3 way loudspeaker system using 2 drivers
In addition, the double woofer surround perfectly guides the moving coil in the air gap of a double magnet system without swing phenomena and ensures that the damping increases in proportion to the amplitude of displacements of the cone, guaranteeing excellent power handling capacity and a perfect mechanical damping to the moving coil. As a result of the very favorable relationship between the diameter and the weight of the woofer cone, transient response is excellent and the establishment of the waves train is very fast, which produces the vibrant, living sound. The ogival tweeter with annular compression chamber is unbaffled, and is endowed of a remarkable delicate and uniform directivity, resulting in an extremely smooth treble response with a complete lack of listening fatigue. Although the Evolution 3 is insensitive to its immediate environment, is very easy to drive, and does not require high-end amplification, it deserves to be associated with uper mid-fi and high end equipment, considering its high level of musical performance. EQUIPMENT
1.1 polyamide tweeter ; anti-vortex phase plug with optimized profile
uncoupled from the magnetic core, surround compression chamber controlling the
amplitude of the peripheral cone displacements; double magnet system and
ferrofluided air gap for perfect temperature conductivity and optimized damping
of the moving coil.
6 and 12 dB/Octave configuration of serial type. Crossover frequencies at 100 and 3900 Hz. Selected components with low tolerances, pure deoxygenated copper hand wound air coils, polypropylene capacitors.
Tuned triangular transmission line, event port is progressively coupled with
the external air, permitting dissipation of system overvoltages at a frequency
that suppresses the effects of classic direct radiation event ports.

Monde de la Musique To
say that the evolution 3 reminds us of the « Offrande « ,
our reference loudspeaker, also designed by Jean-Marie Reynaud, is very
meaningful : this speaker is indeed one of the greatest achievements of
this manufacturer. The evolution 3 shares with the « Offrande
« a distinguished way to let the sound float in an ocean of light. We
don't mean that the sound is disembodied or merely ethereal. On the contrary,
the foundations of the music are remarkable stable and powerful (the bass is
magnificent, full and lithe at the same time). But, above all, we are charmed by
the Evolution's way to free the music of all electronic constraints.
Sounds seem to gush forth from an invisible orchestra. Those accustomed to the
concert hall will marvel at the magic of the sound : its emission, its
expansion, its extinction. Absolutly transparent, the Evolution 3 doesn't
conceal any detail so that it can, paradoxically, disappear behind the music.
Though the Evolution 3 perfectly translates the inspiration of the
musicians, in its subtlest nuances, this speaker has nothing of a surgical
device that would dissect the music : blood, flesh and muscles are on the
contrary preserved ! The stuff « between the notes « , this
impalpable thing that generates the emotion of the music, becomes magically
audible. The Evolution 3 owes these stupefying qualities to its perfect
tonal balance, absolutely linear, and to its outstanding dynamic capacities. The
slighest inflexions of the musical gesture, the smallest variations of the bow
on the strings or the vibrato of a human voice are translated with an uncanny
realism. The astouding tranparency of this speaker allows the listener to
instantly distinguish bad recordinds from good ones. When switching from a CD to
another, differences are easily perceived. You'll
hear music instead of hearing speakers. With a first-class recordind, emotion is
nearly paroxysmic. Easy to drive, this speaker deserves of course
state-of-the-art electronics, as respectful as it is of the music. The
Evolution 3 enriches the prestigious range of Jean-Marie Reynaud's products.
There is little doubt it will delight the most demanding music lovers. Strengths :

REVUE DU SON » October
1998 J.Hiraga R.Lacrampe Jean
Hiraga :
Jean-Marie Reynaud is known for improving all over again models that were
already several times upgraded. In the case of the Evolution 3, which we
first rewieved in April 96, we noticed an obvious improvement concerning the
frequency range response, the linearity (checked by listening and measurements),
the registers coherency, the very refined and chiseled treble. Above these
technical considerations, we also appreciated the faithful timbres of this
speaker that sounds despite its size like a much bigger one, even in the bass
register. Robert
Lacrampe :
Jean-Marie Reynaud has a particular place in the heart of audiophiles. We have
no choice but to say his products offer, with astonishing constancy, sonic
qualities that distinguish them from their competitors. For Jean-Marie Reynaud,
the ear must not yield in front of measurements. That's why this speaker sound
so right. That's why its low end is so unbelievably powerful, without no
emphasis of any kind. Its naturalness could make speakers with bigger drivers
and enclosure, but badly designed, blush with shame. The stereophonic image
seems to be larger than deeper, but has a truly holographic precision. Bravo ! TECHNICAL
