Peter Comeau, fondateur de Heybrook, puis ingénieur pour Mission, Wharfedale, Quad, … réalise un coup de maître parmi les enceintes haut-de-gamme !

L’écoute est extrêmement neutre, détaillée et musicale. Avec un grave dynamique et sans lourdeur mais puissant, un médium expressif et des aigus très fins. La scène sonore est spectaculaire. 

Le pouvoir de résolution de cette enceinte ne pardonnera par contre pas une faiblesse dans le choix des sources !

Et à ce prix, aucune autre enceinte n’atteint ce niveau de fabrication : woofers et médium Scan Speak, tweeter Air Motion Transformer, parois multi-couches (50 kg pièce),

La finition est réellement de très haut niveau (laque piano 6 couches faites à la main).

Wharfedale ELY-AMT-01-e1655999325114

The AMT (Air Motion Transformer) is a radically different way of moving air. A large, pleated, lightweight diaphragm is driven across its surface by rows of strategically placed metallic strips immersed in a strong magnetic field. Under the influence of the musical drive the pleats in the diaphragm contract and expand, squeezing the air between them to form the desired waveform.

Not only is this an efficient way of moving air but it is also very accurate as the diaphragm is under close control of the motor system at all times. In addition, the AMT is a velocity, rather than pressure, transducer, capable of producing scintillatingly fast transients and dynamics. The result is a wide bandwidth device that achieves low distortion naturally and delivers wonderful musical detail.

 » The Elysian 4 not only fascinated us, but pressed us directly into the listening sofa. What a picture, what a drive, what passion !

The harmony between the drivers is terrific, like a single surface of sound. Perfect.

The inner harmony is magnificent, the fine pressure of the tempting basses.

Lots of honesty, up the highest level, plus joy of playing and superb workmanship.

So must the truth out: they are the most affordable speakers our reference class (they exceed the Sonus Faber Olympica III).

They line up very far up ! «

 » The Wharfedale’s sound is full of detail, which is organised in a natural and intuitive way.

We like the way they express the album’s dynamic nuances and the skill with which they communicate instrumental textures.

It’s an unforced presentation that’s comfortable and easy-going without sounding bland.

There’s a great deal of analysis on offer, but the musical experience always comes first.

These towers capture the album’s various moods brilliantly.

Only the best products manage to communicate the emotions in music this well.

Stereo imaging is impressive, too. Huge sonic scale.

We are struck by the Elysian’s transparency. They clearly differentiate between the various recordings, their presentation shifting accordingly. »
