    Re: Wilson Benesch Forum Now Open

    I will be the first one to post on this forum. I have a pair of Wilson Benesch Vector speakers. Just awesome speakers, dynamic as hell when the music demands. Very neutral without sounding sterile/clinical. Match them with electronics just to the warm side of neutral and they compete with anything that Magico and YG Acoustics can offer in a comparable price range (while being more aesthetically pleasing imo). Also, their size and weight is very manageable. If only their marketing matched their design/technical merits, they would be much better known in the US.

    I recently bought a pair of Wilson Benesch Act 1 Evolution. Im totally happy with them and would echo the above attributes mentioned by apdoc. Mine probably only have 150 hours on them and the dealer recommends up to 500 hours.
    If they keep improving then great but I think they sound wonderful now

    Wow! I am jealous! I would love to hear those speakers but it is rather unlikely as it would be hard to find a dealer in the US who has them available for audition.

    What colour panels did you go for apdoc? Mine are regal silver.
    The fit and finish is impressive.
    When my daughter walks past the speakers she stops to look at herself in the mirror reflection of the carbon fibre.

    I went for the White Gloss option -- looks terrific.

    I've owned some of the best speakers money can buy & people are speechless when I sell them & move on to the next best flavour. These have stopped me in my tracks for 3 years now.... The Torus Infrasonic Generators really are "exceptional" & transform any system.

    Beautiful setup Kev.
    Are they Sanders amps?

    Re: Wilson Benesch Forum Now Open

    Yes, that pic was taken just after I acquired the WB gear. Had a few amps since then & some.

    Re: Wilson Benesch Forum Now Open

    I'm glad to see a dedicated forum where we can all learn more about these great speakers. As "apdoc2004" mentioned earlier, this is an extremely competitive brand with performance and build quality to match, going head to head with the likes of Wilson (US), Magico and YG at much more attainable price levels. The new A.C.T. One Evolution is a most impressive speaker by any standard.

    Here's a recent shot from our showroom in Stockholm.

    Re: Wilson Benesch Forum Now Open

    Agreed. Having owned and enjoyed both the ACT (2nd gen not c60 or new evolution) and a single Torus, WB are amazing speakers and very well designed. I would love to hear the new evolution. WB often pair with CH Precision at shows.

    Re: Wilson Benesch Forum Now Open

    Repeating what I posted in a more appropriate forum:

    Well done! WB is an undiscovered gem.

    Engineering driven and good at the real stuff; designing and manufacturing their own cabinets and drivers from carbon fibre/aluminum + innovative (and proprietary) drivers. Their machined parts are almost sensual to the touch, such is the attention to detail and care in the finishing. Striking styling but very different from the norm.

    Not that good at self promotion (yet) though, very understated and stiff upper lip.

    The Endeavours are sublime sounding; last heard them driven by Gryphon Mephisto/pre + TAD CDP in a roughly 500 sq ft room. Not sure that a Torus would be required though, depending on room size, buy that combo would be more price effective than a pair of Cardinals ...

    Congratulations, bobwah! If I may ask, what other speakers were on the shortlist before you decided on the Act 1 Evos, and what were your previous speakers?

    Re: Wilson Benesch Forum Now Open

    Hi nfnc,
    Before I got the WB I was using some Lenehan Ml1's. They're a small stand mound speaker that are excellent value as they're locally made. This was my first foray into "high end" I actually did most of my listening with headphones (hd800,th900) as I have a young family. As much as I liked headphones I always wanted to assemble a excellent 2 channel system but wasn't able to due to kids/living arrangements.
    Late last year I was finally in a position to spend some serious coin on potentially end game system.
    Where I live I wasn't able to do much auditioning and being a hands on small business owner i wasn't able to travel long distances.
    So I bought the Act without audition Wilson Benesch Forum Now Open
    I did a LOT of research online in regards to WB the company and how their speakers were received previously. And the Mrs liked the look of the Act 1 more than my other choices Wilson Benesch Forum Now Open
    My Shortlist was
    Vivid Giya 3 - wife wouldn't let these in the house. I like them
    Magico s3
    Gauder acoustic cassiano
    Tad Cr1
    All great speakers that I'm sure would of given me great pleasure.
    I'm smitten with the act 1 evo's.
    Whatever I feed them that's what the give me in a totally natural and well rounded package.

    Very nice. They are the Endeavours, WB's ultimate stand mounts, although the stand is really an integral part of the speakers. Plus, the binding post are at the bottom of the stand.

    I consider to trade my Verity Audio Parsifal for ACT Evo 1 , my question is regarding the bass,
    my Verity is rated 25Hz and I very like the bass and in general the speaker , Evo 1 is 34Hz but in many reviews reviewer praise the ability of WB produce deep bass.
    Is the trade worth it and is the bass is that good and deep?

