🎵 AMT Tweeter – Air, Speed and Effortless Detail

At the heart of the ELYSIAN 2 is Wharfedale’s advanced Air Motion Transformer (AMT) tweeter. Unlike traditional dome tweeters, the AMT moves air through a folded diaphragm, providing:

• Ultra-fast transient response
• Extremely low distortion
• Wide dispersion for a large, open soundstage
• Extended high-frequency performance with smooth, airy treble

This tweeter captures micro-detail, ambience and spatial cues with remarkable precision, making the ELYSIAN 2 ideal for high-resolution digital sources and refined analog listening.

🔊 6" Woven Glass-Fiber Mid/Bass Driver – Precision and Dynamics

The proprietary 6-inch woven glass-fiber cone delivers exceptional stiffness-to-weight ratio, enabling:

• Clean, articulate midrange with natural vocal reproduction
• Fast, accurate bass without overhang
• Low distortion at high SPL

Engineered with a low-loss rubber surround and an optimized motor system, the driver maintains control even under demanding musical passages.

🔒 SLPP Bass System – Deep, Controlled Low Frequencies

Wharfedale’s Slot-Loaded Profiled Port (SLPP) extends bass depth while minimizing turbulence and distortion. Inspired by studio-grade transmission line principles, SLPP provides:

• Smoother airflow compared to traditional rear ports
• Enhanced bass extension for a standmount speaker
• Flexible room placement

The result is tight, powerful bass that blends seamlessly with the midrange.

🏡 Room Size & Amplifier Pairing Recommendations

• Ideal Room Size: 18–40 m²
• Amplifier Power: 25–250W recommended
• Works beautifully with high-quality Class AB, Class A or modern Class D amplifiers

For optimal performance, use with solid, resonance-controlled stands and pair with electronics capable of high current delivery.
