The 496mm stand height positions the ELYSIAN CR's dedicated 6\" midrange driver and 27 x 45mm AMT tweeter at the optimal height for direct on-axis dialogue projection toward listeners in typical home theatre seating positions, ensuring the centre channel delivers the natural vocal presence, intelligibility, and tonal integration with the ELYSIAN 3R or 4R front channels that Wharfedale's engineers specify for the ELYSIAN R system. The Matte Black finish matches all three ELYSIAN R speaker finish options — Walnut High Gloss, Matte Black, and Lunar Grey — and the metalwork detailing across the ELYSIAN R Series for visual consistency in the complete home theatre installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDedicated Stand for Wharfedale ELYSIAN CR:\u003c\/strong\u003e Purpose-engineered for the ELYSIAN CR Three-Way Centre Speaker, providing correct height and load-bearing capacity for this 30.2kg, 830mm-wide flagship centre channel.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e496mm Height:\u003c\/strong\u003e Positions the ELYSIAN CR's midrange driver and AMT tweeter at the optimal height for on-axis dialogue projection and front soundstage integration with ELYSIAN R floorstanding models.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHigh-Carbon Steel Tube Construction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rigid column structure for maximum mechanical stability and minimum resonance transmission between the ELYSIAN CR and the floor.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHigh-Carbon Steel Top Plate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Solid 618mm-wide top plate providing secure, level support for the ELYSIAN CR's 830mm-wide cabinet.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardened High-Carbon Steel Base Spikes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hardened spikes for coupling to carpet or hard floor surfaces, minimising vibration transmission and improving acoustic isolation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMatte Black Finish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Exclusive Matte Black finish matching the refined metalwork and contemporary visual identity of the complete ELYSIAN R Series across all speaker finish options.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComplete ELYSIAN R System Integration:\u003c\/strong\u003e Designed as both a functional acoustic platform and a considered design element completing a premium ELYSIAN R home cinema installation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCompatible Speaker\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWharfedale ELYSIAN CR\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eColumn Material\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHigh-carbon steel tube\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTop Plate Material\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHigh-carbon steel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBase Spikes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardened high-carbon steel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e496mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e618mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth (with badge)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e373mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFinish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMatte Black only\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the Wharfedale ELYSIAN CR Stand?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Wharfedale ELYSIAN CR Stand is the dedicated centre-channel speaker stand for the ELYSIAN CR Three-Way Centre Speaker, 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 496mm tall and measuring 618mm wide and 373mm deep, finished in Matte Black to match the ELYSIAN R Series metalwork.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy is a dedicated stand important for the ELYSIAN CR?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ELYSIAN CR weighs 30.2kg and measures 830mm wide, requiring a purpose-engineered stand rated for its weight and width rather than a generic centre speaker stand. The 496mm height positions the ELYSIAN CR's midrange driver and AMT tweeter on-axis for seated listeners in typical home theatre configurations, which is critical for the natural vocal presence and dialogue intelligibility that is the ELYSIAN CR's primary function. The high-carbon steel construction reduces vibration transmission between the speaker and floor, directly improving bass clarity and imaging precision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan the ELYSIAN CR be placed on a media unit instead of this stand?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ELYSIAN CR can be placed on a media unit or AV cabinet if the surface provides sufficient weight-bearing capacity for 30.2kg and positions the speaker at the correct height for the listening position. However, Wharfedale designs the ELYSIAN CR Stand specifically to achieve the height, stability, and acoustic isolation the ELYSIAN CR requires for optimal performance. The stand's hardened base spikes and rigid steel column provide vibration isolation from floor-borne energy that a media unit surface cannot replicate. Vinyl Sound Buffalo can advise on placement options for specific room layouts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the ELYSIAN CR Stand come in other finishes?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo, the ELYSIAN CR Stand is available exclusively in Matte Black, which complements the refined metalwork detailing across all ELYSIAN R Series finish options — Walnut High Gloss, Matte Black, and Lunar Grey — maintaining visual consistency in the complete ELYSIAN R home theatre installation regardless of the speaker finish chosen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere can I buy the Wharfedale ELYSIAN CR Stand in Buffalo, NY?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Wharfedale ELYSIAN CR Stand is available at Vinyl Sound USA Inc. in Buffalo, NY, your authorised Wharfedale dealer serving Western New York and the United States. The ELYSIAN CR Stand is sold separately from the ELYSIAN CR speaker and is available alongside the complete Wharfedale ELYSIAN R Series.
