The ELYSIAN 1R is the most compact model in the ELYSIAN R Series, created for listeners who want the refinement, speed and musical expression of Wharfedale’s flagship loudspeaker platform in a more room-friendly standmount format. ELYSIAN 1R also makes the perfect surround for an ELYSIAN surround system. Its two-way design combines the further-developed ELYSIAN R AMT high-frequency driver with a 7” coated glass fibre matrix bass/mid driver, delivering a sound that is open, articulate and naturally balanced. Compact does not mean compromised — ELYSIAN 1R is engineered to preserve the essential qualities of the larger models: clarity, tonal richness, precise imaging and effortless musical communication. The Story The original ELYSIAN series was admired for bringing true high-end loudspeaker qualities to a more attainable level. ELYSIAN 1R continues that philosophy by distilling the range’s essential technology into its most compact enclosure. As part of Generation R, the 1R benefits from the same programme of refinement applied across the series. The AMT treble unit is further developed for speed and openness. The coated glass fibre matrix cone is engineered for clarity and control. The crossover is refined for cleaner integration and more direct signal routing. The cabinet preserves ELYSIAN’s sculpted form while gaining the updated finish language of ELYSIAN R. The result is a compact flagship standmount speaker with the precision of a monitor and the warmth, scale and musicality that define Wharfedale. High-end Sound in a Compact Form ELYSIAN 1R brings flagship Wharfedale engineering to rooms and systems where a larger loudspeaker is not required or practical. Further-developed AMT Treble The 27 x 90mm Air Motion Transformer delivers fast, open and extended high-frequency performance with excellent transient accuracy. 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. Coated Glass Fibre Matrix Bass/Mid Driver The 7” driver is engineered for strength, damping and low distortion, helping ELYSIAN 1R deliver natural midband expression and controlled bass. The bass and midrange drivers feature coated glass-fibre matrix cones selected for their durability, lightweight construction, and effective vibration damping. This ensures crisp bass, a natural midrange tone, and minimal colouration. SLPP Bass Management Wharfedale’s Slot-Loaded Profiled Port system enhances bass extension and control, minimises turbulence, and reduces placement sensitivity. This results in bass that is strong, quick, and reliable under typical listening conditions. Luxury finish Options Available in Walnut High Gloss, Matte Black and Lunar Grey, with contemporary trim detailing to match the updated ELYSIAN R aesthetic. Stand and be Counted Matching ELYSIAN 1R stands are available, featuring high-carbon-steel tube construction, high-carbon-steel top plates and hardened high-carbon-steel base spikes.
