🎵 Air Motion Transformer – Speed, Transparency and Effortless Extension

The AMT treble unit used in the Elysian series is a hallmark of Wharfedale’s most advanced research. Unlike dome tweeters, the AMT works by squeezing air through ultra-light pleated diaphragms, providing:

• Exceptional transient speed
• High efficiency with extremely low distortion
• Extended, silky top end without harshness
• Massive soundstage width and height

High frequencies are rendered with openness and clarity, revealing layers of micro-detail and ambience that lesser tweeters simply cannot reproduce.

🎤 Stunning Midrange Realism

The 6" woven glass-fiber midrange driver delivers a beautifully natural and expressive sound. Its controlled breakup behavior ensures:

• Warm yet highly detailed vocal reproduction
• Excellent timbral accuracy
• Precise imaging and depth

Voices and instruments feel solidly placed in a three-dimensional space, creating a truly immersive listening experience.

🔊 Deep, Controlled Bass with Monumental Authority

At the foundation of the Elysian 4’s performance are its two 8.5" bass drivers. Engineered with lightweight, rigid glass-fiber cones and high-excursion motor systems, they provide:

• Powerful low-frequency extension down to 28 Hz
• Tight, articulate bass with superb pitch definition
• Room-filling dynamics suitable for both stereo and home cinema

The result is bass that is deep, clean and controlled — never bloated or overwhelming.

🏡 Room Size & Amplifier Pairing Recommendations

• Room Size: 25–70 m² or larger
• Amplifier Power: 30–250 W of high-quality amplification
• Best Pairings: High-current integrated or separate amplifiers
• Ideal Placement: 30–60 cm from the rear wall, slight toe-in for focused imaging

The Elysian 4 thrives in spacious listening rooms and rewards high-quality amplification with breathtaking dynamics and refinement.
