The ELYSIAN 2R is a reference three-way standmount loudspeaker, designed for listeners who want the scale, authority and resolution of a larger high-end speaker while retaining the precision and focus of a standmount design.

With an 8.5” coated glass fibre matrix bass driver, dedicated 6” coated glass fibre matrix midrange driver and further-developed 27 x 90mm AMT treble unit, ELYSIAN 2R delivers a full-range, naturally integrated performance with outstanding vocal clarity, wide bandwidth and powerful bass extension.

The story

The ELYSIAN 2R occupies a special position in the range. It is a standmount loudspeaker, but not a small-scale design. Its three-way driver array allows bass, midrange and treble to be handled by dedicated units, each operating within its optimum range. This creates the sense of openness, control and dynamic ease usually associated with larger speakers, while preserving the imaging precision and placement flexibility of a standmount.

Generation R refinements take this concept further. The crossover network has been reworked to improve phase integration and shorten signal paths. The AMT treble unit provides greater speed and resolution. The midrange driver is engineered for natural expression, while the large 8.5” bass driver gives the 2R genuine low-frequency authority.

For listeners seeking a high-end Wharfedale standmount with scale, substance and finesse, ELYSIAN 2R is the reference choice.

True three-way standmount design

A dedicated bass driver, midrange driver and AMT treble unit allow each part of the frequency range to be reproduced with precision and ease.

Large-scale bass from a standmount

The 8.5” coated glass fibre matrix bass driver delivers depth, weight and articulation beyond conventional compact loudspeaker expectations.

Dedicated midrange clarity

The 6” coated glass fibre matrix midrange driver gives vocals and instruments natural body, texture and focus.

The bass and midrange drivers feature coated glass fibre matrix cones chosen for their durability, lightweight nature, and ability to dampen vibrations effectively. This ensures crisp bass, a natural midrange tone, and minimal colour distortion.

Refined high-frequency performance

The 27 x 90mm AMT delivers open, extended treble with speed, detail and low distortion.

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.

Generation R crossover refinement

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

Engineered for premium systems

With 89dB sensitivity and recommended amplifier power of 25–250W, ELYSIAN 2R is designed for serious two-channel systems where space, precision and musical authority all matter.

SLPP bass management

Wharfedale’s Slot-Loaded Profiled Port system enhances bass extension and control, minimises turbulence, and decreases placement sensitivity. This leads to bass that is strong, quick, and reliable during typical listening conditions.

New Luxury finishes

ELYSIAN 2R comes in Walnut High Gloss, Matte Black, and Lunar Grey, featuring refined matte-black trim details and matching stand options for select models.

Stand and Be Counted

Matching ELYSIAN 2R stands are available, featuring high-carbon-steel tube construction, high-carbon-steel top plates and hardened high-carbon-steel base spikes.

ELYSIAN 2R Stand

The Wharfedale ELYSIAN 2R Stands are specially designed for the ELYSIAN 2R reference standmount loudspeaker, providing the structural support required for its scale, authority and precision.

At 428mm high, the stand positions the ELYSIAN 2R for correct acoustic alignment while giving the cabinet a solid, stable and mechanically controlled platform. This is essential for a loudspeaker of this calibre, where cabinet stability directly supports focus, bass articulation and stereo imaging.

The stand is constructed from high carbon steel tube, with a high carbon steel top plate and hardened high carbon steel base spikes. This rigid, low-resonance structure helps isolate the loudspeaker from the floor and surrounding environment, reducing unwanted vibration and allowing the ELYSIAN 2R to deliver its natural, wide-bandwidth performance with greater authority.

For ELYSIAN R, the finish is now simplified to a single, luxurious Matte Black. This refined visual treatment complements the new generation’s contemporary trims and metalwork, creating a cleaner, more architectural appearance while preserving the unmistakable presence of Wharfedale’s flagship loudspeaker range.
