Wharfedale ELYSIAN 2R Stand at Vinyl Sound Toronto Canada

The Wharfedale ELYSIAN 2R Stand is the dedicated speaker stand for the ELYSIAN 2R reference three-way standmount loudspeaker from Wharfedale (Huntingdon, UK), available at Vinyl Sound in Toronto, Canada. Standing at 474mm tall, the ELYSIAN 2R Stand positions the ELYSIAN 2R for correct acoustic alignment at the listening position while providing the structural support that a loudspeaker of the ELYSIAN 2R's 30.5kg per speaker weight and three-way driver architecture requires for focus, bass articulation, and stereo imaging precision. 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 visual identity of the ELYSIAN R Series, the ELYSIAN 2R Stand is sold as a pair and is the recommended acoustic platform for any ELYSIAN 2R installation.

Construction, Height, and Acoustic Isolation

The ELYSIAN 2R 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 2R cabinet from floor-borne vibration, allowing the speaker's 8.5" coated glass fibre matrix bass driver, dedicated 6" midrange driver, and 27 x 90mm AMT tweeter to perform with the natural wide-bandwidth authority, bass articulation, and imaging focus that the ELYSIAN R Series engineering delivers. At 474mm, the stand height aligns the ELYSIAN 2R's dedicated midrange driver and AMT tweeter on-axis for listeners seated in typical hi-fi positions, complementing the ELYSIAN 3R and 4R floorstanders in a full ELYSIAN R system. The 402mm-wide top plate provides a stable, correctly proportioned support surface for the ELYSIAN 2R's 334mm-wide cabinet, and the 434mm depth accommodates the ELYSIAN 2R's 462mm cabinet depth with stability. The Matte Black finish matches the contemporary trim and metalwork across all ELYSIAN R models regardless of speaker finish — Walnut High Gloss, Matte Black, or Lunar Grey.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Wharfedale ELYSIAN 2R Stand?

The Wharfedale ELYSIAN 2R Stand is the dedicated speaker stand for the ELYSIAN 2R reference three-way 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 474mm tall and measuring 402mm wide and 434mm deep, finished in Matte Black to match the ELYSIAN R Series metalwork. It is sold as a pair.

Why does the ELYSIAN 2R require a dedicated stand?

The ELYSIAN 2R weighs 30.5kg per speaker — twice the weight of the ELYSIAN 1R — and requires a stand with sufficient structural rigidity and load-bearing capacity to prevent resonance and movement at this mass. The 474mm stand height positions the ELYSIAN 2R's dedicated 6" midrange driver and AMT tweeter on-axis for the listening position, which is critical for the natural vocal presence and imaging precision that the ELYSIAN 2R's three-way architecture delivers. Generic stands may lack the structural rigidity or correct dimensions for the ELYSIAN 2R's 334mm-wide cabinet and 30.5kg weight per speaker.

How does the ELYSIAN 2R Stand differ from the ELYSIAN 1R Stand?

The ELYSIAN 2R Stand is larger and heavier than the ELYSIAN 1R Stand, reflecting the ELYSIAN 2R's greater cabinet dimensions and 30.5kg per speaker weight versus the ELYSIAN 1R's 15kg. The 2R Stand measures 402mm wide and 474mm tall versus the 1R Stand's 340mm width and 476mm height, and the 434mm depth versus the 1R Stand's 287mm depth accommodates the ELYSIAN 2R's larger cabinet footprint. Both stands use identical high-carbon steel tube construction and Matte Black finish for visual consistency across the ELYSIAN R system.

Does the ELYSIAN 2R Stand come in other finishes?

No. The ELYSIAN 2R Stand is available exclusively in Matte Black, which complements the contemporary trim and metalwork 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.
