Zo goed als nieuw, nu extreem scherp geprijsd! De wharfedale elysian 4 vloerstaande luidsprekers behoren tot de absolute topklasse binnen hifi-audio en zijn ontworpen voor een uiterst gedetailleerde,
This Wharfedale Elysian 4 delivers a warm, shimmering sound with exceptional piano clarity and a three-way design that makes large speakers surprisingly amplifier-friendly. Listed at €3,999, this is a strong bargain, sitting well below the 25th percentile (€4,641) of the typical used market for this model, where the median asking price is €5,350.
The Elysian 4 is well-regarded for its classy build, rich soundstage, and high 92 dB sensitivity, paired with an Air Motion Transformer tweeter that adds shimmer to strings. At this price, the included cables and accessories offer meaningful upside, making it a genuine buying opportunity for enthusiasts seeking high-end performance without the usual cost. The listing’s clean condition and original-owner appeal further enhance its value, with no material caveats to raise given the price’s distance from the median.

Wharfedale traces its roots to 1932, when Gilbert Briggs, a music enthusiast and audio pioneer, crafted his first loudspeaker in the cellar of his home in Ilkley, Yorkshire, England. Named after the scenic Wharfedale valley along the River Wharfe, the company quickly gained traction among radio enthusiasts, winning early competitions and expanding to a factory near Bradford by 1933. Sold to the Rank Organisation in 1958, with Briggs managing until 1965, Wharfedale evolved from wartime subcontracting to postwar dominance in high-fidelity audio, blending British engineering heritage with relentless innovation.
The brand remains synonymous with loudspeakers, pioneering designs like the roll surround cone in the late 1950s, ceramic magnets in 1962, and the acoustic suspension system in the 1960s for deeper bass in compact cabinets. Iconic models such as the Linton, Denton, and enduring Diamond series—launched in 1981—define its core. While it briefly ventured into amplifiers, receivers, turntables, tuners, and even televisions or DVD players until 2008, Wharfedale now focuses exclusively on audio equipment under the International Audio Group.
Wharfedale occupies a solid mid-tier position in the hi-fi market, celebrated for delivering exceptional value, musicality, and build quality that punches above its price point. Far from high-end esoterica or vintage collector bait, it appeals to discerning buyers seeking reliable, globally recognized performance without boutique premiums, its classics like the Diamonds remaining staples for generations of audiophiles.
