Floorstanding Speakers

ELYSIAN 4R

The ELYSIAN 4R is the flagship floorstanding loudspeaker in the ELYSIAN R Series. Created for the most ambitious two-channel systems, it delivers the full scale, authority and emotional depth of Wharfedale’s high-end loudspeaker engineering.

With dual 8.5” coated glass fibre matrix bass drivers, a dedicated 6” coated glass fibre matrix midrange driver and the further-developed 27 x 90mm AMT high-frequency unit, ELYSIAN 4R is designed for effortless dynamics, deep bass extension and a vast, natural soundstage.

It is the most complete expression of Generation R: more refined, more precise and more revealing, while preserving the rich, expansive musical character that made the original ELYSIAN series a modern classic.

ELYSIAN 4R

The story

ELYSIAN 4R builds on the strongest foundations of the original flagship ELYSIAN design. Its purpose is simple: to deliver music with the scale, physicality and natural realism expected from a true high-end floorstanding loudspeaker.

The dual 8.5” bass drivers provide deep, controlled low-frequency authority, supported by Wharfedale’s Slot-Loaded Profiled Port system for extension, speed and reduced placement sensitivity. The dedicated midrange driver handles the crucial vocal and instrumental band with clarity and tonal accuracy, while the AMT treble unit brings openness, air and transient speed.

Generation R refinements elevate the system further. The crossover has been reworked with direct-path PCBs and premium components. Driver manufacturing has been tightened for greater consistency. Cabinet behaviour has been further optimised to reduce resonance and preserve acoustic transparency.

ELYSIAN 4R is not merely the largest model in the range. It is the statement model — built for listeners who want the full depth, power and refinement of Wharfedale’s flagship loudspeaker design.

The story
Flagship ELYSIAN R performance

Flagship ELYSIAN R performance

The 4R delivers the greatest scale, authority and low-frequency extension in the range.

Dual 8.5” bass drivers

Large coated glass fibre matrix bass drivers provide deep extension, dynamic headroom and controlled impact.

The separate midrange unit preserves natural vocal tone, instrumental texture and spatial precision.

The bass and midrange drivers feature coated glass fibre matrix cones chosen for their strength, lightweight nature, and controlled damping. This ensures clear bass, natural midrange sound, and minimal coloration.

Further-developed AMT treble

The 27 x 90mm AMT delivers speed, extension and low-distortion high-frequency performance.

The ELYSIAN R AMT is engineered for speed, openness and precision. Its pleated diaphragm moves air with exceptional efficiency, giving the loudspeaker a sense of effortless detail and natural high-frequency extension.

The R crossover

The R crossover

The ELYSIAN R crossover features premium components such as high-silicon-iron-cored coils for bass, air-core coils for midrange and treble, Super Audiophile polypropylene capacitors, and low-inductance resistors. Innovative direct-path PCBs are designed to maintain signal clarity.

SLPP bass management

Wharfedale’s Slot-Loaded Profiled Port system enhances bass extension and control, minimises turbulence, and reduces placement sensitivity. The outcome is bass that is strong, quick, and reliable in typical listening environments.
