Wharfedale ELYSIAN 3 Floorstanding Speakers
From the top-of-the-line ELYSIAN 4 and down through the series, the complete range has been the proud recipient of countless awards and honours to support its claim to be a boundary-pushing, price-point-defying example of luxurious loudspeakers.
Developed in response to market demand, ELYSIAN 3 brings all the magnificence associated with its preceding sister models but offers the 3-way configuration and floor-standing design, as seen in ELYSIAN 4, but in a generally more living room-friendly, more compact-footprint format.
As with all ELYSIAN models, each component is engineered to the very highest standard. The drivers, the crossover, the cabinet – every aspect has been developed in harmony and without cost constraint to push the project to its performance limit.

Design Philosophy
The ELYSIAN 3 represents Wharfedale's flagship engineering philosophy: no-compromise performance through meticulous attention to every detail. The AMT tweeter delivers breathtaking high-frequency extension and detail retrieval, while the woven Kevlar midrange and bass drivers provide speed, accuracy, and tonal neutrality. The heavily braced cabinet eliminates unwanted resonances, allowing the drivers to perform at their absolute best.
Every ELYSIAN 3 speaker is carefully inspected and matched at the factory to ensure consistent performance. The result is a loudspeaker that competes with reference monitors costing significantly more, delivering transparency, dynamics, and musicality that bring you closer to the original recording.

- Speaker cabinets cannot be replaced please handle with care.
AV & Stereo Amplifiers
- If your amplifier has HDMI ports, ensure all devices are off before plugging in the HDMI cable
- Turn off the amplifier before swoping out or adding speaker cable
- Amplifiers generate heat, place them in a well ventilated space. if possible avoid having anything on top of the unit.
