Wilson Benesch and Marantz Reference

I am considering this combo but have never heard them together. Do they have synergy? What type of sonic signature can I expect from this combo. One of the main reasons I am considering this combo is because I can get them at cost through my work. I was looking into the following pieces from each company.

MARANTZ

SM-11S1 Power Amp
SC-7S2 Preamp
SA-7S1 SACD/CD Player

WILSON BENESCH

Curve's
Trinity's

My Cabling will be AUDIOQUEST and TRANSPARENT

AUDIOQUEST

Sky 1m XLR interconnects
William E. Lowe Signature powercables

TRANSPARENT

Super MM2 8ft speaker cable

PS AUDIO

Powerplant Premier

Any Comments would be greatly appreciate

We had unbelievable synergy at the Rocky Mountain Audio Fest. We had the Curves and the ACT's paired with deHavilland electronics.

"DeHavilland Electronics with Wilson Benesch speakers. The room we revisited the most. Sound to die for."

So many unknowns here to make a proper recommendation. I would suggest that if the price is right, and you get them at cost to try them and see what you think. That is all that really matters.
I highly doubt that you will find anyone here that has the exact components, in a room that is exactly your size, that has the same exact musical tastes as you....so just go for it....and let us know.

Cheers,
John

I have WB Act and Chimera. They worked great with Mark Levinson 436 and Chord amps. Don't know with Marantz but should be fine. WB are some of the finest sounding speaker out there.
