Beauty
Aesthetically the forms are svelte and precise in appearance. A more contemporary and attractive
design that is clearly in keeping with current expectations for interior design conscious consumers
who demand the very highest quality without sacrificing sonic performance. Build quality is
exceptional with all parts assembled to the finest tolerances. Finishes are extensive and available
in both straight veneer, burrs and birds eye wood types. For the demanding consumer we can
offer bespoke options that mean that if it can be extracted without harming the planets
ecosystems we can produce it. Architectural polymer finishes in Silver and black are also available
and again colours can be specified that are capable of being matched to any interior colour
scheme as another bespoke option.
Improving performance whilst reducing cost to the consumer
The A.C.T. One price has been very stable with only one price rise in seven years. We can say
with some pride that contrary to the norm in the industry all these changes have been introduced
without incurring a price increase and in actual fact the price has been reduced! These
considerable changes will underline Wilson Benesch’s position at the forefront of technology at
this sector of the market. The A.C.T. One broke the mould and challenged the loudspeaker
industry of 1995. It was always going to be a hard act to follow but in this solution we believe
that we have excelled ourselves. The A.C.T. One was always held in high esteem by all who heard
it, and it is still used today as the Reference Loudspeaker system by the largest audio journal in
the UK. It won twelve awards from every corner of the globe and sales have remained buoyant
throughout its seven year reign, a C.V. that few if any could compare.
The new sound
The new A.C.T. sounds even more like an electrostatic in the way that it conjures a three
dimensional sound field with even more dynamism than the A.C.T. Two. It is more accurate and
the increase in mass gives it an authority and presence that will embarrass other systems costing
many times more. It is possible to say that the quality of reproduction from such a diminutive
and elegant enclosure has never been achieved before and it is without doubt an appropriate and
fitting tribute to the A.C.T. One and A.C.T. Two, designs which it replaces as of November
2002.