    Hi Stigmater,
    I own the Act 1 Evo and they are very capable in the bass.
    My other speakers are TAD r1. Obviously the TAD go deeper and are more powerful but the Act 1 Evo are very satisfying and within the right sized room I don't think you would be disappointed.
    I have tried a few different amps with them and each time I upgrade the Act 1 Evo get better. I'm sure they're capable of more.
    The Act 1 Evo are such a transparent speaker that it's easy to judge your partnering ancillary components.
    I can't comment on your parsivals as I haven't heard them.

    I hope that helps a little and don't hesitate to ask me any questions

    Cheers
    Rob

    Rob thanks for your reply,
    I would like to share my thoughts on what I here'd today on Demo at my place.
    Today I auditioned Evo 1 with my gear , Vitus SS-025 amp and Klimax DS1 DAC, in casual living room 4x6 meters and compared to my Verity.
    At first the WB sounded a little brighter then my Verity but next I played some jazz and clearly the mid and mid high was better then what I used to ,
    when we switched back to Verity I noticed how thinner the voice of the singer were compare to WB.
    On the other hand on rock music there was a little failure, the bass and warmth was lacking a bit and in speedy parts of the track started a mess with instruments.
    With jazz music all was there including surprisingly well balanced bass.
    Eventualy there was no deal but I clearly understood that I'm looking for something similar to WB but with some more bottom octave.
    I maybe have an option to audition WA Sasha2 at my place.
    I relay would like to here your thoughts , please spill some more details on how you find your TAD compared to WB , what best speaker in this category you here'd and what you think on Sasha2 when taken in consideration the size of my living room.

    Thanks

    Re: Wilson Benesch Forum Now Open

    thanks for write up . I have been thinking about parsivals , do you use the latest version or the ovation ? they are a beautiful speaker brand . I heard some wilsons recently and they were ok [watt puppy I think] but did not have the emotion of the verity

    anyway good luck with the WB , they do look lovely and sound great

    Re: Wilson Benesch Forum Now Open

    couple of other thoughts , have you tried the woofer on the Parsifal forwards and backwards ? does it help with the sound you are looking for ? and also bonzo on here always feels the verity leonore has a more liquid midrange . it might be worth trying as you like the verity house sound it seems

    Does your dealer have a WB Torus? Sounds like its what you may need. Kev might lend you one if his?

    Anyone compared the Geometry series (Cardinal, Resolution, ACT-1 Evolution) vs Magico speakers (M3, S5 & S3 MK2, Q7 MK2, etc)?

    Not side by side, but I've got a rather solid sense of the difference in between the brands and series mentioned. Are you generally interested, or are you looking into some specific models for your own system?

    Re: Wilson Benesch Forum Now Open

    Magico makes among the most transparent and high resolution speakers on the market. They can be remarkable as ultimate sound reproducers. But, you need to be really careful and knowledgeable in relation to matching, placement, room integration etc. to make them sing in a truly natural way imo. They're extremely analytical and revealing, and can easily sound uninvolving and "unmusical" under the wrong circumstances. The MKII version of the S-series as well as the M-series seems to better balanced, homogenic and organic in character.

    Wilson Benesch do share quite a few characteristics with Magico on paper incl. a rather high-tech approach. They've been using a combination of cabinet materials throughout their series for years, incl. a focus on carbon fiber in the top of the line Geometry series. It's interesting to see Magico move in a similar direction with the new M-series. Wilson Benesch speakers does not focus on ultimate transparency and resolution in the same way as Magico does imo. It's all there, but they have a more relaxed, homogenic and dense presentation with great soundstage capabilities. More music - less hi-fi.

    As for the pricing over here in Europe, Wilson Benesch offers much more value in relation to performance and build quality. The situation might be the other way around (at least to a degree) in the US.

    Hope that helps.

    Sounds like a recipe for success, WB seems like a wonderful engineering driven company.
    Another thing I would love to see is measurements, I know, we don't hear paper sheets but would be great if Stereophile or someone measures them.

    Worth adding is that Wilson Benesch is a true family business. Among the most grounded and humble people I know.

    Is there a specific model that you're interested in?

    My WB Act 1 Evolution are wonderful speakers. Very natural and the transparency and performance has climbed each time iv'e upgraded amplifier. Which seems to be happening perhaps too often. Curiosity killed the cat and my bank balance hehe

    Marcus - I really like the new WB Evolutions, have you heard those? They had two pairs at Munich.

    On another note, have you heard the Magico M3's? They are indeed as musical as the WB's, maybe more so, and a complete departure from the Q series.

    Hi Mike,

    Did you refer to the "Resolution"? I did hear them extensively in Munich in two different rooms with CH Precision and Ypsilon. A truly impressive speaker with build quality and finishing to match at the price point imo.



    You can get two pairs of these for one pair of M3's in Europe, which makes a direct comparison a bit less interesting.

    You can get two pairs of these for one pair of M3's in Europe, which makes a direct comparison a bit less interesting.

    Yes, yes. Resolution! They were better with the Ypsilon to my ears. You?

    They are the same price as the M3's here, so....

    Different strokes for different folks, but I do agree that the WB/Ypsilon room was exceptional during the Munich show.

    Well, buying local at times when the USD is strong on many export markets does makes a lot of sense over here in Scandinavia.
