I'm kind of mystified at the lack of attention given to these speakers.

They appear to me to be the Goldilocks of the Elysian range, but I only see one serious review. I would also imagine the combination of their gorgeous finish and compact footprint would give them a stellar Wife Acceptance Factor. Am I missing something?

There are plenty of reviews online if you look.
I have just done a quick search and found six.
The only thing you are missing when it comes to WAF is perhaps, the price...

I think the challenge for Wharfedale is perception, because this range comes up alongside KEF Reference, Sonus faber and suchlike that possess better established reputation at the higher end.

I’d love to hear some, as I’ve always been fascinated by ribbon style tweeters, ever since the ESS models of the late 1970s, with ‘air motion transformers’. Somehow, they’ve never quite taken off enough to eclipse good old dome tweeters.

Holy smokes. I went four or five pages deep into Google search results. Saw a ton of reviews for the 4 and 2 but only one for the 3. Though there were lots of descriptions masquerading as reviews. Is that what you were seeing? If not, maybe I need to figure out how to get European search results instead of U.S.? The review I did find is a Brit.
