Wilson Benesch has never been associated with the simple conventional box
solution. We were the first company in the world to set the new agenda of
fully curved floor standing loudspeaker systems. Wilson Benesch
loudspeakers have never been constrained by conventional production
techniques. The critical point is not that we have assembled the cabinet to
form a structure that is almost devoid of flat resonant sections. Nor is it that
we have invented a panel to imitate the characteristics of the carbon
composite structure. It isn’t the attention to detail which sees every line and
curve assembled to create a visual harmony that will blend seamlessly into
the most demanding environments. It isn’t the low diffraction
characteristics which cause the structure to disappear without trace. It is the
fact that we have shown how loudspeakers can be assembled differently. It
is this that makes
the Actor such a significant product. The ubiquitous and inadequate mass
produced box is simply not acceptable.
So why do boxes fail to meet the need? Some, but by no means all of the
reasons are listed below:
• Boxes cause internal standing waves. Standing waves cause
increase in output at that and multiples of that frequency,
result inaccuracy.
• Boxes are made of flat panels that are easily excited into
giving off their own sound, result distortion, smearing,
booming, inaccuracy.
• Boxes cause severe diffraction at the edges informing the
listener exactly where the sound is coming from.
• Large side panels are flat reflectors. The human ear can easily
detect such simple shapes. Result, the illusion of real music
is destroyed and in its place, that average Hi Fi sound.
Wilson Benesch speakers never sound like Hi Fi. Curved, complex
structures, unique materials technology, profiled edge and corner facets,
angled complex top plate, careful attention to porting, solidly terminated
electrical and mechanical systems all combine to provide the unique sound
that is beyond the reach of convention. Wilson Benesch loudspeakers
rejoice in their lack of convention. Their distinctive appearance evokes the
idea of fitness for purpose. In a world of banality it is a product that will
maintain its value and be capable of improvement. The Isotactic polymer
another World’s first from Wilson Benesch, is the first upgrade that has
become available and is now fitted as standard to all our loudspeaker
systems. The advent of driver production by Wilson Benesch will see other
innovations that will provide further improvements in pursuit of excellence.
We know that you have a choice and we would like to thank you for
investing in a Wilson Benesch product.
