One For The Connoisseur; One For The History Books Founded in 1932, Wharfedale’s founder, Gilbert Briggs, had one goal in mind – to bring music into the home by designing loudspeakers that conveyed the impact, thrill and emotion of performance in an entirely natural and realistic way.
Designer's Notes Revealing the Passion and Excitement of the Musical Performance Wharfedale ELYSIAN is a new flagship loudspeaker series that pushes the boundaries of capability and performance from a speaker at this price-point. A genuine example of luxury audio, ELYSIAN offers indulgence in design, materials aesthetic and performance. A thorough and no compromise approach has led Wharfedale engineers to create a benchmark in affordable, audiophile-grade luxury loudspeakers.

Designer's Notes ELYSIAN In the spirit of Gilbert Briggs, who was well known for experimenting with new driver materials, Wharfedale investigated a range of options to match the MIDRANGE sensitivity and accuracy of the AMT treble unit. The designers settled on a proprietary woven glass fibre matrix, formed into a 150mm cone.

Designer's Notes ELYSIAN The bass units are loaded by an advanced version of Wharfedale's signature slot-loaded port. Christened SLPP (Slot-Loaded Profiled Port), it ensures that the CROSSOVER rear output of the bass units is not wasted. Instead, the lowest frequency energy is vented to a slot at the base of the speaker, specially profiled to equalise the high internal pressure to the low pressure in the room.

Designer's Notes ELYSIAN For ELYSIAN we wanted to create a cabinet that enhanced the acoustic output of the drivers as well as providing a piece of furniture of which the owner can be justly CABINET proud. Hand crafted, exotic veneers are mirrored by true piano finish lacquers, hand polished to six levels of depth to give a truly beautiful finish.
