Wilson Benesch A,C.T. & Wilson Audio Watt Puppy8

Have premiered the WPs but may not be able to audition the ACT; however, before I invest in the WPs I'd like feedback on the ACT. I have read great things about these speakers. Musicality and dynamics are important to me. I have a lot of acoustic jazz, jazz fusion, male and female vocalists, blues and house music on vinyl and cds that I will be playing. Amplification will be Spectron amps in monobloc configuration and Joules preamp. Really would like to hear from individuals who have actually heard, or own these speakers and can make comments and comparisons based upon actual experience. Thanks.

I thought I hated the WP8's. Heard them locally with Theta blocks; at shows with various tube gear and Pass Labs (Pre-ed with an ARC Ref 3).
Then I heard them with Bat Rex and 150SE's. Best sound at the RMAF two years ago IMHO.
Just an educated guess, but Spectron will sing better IMO with the Puppy 8's.
I've heard the ACT's with Dehavilland (obviously), and with ARC amps and a Shindo pre (not as bad as you might think...). I've never heard them with class D, or ANY solid state. Maybe there's a reason?
