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 had the W/P8 for a year with ARC Reference amplification. I couldn't fall in love with the 70-80Hz pick and lack of low bass, forward midrange, lack of detail and transparency.
WB introduced in Munich high end show the ACT C60.

Dgad,

See the W/P8's farfield response and averaged response in WP's (Stereophile) listening room.
Part of the problems with the bass I had could be behavior of my room.
