Wilson benesch


Does anyone have experience listening to a Wilson Benesch act c60 or maybe similar line of speakers made by that company?
Not much online.   A local guy is selling a pair of those .

These Wilson Benesch’s would be in competition with the big Blades. Can get a new pair for about half price. Local dealer has a both Blades for audition.  The price for the C60 in a Regal Silver is about 13g’s
I've got a friend who owns ACTs. PM me with your email and I'll ask him to contact you. Cheers,

These speakers do not get the accolades they actually deserve here in the states especially. I have owned Magico M2s, focal Scala Utopia and others. These are the most musical and accurate speakers I have heard. The build quality and the components is superior to the Magico. If you listened to the two side by side same equipment you would hear how constrained the Magicos are comparatively.  Right now I have a pair of Vertex(s) which are just a two way but the sound that comes out of them is just wonderful without being fatiguing. In the world of speakerdom all can be subjective but I am considering the Act3Zero now for my end game speaker.  This company builds and assembles all its speakers from in house designed and built components.  I know the fact that they are few US dealers and the importer is a bit eccentric doesn't help much for the optics but these speakers should be on anyone's short list if you are looking for truly accurate, open and responsive sound. 

Wilson Benesch unfortunately don't know how to do crossovers. Often just a cap on the tweeter and nothing on the woofer.

 

 

A different perspective on crossover design... WB builds their drivers to have inherent output rolloff characteristics in order to minimize required crossover components. The requirement of only a single capacitor for the tweeter crossover and running their woofer directly helps contribute to the ultimate level of transparency their speakers provide. With their driver designs these minimal crossovers can be used without risking damage to the drivers or lobing.
