Wharfedale Elysian 3
#5 in Floor-Standing Speakers · Rated 4.5
Premium 3-way floorstander with AMT tweeter
Wharfedale’s Elysian 3 is a flagship-level floorstanding designed to offer scale and drama in a more compact footprint than the Elysian 4. It uses a three-way, four-driver layout with an AMT air-motion tweeter, a 150 mm midrange, and dual 180 mm bass drivers. The cabinet employs Wharfedale’s advanced build techniques to minimise cabinet resonance, resulting in a wide, detailed sound with a natural timbre and a rich, extended bass. The Elysian range carries Wharfedale’s heritage into the upper echelons of hi-fi, making the Elysian 3 a compelling option for those seeking a luxurious, room-filling sonic experience without stepping up to the extremely high-end mega-towers.
