EgglestonWorks Artisan Series Ready For UK Audition
EgglestonWorks' Artisan Series loudspeakers are now available for demonstration in the UK through Auden Distribution's dealer network.
EgglestonWorks' Artisan models bring Memphis-based company's handcrafted excellence, and reputation to a price level generally associated with mass-produced products, states the manufacturer.
With prices ranging from £6,000 to £12,500, the Nico EVO, Emma EVO and OSO are all hand-built to order, just like the brand's higher-end models, such as those in the Reference Series, where prices start at £70,000 for the Savoy Reference Signature.
The £6,000 Nico EVOlution is the entry point of the EgglestonWorks Artisan EVO series and sports a re-designed cabinet, internal bracing and porting systems. This standmount speaker comes with its own custom stands and features a 6-inch woofer paired with a 1-inch fabric dome tweeter and Hi-Dynamic Range voice coil/magnet system resulting in a claimed 38Hz-24kHz frequency response and 87dB sensitivity from this 8 ohm-rated speaker.
The middle child is the Emma Evo, a 43-inch tall floorstanding loudspeaker that brings in a pair of 6-inch woofers to match with the 1-inch fabric dome tweeter and Hi-Dynamic Range voice coil/magnet, enabling it to reach down to a stated 30Hz. Priced at £7,500, the Emma Evo has a nominal impedance of 6 ohms and an 88dB sensitivity.
Top of the current Artisan Series is the £12,500 Oso. This 45-inch tall floorstander is a 3-way system utilising a single tweeter, a pair of 6-inch midrange units, and a side-firing 10-inch woofer, resulting in a claimed 28Hz-24kHz frequency response and 87dB sensitivity. Nominal impedance here is quoted at 4 ohms.
Although at a comparatively more attainable price point, we are assured that the Artisan models continue to feature carefully selected components and materials and can be finished in pretty much any colour you wish - just like their more aspirationally-priced siblings.

applause awards
Each time StereoNET reviews a product, it is considered for an Applause Award. Winning one marks it out as a design of great quality and distinction – a special product in its class, on the grounds of either performance, value for money, or usually both.
Applause Awards are personally issued by StereoNET’s global Editor-in-Chief, David Price – who has over three decades of experience reviewing hi-fi products at the highest level – after consulting with our senior editorial team. They are not automatically given with all reviews, nor can manufacturers purchase them.
The StereoNET editorial team includes some of the world’s most experienced and respected hi-fi journalists with a vast wealth of knowledge. Some have edited popular English language hi-fi magazines, and others have been senior contributors to famous audio journals stretching back to the late 1970s. And we also employ professional IT and home theatre specialists who work at the cutting edge of today’s technology.
We believe that no other online hi-fi and home cinema resource offers such expert knowledge, so when StereoNET gives an Applause Award, it is a trustworthy hallmark of quality. Receiving such an award is the prerequisite to becoming eligible for our annual Product of the Year awards, awarded only to the finest designs in their respective categories. Buyers of hi-fi, home cinema, and headphones can be sure that a StereoNET Applause Award winner is worthy of your most serious attention.
