The Discovery 3zero loudspeaker with a Phantom Belladonna finish graced the front cover of German hifi journal, Audio Test which was circulating at the Munich HIGH END at the end of May. Within the review Patrice Lipeb touches upon different examples of the integrated design and manufacturing philosophy here at Wilson Benesch. He draws examples not only within how the companies manufacturing is setup, but also in terms of the construction of the Discovery 3zero, the drive unit design of the loudspeaker and also the crossover design. A harmony of parts.
The overall review score was 94%. We are delighted to share with you the PDF of the review and some translated quotes.

“Wilson Benesch manufactures as many components as possible for its high-tech luxury audio products in its own factory, located in Sheffield, South Yorkshire. In the more than thirty years of the company’s history, the experience within the Wilson Benesch’ design team has led them to believe that true technical progress of the brand is only possible in a targeted manner if product design and production are combined under one roof. In accordance with this corporate philosophy, Wilson Benesch retains full control over every component of the Discovery 3zero, no matter how small.”
“The futuristic overall design resembles a compact loudspeaker mounted on a custom stand. But this superficial view hardly does justice to the iconic construction of the Wilson Benesch Discovery 3zero. The stand, constructed from aluminium and steel, is an integrated part of the whole loudspeaker, it serves to stiffen and help control resonant energy in the speakers. To extend this concept of integration across the design, the drive units are designed to function as a single point source. Accordingly the drivers are all placed very close to one another, with the tweeter directly below the mid drive.”
