Wharfedale Elysian 2R Speaker Stands

Wharfedale Elysian 2R Speaker Stands

The Wharfedale Elysian 2R Speaker Stands are specifically designed to perfectly match the Wharfedale Elysian 2R stand mount speakers. They are a superb visual and sonic match and will elevate these great speakers to the next level.

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.

Floor Protectors

Note: The spike feet will scratch floors. Be careful positioning the stands on floorboards, tile or vinyl flooring. No rubber feet or pads are included to protect floors. We recommend using Quadraspire Floor Protectors or Atacama Spike Shoes to protect your floors.

A well designed and constructed speaker stand is required to raise the high frequency drivers of bookshelf speakers to ear level for ideal vertical dispersion, couple the speaker to the floor to drain away vibrations of any kind and decouple the speaker from the floor to prevent any vibration feedback from contaminating the audio chain. The Elysian 2R speaker stand serves all these purposes superbly thereby resulting in an almost holographic soundstage and exceptionally wide dynamic range.

Why Do You Need Speaker Stands?

That question is often quickly followed up with another: "Can't they just sit on the floor?" The truth is you can put the speakers wherever you like but the location and positioning absolutely and significantly affect performance. When bookshelf sized speakers are placed on the floor or against a wall their sonic output becomes 'connected' to the floor or walls. This results in sound that is muddy, distorted and lacking in clarity. Speaker stands elevate and isolate speakers from floors and walls. Sound is clearer and cleaner with much better imaging and a greater sense of realism.
