Wilson Benesch Arc Speakers?

I owned the ARCs before I upgraded to the ACT Ones a few months ago. Believe me, they are TREMENDOUSLY impressive speakers. I was simply amazed by their accuracy, transparency and absolute absence of box coloration. They were the first speakers I ever heard that did not sound like music coming out of a box, and I bought them on the spot! I went to the ACT Ones only because they go slightly lower (even though the ARCs have great bass output for their size), and my wife wanted floorstanders for aesthetic reasons. The Sonus Fabers are nice but are not in the same league as the Wilson Benesch speakers. I'm speaking from real experience here. GET THE ARCS. YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!

We are Benesch dealers so I realize I am biased - but I own a pair of Arc's myself. They are that good. Until you get to the DIscovery's at $8200/pair you can't approach the sound of the Arc's. They are awesome speakers.

Had a chance to hear the ARCs last weekend. WOW! They are simply incredible IMO. The sound stage is fantastic. I'm simply amazed at how much bass these tiny boxes generate. Very tight, also. These speakers are better than the B&W Signature 805's and can easily hold their own against the Dynaudio Special 25's ( again in my humble opinion ).
They have to be on specially made stands as there are 2 reflex ports on the underside of the cabinet.

As the owner of Sonus Faber Electa Amator IIs, and just having sold some very impressive Piega C8LTDs (for space, NOT sonic reasons!), I'd have to caution you against taking comments which suggest there is any speaker line which is in a league above SF. Better in one's system, room, or more in line with one's personal tastes...sure.
Now, a Benesch was reviewed sometime back in TAS. If memory serves, the reviewer liked the sound, but was a bit nonplussed that one of the speakers was ill-finished. At that price point, and for a speaker known to be destined for critical appraisal, this is most unusual.

I listened to a ton of speakers before making my final decision, and the Wilson Benesch was a great speaker however I felt that it gives up detail in an effort to recreate low frequencies. I also really liked Dynaudio's but I went with Sonus Faber's new Cremona Auditor. I felt it was more detailed and just gave me goosebumps every time I listened to them.
Now I am on to electronics.
