There are lots of reviews for other Wilson Benesch products on their website. That will give you an idea of how they are regarded around the world. The Discovery and Act I have received excellent reviews in TAS and Soundstage.
Stereophile had a couple of paragraphs on their home page a week or do ago, in which a staff member raved about the sound in the Wilson Benesch/Naim room at the H.E. Show.
I heard the Chimera at the H.E. Show also, and I was very impressed. (That's four woofers by the way, Metralla, in an isobaric configuration.....who needs a subwoofer!! ;-)
I heard the Kharmas, and they sounded excellent also, but I'd give the Chimera's the edge on room friendly-ness in the bass dept. and for the art of their design/looks.
I've heard some other Wilson Benesch speakers, and I can tell you that they are truly world class, you can't go wrong. You will have to have excellent associated equipment to do them justice! Of course there are other speakers I could talk about, but those two are the ones you asked about. Good luck.
