The design team took on the goal of retaining all that audiophiles have admired about the “British sound,” such as warmth, intimacy, freedom from listening fatigue, and uncolored response. Simultaneously, they sought to improve those qualities that audiophiles of today value, such as fine detail retrieval, spacious, three-dimensional imaging, and freedom from enclosure-induced colourations. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Elysian uses the Air Motion Transformer (AMT) tweeter from the EVO4 range. The large, pleated lightweight diaphragm is driven across its surface by rows of strategically placed magnets. Not only is this an efficient way of moving air, but it is also very accurate as the extremely low-mass diaphragm is under close control of the motor system at all times. The result is a wide bandwidth transducer that achieves low distortion and delivers exceptional musical detail without being fatiguing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAMT tweeters are fast, and need dynamic drivers that can keep up. The Elysian uses a woven glass-fiber matrix cone with an ideal combination of low mass and strength. A high plasticity coat provides damping to suppress high-frequency resonance. A specially shaped central phase plug linearises the output across a wide bandwidth, even well off-axis for exceptionally natural sound throughout the room. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bass port uses Wharfedale's SLPP system in which both ends of the port tube are flared with a semi-parabolic flange to linearise airflow. The low-frequency energy is then vented to a slot at the speaker’s base, specially profiled to equalize the high internal pressure to the room’s low pressure. The result is an entirely natural recreation of bass instruments’ fundamental notes presented with authority and articulation, without port-induced distortion and noise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eNon-Resonant Wood Sandwich\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnderneath the hand polished piano lacquer finish of the Elysian, lies a multi-layer enclosure composed of layers of different wood products sandwiched together. The dissimilar resonance characteristic of each material serves to cancel the other’s resonance for vibration and coloration-free performance. All of the drivers’ acoustic energy launches directly into the room instead of vibrating the enclosure panels.

Of particular note is the phase consistency between the drivers, allowing the power response to be highly linear and consistent throughout your listening room. Elysian crossovers use the highest grade, acoustically transparent components throughout, ensuring that you hear all the musical detail with nothing held back. You’ll hear the full body of instruments like cello and bass guitar without straining to enjoy the complete dynamics of the musical recital. Whether you are listening to solo piano, a full orchestra or a jazz trio, or a multi-instrument rock performance, Elysian is more than capable of bringing the thrill and excitement of the performance into your listening room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eElysian Enclosure\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eElysian's beauty is more than skin deep.

Book matching creates symmetry and yields maximum continuity of grain, a pattern that is most pleasing to the eye. Elysians are only sold in pairs to ensure that the veneer pattern is similar for both speakers. The fit and finish of Elysian cabinets are extraordinary, the equal or better of speakers selling for two to five times the price.

The design team took on the goal of retaining all that audiophiles have admired about the “British sound,” such as warmth, intimacy, freedom from listening fatigue, and uncolored response. Simultaneously, they sought to improve those qualities that audiophiles of today value, such as fine detail retrieval, spacious, three-dimensional imaging, and freedom from enclosure-induced colorations. On top of that, the design brief noted that they need to be beautiful and finely finished enough to be worthy of placement in the finest homes and galleries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eAMT Tweeter\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Air Motion Transformer (AMT) tweeter in the EVO4 range is a radically different method to move air than a conventional dome tweeter. A large, pleated lightweight diaphragm is driven across its surface by rows of strategically placed magnets. Not only is this an efficient way of moving air, but it is also very accurate as the extremely low-mass diaphragm is under close control of the motor system at all times. The result is a wide bandwidth transducer that achieves low distortion and delivers exceptional musical detail without being bright, harsh, or fatiguing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eElysian Midrange\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDetermined to match the sensitivity and accuracy of the AMT, the Wharfedale design team chose a unique woven glass-fiber matrix cone with an ideal combination of low mass and strength. A high plasticity coat provides damping to suppress high-frequency resonance. A specially shaped central phase plug linearizes the output across a wide bandwidth, even well off-axis for exceptionally natural sound throughout the room. With Elysian, you will hear astonishingly realistic reproduction of voices and instruments. Vocalists and musicians appear to be present in the room with you. Close your eyes and listen to the palpable presence of the performance in your listening room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eElysian Bass\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe woofer cones are the same low mass yet stiff woven glass-fiber matrix as the midrange driver. The most advanced version of Wharfedale’s unique port system–the Slot Loaded Profiled Port (SLPP)–vents the woofers. As with all other bass port designs, the woofer’s rear radiation is not wasted but vented into the room. But that is where the similarities end.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bass energy in the enclosure is under high pressure. In conventional port designs, air turbulence occurs when the bass waves abruptly exit into the low-pressure room. This turbulence wastes bass and often causes annoying “chuffing” or “popping” sounds, sometimes referred to as port noise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the SLPP system, both ends of the port tube are flared with a semi-parabolic flange to linearise airflow through the tube. The low-frequency energy is then vented to a slot at the speaker’s base, specially profiled to equalize the high internal pressure to the room’s low pressure. The result is an entirely natural recreation of bass instruments’ fundamental notes presented with authority and articulation, without port-induced distortion and noise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bass units and SLPP bass reflex system provide the massive foundation on which the rest of the musical performance sits, letting you feel as well as hear the full impact of thunderous low-frequency information.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eElysian Crossover\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCombining the drivers’ outputs is an advanced computer-modeled crossover that has been developed over hundreds of hours of listening tests, fine-tuned to make sure that the blend between the drive units is seamless. Of particular note is the phase consistency between the drivers, allowing the power response to be highly linear and consistent throughout your listening room. Elysian crossovers use the highest grade, acoustically transparent components throughout, ensuring that you hear all the musical detail with nothing held back. You’ll hear the full body of instruments like cello and bass guitar without straining to enjoy the complete dynamics of the musical recital. Whether you are listening to solo piano, a full orchestra or a jazz trio, or a multi-instrument rock performance, Elysian is more than capable of bringing the thrill and excitement of the performance into your listening room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eElysian Enclosure\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eElysian's beauty is more than skin deep. Underneath the hand-polished piano lacquer finish lies a multi-layer enclosure composed of layers of different wood products sandwiched together. The dissimilar resonance characteristic of each material serves to cancel the other’s resonance for vibration and coloration-free performance. All of the drivers’ acoustic energy launches directly into the room instead of vibrating the enclosure panels.

