New Wilson Benesch Resolution Speakers

I would check with WB that connecting the way you have won't have damaged the speakers in any way. I'll photo the manual tonight when I get a chance.
 
Please check and update , because if it damaged the speakers it will be a problem since according to my manual i connected correct, ill post the photo later when i get home.

please dont forget to post the manual, and for now ,
can you please describe how i need correctly connect the wire based on photo that i posted of my current connections. i'm anxious to try new connection.

No - my manual explicitly states that only two sets of binding posts should ever be connected at once - the top one, and only one of the lower 3. This is in red capital letters so I'd assume it's very important this is done.

it states : only one of the bottom three pairs should be connect at any one time,
i didnt saw yet next page of your manual but i connected mine to one of the bottom three pair, no ?
 
No - all 4 of yours are connected because the jumper leads connect the incoming speaker wire to the other 3 pairs. To match the diagram from my manual, connect the speaker cables to the top pair of binding bolts, then using just one jumper wire, connect the top pair (i.e. where the speaker wire comes in) to one of the other pairs, the bottom pair giving maximum bass.

One question - are the jumper leads in the pic all joined together and are they provided by WB? If so, it may be that your speakers are wired differently to mine / Roy Gregory's, which may explain why your manual is also different.
 
The jumper all joined together and I connected as Manual suggested
And yes the jumper original from WB.

The diagram above is how I would connect my speakers.

However, the fact that your jumper leads and manual suggest connecting differently may mean your speakers are a different specification. Can you show your diagram? I'd also suggest speaking to WB directly to confirm either way.
 
This is what I got with my speakers

Heihei, please don’t forget to share your manual.

How for same speaker could could be two different manuals with different functionality
fom review:
“There are four sets of Wilson Benesch’s in-house binding posts (count ‘em), although they only allow biwiring. You select one pair from the three lower sets depending on whether you want full bass output, a 2dB cut or a 3dB cut, an arrangement that recognizes the fact that the Resolution might well find its way into smaller rooms.”

according to my manual speakers can be connected even as quad amped.

Looking at that suggests you have them set up correctly and the internal wiring for your speakers is different to that of mine / Roy's. Suggest you speak to WB tomorrow for peace of mind.
 
I will for sure,
please share the Manual so ill have something to show them , i need at least the next page where single wire connection diagram shown.
 
I got a reply from WB.

“First of all please let me allay any fears that there is any mistake with the terminal layout on your Resolution. This terminal layout is correct and the manual you have been provided is also correct.

However, we have since introduced other terminal layout options as you have seen on the forum to which you refer. This option was provided for a client that I worked with personally in the U.K. via our home demonstration service. The client identified that they would like an additional option on the terminal block, to allow the bass output to be reduced slightly for their listening room. As a manufacturer, we felt that this modification to the terminal layout could possibly provide some flexibility to others and thus we made it an option. The performance of the Resolution is in no way enhanced.”

Please tell me what you think but , I sense that crossover been modified and speakers became better.

As owner who just got them couple of month back and to me this option was not introduced I think I deserve to have the new modification.
 
Good to hear there isn't an issue with your speakers.

The original pair I had on home demo were the same as yours, and I bought them on the basis of that demo. My speakers sound exactly the same, so I wouldn't say they are better or worse.
 
I must understand something , you got private modification to your speakers ? Because you had over bass ?

I thought it worth jotting down some listening notes as an update to the above. After my initial feedback, the guys from WB came back and repositioned the speakers and took down the bass a notch with a resistor bridge on the isobariks.

The result was transformational and as a result, the Resolutions took us to a pretty magical place musically, with some very moving listening sessions and on one occasion a few tears too. What I’ve learnt is that this comes about by giving a true insight into the performance of the musicians, be that a live recording or a studio session, where you connect with the emotions being expressed. There are a number of aspects of the Resolution’s performance that enable this.



The bass is fantastic, and whilst not plumbing the extreme depths of some designs, gives a good visceral impact on percussion and is texturally really pleasing. I’m intrigued to see what a pair of Torus could add but that is more from the perspective of having your cake and eating it rather than feeling the Resolutions are deficient in any way.

The engineering in the speakers is very visible, with fit and finish being extremely good. In the flesh they look stunning, striking a good balance between having presence but not dominating, and this was true in both large and smaller rooms.

According to your post I understand that the pair you bought was with new modifications.
It’s funny , I rad that post back then and thought to my self , how the heck they took down the bass.
 
Someone here paired his speakers with Torus? Is it worth it ?
I feel that I don’t get enough bass as I would like to.
 
I am the one with a pair of Torus Subs. After reading through some of you online posts Stigmater, I am not at all convinced that you have your system setup properly/optimally. I would strongly suggest you get some help, hopefully from your dealer to perform a basic onsite check including measurements to ensure that you are maximizing what you currently have.
 
Thanks for the advice, I'll see what can be done.
Please share your experience with the Torus.
