, and spacial m3s were all stunning performers at the show in this range.

I also heard the $999 Evo 4.2s at Capitol Audiofest and they sounded much better than I expected.  Definitely worth an audition if they are in your price range.  The Mofi/Wharfedale room was using a Rogue Audio Sphinx which doesn't seem to get great reviews from owners online, so I think they can sound a lot better (and I own a Rogue Cronus Magnum II amp and like it quite a bit so I'm not biased).