Book matching creates symmetry and yields maximum continuity of grain, a pattern that is most pleasing to the eye.

Its three-way design combines a dedicated midrange driver with twin 5\" woofers, giving it greater bass capacity than the EVO 5 standmount models without requiring the larger cabinet and 6.5\" drivers of the EVO 5.4. The EVO 5.3 is sold as a pair.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEVO 5 builds on the architecture of the preceding EVO 4 Series with larger cabinets, revised drive units, redesigned crossovers, and a new version of Wharfedale’s Slot Loaded Profiled Port.

Instead of moving forward and backward like a conventional dome tweeter, the AMT’s lightweight pleated diaphragm contracts and expands to move air. Its large radiating area and limited diaphragm travel are intended to provide wide horizontal dispersion with low distortion and fast transient response.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWharfedale adds SilentWeave, a cotton-and-felt damping material, to the chamber behind the diaphragm to absorb internal reflections.

The network uses polypropylene capacitors and air-core inductors in the midrange and treble section, along with a revised circuit-board layout that shortens the signal path between the input terminals and drive units.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cabinet uses layers of wood with different densities to control panel resonance and reduce the transmission of energy from inside the enclosure.

For the EVO 5 Series, the system has been redesigned to vent in three directions—to the left, right, and rear—rather than the two-directional arrangement used in EVO 4.

Available in black, white, or blue, the Denton 1S is designed to look at home in modern spaces while keeping a clear link to Wharfedale’s classic British hi-fi identity.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSpeaker Type:\u003c\/b\u003e 2-way bookshelf\/wallmount\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEnclosure Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Bass reflex\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTransducer Complement:\u003c\/b\u003e 2-way\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCoaxial Driver:\u003c\/b\u003e 6.5\" black polypropylene cone with 1\" silk-dome tweeter\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSensitivity (2.83 V @ 1 m):\u003c\/b\u003e 88 dB\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRecommended Amplifier Power:\u003c\/b\u003e 30–100 W\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePeak SPL:\u003c\/b\u003e 95 dB\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNominal Impedance:\u003c\/b\u003e 8 ohms\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMinimum Impedance:\u003c\/b\u003e 4.5 ohms\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFrequency Response (±3 dB):\u003c\/b\u003e 50 Hz–20 kHz\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBass Extension (-6 dB):\u003c\/b\u003e 45 Hz\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCrossover Frequency:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.6 kHz\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCabinet Volume:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.5 L\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWall Mounting:\u003c\/b\u003e Rear-panel 3\/8\" thread\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDimensions (HWD):\u003c\/b\u003e 13\" × 9.29\" × 10.04\" (330 mm × 236 mm × 255 mm)\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNet Weight:\u003c\/b\u003e 15 lb.
