The Wilson Benesch Team have now returned to the headquarters in England after a fruitful trip to Bavaria. The Munich High End Show was a remarkable success, not only from our perspective but from an industry perspective. With record numbers of exhibitors, a high standard of presentation and a healthy spirit across the show, the Munich High End show is a healthy 30 years old.

Wilson Benesch presented the much lauded A.C.T.C60 throughout the show. On the back of a strong review in Stereo and third place in the all time magazine rankings, the A.C.T.C60 was a popular choice for audiophiles around the show. In support Wilson Benesch displayed the Odyssey Range. Now approaching its 10th-year in production the range remains as popular as ever, indeed the flagship Chimera placed a high 6th in the aforementioned Stereo Magazine ranking; a testament to the strength of the technologies that Wilson Benesch have engineered.

Also on display and very much at the center of attention for our visitors was the first two products in the new Geometry Series. The floor standing Vector and the stand mounted Vertex, complete with the new Tactic II drive unit and Wilson Benesch’s first tweeter, the Semisphere. The Geometry Series is a technological advance in loudspeaker design. Built with no internal bracing and from extremely rigid, mutually damping alloys and advanced composites. In terms of signal to noise ratio the Geometry Series is at the front of the field.

Of course with any Hi-Fi show, a number of important people make the show what it is. First of all we would like to extend our gratitude to all the attendees of the show and our customers who we are always thrilled to meet. A special thank you to our partners at the show, Audionet, who provided amplification for our presentation. Another important element must be recognised in our German distribution company Taurus high-end. Finally it was a pleasure to meet our key business partners from around the globe and wish them all the success with the Wilson Benesch brand.

Here to share are our little experiences of the weekend.

Stereo also recently announced updated rankings for all speakers reviewed in the magazine. Wilson Benesch are delighted to announce that in the performance category the A.C.T. C60 placed 3rd overall in the rankings with a 97% score. Further to this the Chimera with 96%, placed 6th overall. Clearly we are delighted with the results. At the end of the year the Odyssey Range will reach its 10th-year, but continues to have a strong market presence. A testament to the strength of the technologies harnessed by Wilson Benesch, which are common across the Odyssey Range from Chimera to Arc.

On January 15th, our Dutch distributors Audio Excellence collaborated with HiFi Studio It Harkstee and Music2 to create a wonderful exhibition of the A.C.T. C60 and Arc Loudspeakers.

Set in the grounds of the historic 19th-century Staniastate country estate. The building, which is now occupied by an architectural firm, provided a beautiful backdrop to a presentation of Wilson Benesch products.

Another notable achievement.
Two Wilson Benesch designs with two completely different design objectives in the top five ranking of the influential German magazine STEREO. Also of some note is the age of the Chimera amongst the group. Approaching its tenth year in production, the design can easily claim to have stood the most difficult test, the test of time.

Right now are you considering buying a new car? Perhaps a nice Mercedes Benz C Class, VW Passat or a noble BMW 5-Series? Forget it! My advice would be to consider a car that costs a fraction of the amount. Why? Because you will need the money for a pair of speakers that are driving everybody crazy at the moment! Be it your colleges from work, audiophiles from the heart of the HiFi industry, even an Acoustic Engineer. The point remains, they all pay homage to the speaker of British manufacturer Wilson Benesch, the A.C.T. C 60 Limited Edition.
