Description

A genuine example of luxury audio, the Wharfedale Elysian 2 Bookshelf Speakers offer indulgence in design, materials, aesthetics and performance. A thorough and no-compromise approach has led the Wharfedale engineers to create a benchmark in affordable, audiophile-grade luxury loudspeakers. Cutting-edge design and class-leading technology combine to deliver musical reproduction that will proudly challenge the worldโ€™s finest loudspeakers.

From the Piano-Lacquer finished cabinet, created with details of true craftsmanship, through to the AMT (Air Motion Transformer) high-frequency transducers and European-manufactured bass drivers, ELYSIAN 2 further represents a new standard in home audio experiences.

AMT High-Frequency Unit

The AMT (Air Motion Transformer) is a radically different way of moving air. A large, pleated, lightweight diaphragm is driven across its surface by rows of strategically placed metallic strips immersed in a strong magnetic field. Under the influence of the musical drive the pleats in the diaphragm contract and expand, squeezing the air between them to form the desired waveform.

In addition, the AMT is a velocity, rather than pressure, transducer capable of producing scintillatingly fast transients and dynamics. The result is a wide bandwidth device that achieves low distortion naturally while delivering wonderful musical detail.

Midrange Driver

The Elysian 2 midrange driver is a proprietary woven glass fibre matrix formed into a 150mm cone. This provides a superb combination of low mass and high strength, with the addition of a high-plasticity coating to control its acoustic behaviour. With such a low-mass cone, only a low-damping, foamed, rubber-like material would match the surround โ€“ again, coated for durability.

This midrange driver enables the Elysian 2 speakers to deliver voices and instruments with astonishing realism.

Bass Driver

The 220mm bass units can reach below 28Hz in the room, revealing the instruments’ full body and overall impact.

Crossover Components

Crossover components have been chosen for their transparency, with silicon-iron cored coils for bass and midrange featuring low DCR. This allows the amplifier excellent control of the drivers, plus air core coils in the treble and low ESR, Polypropylene capacitors throughout the signal path, ensuring that you hear all the musical detail with nothing held back.

Whether you are listening to solo piano, full orchestra, a jazz trio or multi-instrument rock performance, the Elysian 2 bookshelf speakers can bring the performance’s thrill and excitement into your listening room.
