Wharfedale ELYSIAN 2R Speaker Stand at Vinyl Sound Buffalo, NY USA

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 Buffalo, NY USA. Standing at 474mm tall, the ELYSIAN 2R Stand positions the ELYSIAN 2R's dedicated midrange driver and AMT tweeter at the correct on-axis listening height while providing the structural support that the ELYSIAN 2R's 30.5kg per speaker weight and three-way driver architecture requires for bass articulation, imaging focus, and midrange clarity. Constructed from high-carbon steel tube with a high-carbon steel top plate and hardened high-carbon steel base spikes, finished exclusively in Matte Black to match the contemporary metalwork across all ELYSIAN R Series models, and sold as a matched pair, the ELYSIAN 2R Stand is the recommended acoustic platform for any ELYSIAN 2R installation at Vinyl Sound Buffalo, NY USA.

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 couples the stand to the floor while decoupling 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 three-way ELYSIAN R architecture delivers. At 474mm, the stand height aligns the ELYSIAN 2R's midrange driver and AMT tweeter on-axis for listeners seated in typical hi-fi positions. The 402mm-wide top plate provides a 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 full 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 Buffalo. 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 matched 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 instability at this mass. The 474mm stand height positions the ELYSIAN 2R's dedicated 6" midrange driver and AMT tweeter on-axis at the listening position, which is critical for the natural vocal presence and imaging precision that the three-way architecture delivers. Generic stands typically lack the structural rigidity or correct dimensions for the ELYSIAN 2R's 334mm-wide cabinet and 30.5kg weight.

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

The ELYSIAN 2R Stand is larger and more heavily built 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 with a 434mm depth, compared to the 1R Stand's 340mm width, 476mm height, and 287mm depth, accommodating the ELYSIAN 2R's larger cabinet footprint. Both stands use identical high-carbon steel tube construction and Matte Black finish for visual consistency.

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.
