Wharfedale Elysian C - Walnut - Center Speaker

About the Wharfedale Elysian C - Walnut - Center Speaker:

ELYSIAN Center adds a new dimension to the performance of the ELYSIAN series by tailoring the application to stunning home theater settings.

Every component is designed to the very highest standard. The drivers, the crossover, the cabinet - every aspect has been developed in harmony and without cost constraints to push the project to its limits. This thorough and uncompromising approach has led Wharfedale engineers to create a benchmark in affordable audiophile-quality luxury loudspeakers. Advanced design and leading-edge technology are combined to deliver musical reproduction that will proudly challenge the world's best speakers.

A proven concept in the form of the award-winning ELYSIAN 4 and ELYSIAN 2 models, the ELYSIAN Center continues with the specially designed AMT HF driver; a radically different way of moving air, using a large, folded, lightweight diaphragm driven across its surface by rows of strategically placed metal strips immersed in a strong magnetic field. The folds in the diaphragm contract and expand under the influence of the musical drive, squeezing the air between them to form the desired waveform. With an ultra-light membrane material called "PET" and an acoustically damped back chamber, the ELYSIAN AMT distinguishes itself from similar high-frequency units by delivering even more mesmerizingly clear and sweetly extended high frequencies.

ELYSIAN Center operates in a three-way configuration and is also equipped with custom-made fiberglass matrix cone bass units. Sealed with a highly flexible rubber surround and driven by a specially developed low-distortion motor system, the 220 mm (8.5 inch) bass units can reach below 27 Hz. The result is impact and bass excitement that provide a totally immersive theatrical experience.

As found in the ELYSIAN 2 and 4 models, the ELYSIAN Center uses a proprietary mid-range woven fiberglass matrix. This structure offers an excellent combination of low mass and high strength, with the addition of a high plasticity coating to control acoustic behavior. With such a low-mass cone, only a low-damping, foamed, rubbery material would fit the surround - again, coated for durability. A linearized output over a wide bandwidth, even off-axis, enhances a natural response to the music that can be heard
wherever the listener chooses to sit.

This combination of drivers, further tuned for purpose, brings a new level of vocal palpability and soundstage presentation. The musical timing, spatial presentation and precision in delivery, make ELYSIAN Center downright stunning in terms of realism in audio/visual applications. Soundtracks come alive and cinematic scenes explode with energy!

Beautifully finished, ELYSIAN speaker cabinets are designed to enhance the acoustic output of the drivers and provide a piece of furniture of which the owner can be justly proud. Handcrafted veneers are enhanced by genuine piano lacquers, hand polished to six levels of depth. This refined touch offers a truly striking aesthetic, unmatched at this price.
