Elysian 1 Bookshelf Speakers

The Elysian 1 is a two-way standmount speaker — the compact model in Wharfedale’s flagship Elysian range, built to true luxury standards. A 7" (180 mm) coated fibre-glass matrix bass driver and a large 27 × 90 mm AMT tweeter deliver a sound far bigger and more refined than the cabinet suggests.

The fibre-glass matrix cone is exceptionally rigid and well-damped for low colouration, while the tall Air Motion Transformer moves a large volume of air for effortless, airy treble. A bass-reflex cabinet crossing over at 2.6 kHz gives a 49 Hz – 22 kHz response and a 108 dB peak SPL. At 89 dB sensitivity and a 4 Ω nominal impedance (8 Ω compatible, 3.8 Ω minimum), it rewards amplifiers from 25 to 175 W.

It is the standmount entry to the Elysian Series; the larger Elysian 2 standmount and Elysian 4 floorstander scale up from here. Or browse all our bookshelf speakers.

Wharfedale Australia is the official, AVR-authorised distributor — every Elysian 1 is backed by genuine Australian warranty and local support.


OLD HABITS DIE HARD

Wharfedale’s long-been in the business of giving you more speaker than you pay for. So, presented with the task of taking on the luxury audio market, they just couldn’t help themselves. They had to give you more – a lot more.



CROSSOVER TO PURE HARMONY

Sophisticated computer modelling, hundreds of hours of listening, and the highest quality components ensure that Elysian drivers fire in unison. The technical results are phase consistency and a linear frequency response, but all you hear is perfect harmony.
