Wharfedale ELYSIAN 1R Stand at Vinyl Sound Toronto Canada

The Wharfedale ELYSIAN 1R Stand is the dedicated speaker stand for the ELYSIAN 1R compact standmount loudspeaker from Wharfedale (Huntingdon, UK), available at Vinyl Sound in Toronto, Canada. Standing at 476mm tall, the ELYSIAN 1R Stand places the ELYSIAN 1R at the correct listening height for optimal on-axis driver alignment and imaging precision, while providing a mechanically stable platform that reduces unwanted vibration and resonance. Constructed from high-carbon steel tube with a high-carbon steel top plate and hardened high-carbon steel base spikes, and finished exclusively in Matte Black to match the contemporary metalwork and refined visual language of the ELYSIAN R Series, the ELYSIAN 1R Stand is sold as a pair and is the recommended acoustic platform for any ELYSIAN 1R installation.

Construction and Acoustic Isolation

The ELYSIAN 1R Stand's high-carbon steel tube column, high-carbon steel top plate, and hardened high-carbon steel base spikes form a rigid, low-resonance structure that effectively couples the stand to the floor and decouples the ELYSIAN 1R cabinet from floor-borne vibration, allowing the speaker's 7" coated glass fibre matrix bass/mid driver and 27 x 90mm AMT tweeter to perform with the clarity, imaging focus, and high-frequency openness that the ELYSIAN R Series engineering delivers. At 476mm, the stand height aligns the ELYSIAN 1R's AMT tweeter and bass/mid driver on-axis for listeners seated in typical hi-fi and home theatre positions, complementing the ELYSIAN 3R and 4R floorstanders in a full ELYSIAN R system. The Matte Black finish matches the contemporary trim and metalwork detailing across all ELYSIAN R models regardless of speaker finish — Walnut High Gloss, Matte Black, or Lunar Grey — providing visual consistency throughout the ELYSIAN R installation. Measuring 340mm wide and 287mm deep, the ELYSIAN 1R Stand provides a stable footprint for the ELYSIAN 1R's 263mm-wide cabinet with adequate overhang clearance.

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Wharfedale ELYSIAN 1R Stand?

The Wharfedale ELYSIAN 1R Stand is the dedicated speaker stand for the ELYSIAN 1R compact standmount loudspeaker, available at Vinyl Sound Toronto. It is constructed from high-carbon steel tube with a high-carbon steel top plate and hardened high-carbon steel base spikes, standing 476mm tall and measuring 340mm wide and 287mm deep, finished in Matte Black to match the ELYSIAN R Series metalwork. It is sold as a pair.

Why is a dedicated stand important for the ELYSIAN 1R?

The ELYSIAN 1R weighs 15kg per speaker and requires a stand that positions its AMT tweeter and bass/mid driver at the correct on-axis height for the listening position while providing the mechanical rigidity to reduce floor-borne vibration transmission into the speaker cabinet. Generic stands may not provide the correct height, weight-bearing capacity, or rigidity for the ELYSIAN 1R's 15kg per speaker mass. The ELYSIAN 1R Stand's high-carbon steel construction and hardened base spikes directly improve imaging precision, bass clarity, and high-frequency openness by isolating the speaker from resonance sources that would otherwise compromise the ELYSIAN R Series engineering.

Does the ELYSIAN 1R Stand come in other finishes?

No. The ELYSIAN 1R Stand is available exclusively in Matte Black, which complements the contemporary trim and metalwork detailing across all ELYSIAN R Series speaker finishes — Walnut High Gloss, Matte Black, and Lunar Grey — maintaining visual consistency throughout any ELYSIAN R installation regardless of the speaker finish chosen.

Can the ELYSIAN 1R Stand be used with other speakers?

The ELYSIAN 1R Stand is engineered specifically for the ELYSIAN 1R's 263mm-wide cabinet dimensions, weight, and driver height requirements. While the stand's 340mm-wide top plate could physically support other standmount speakers of similar dimensions and weight, Wharfedale designs and recommends the ELYSIAN 1R Stand exclusively for use with the ELYSIAN 1R. Vinyl Sound's audio specialists in Richmond Hill, Ontario can advise on stand options for other speaker models in the collection.
