Sheffield, UK & Hilversum, Netherlands – March 28, 2025 –
Wilson Benesch is delighted to announce a new strategic partnership with Rhapsody, the leading high-end audio specialist in the Netherlands and Benelux region.
Rhapsody is a passionate team of Dutch audiophiles with decades of expertise, dedicated to more than just high-end audio retail and distribution. Harry and Gwen van Dalen, alongside analogue expert Michael van Polen, have created a carefully curated space where sound and music come alive. Their approach goes beyond traditional hi-fi retail, embracing a holistic, human-centric philosophy that transforms listening into an immersive experience. At its heart, Rhapsody is about forging a deep, emotional connection to music—ensuring that customers don’t just hear sound, but truly experience it in its purest and most moving form.
This exciting announcement follows Wilson Benesch’s recent strategic shift in the United States, underscoring the company’s growing strength across major global markets with both its loudspeaker and analogue technologies. By securing this key alliance in Europe alongside its new direction in the U.S., Wilson Benesch continues to solidify its position as a leader in the high-end audio industry.
Managing Director & Co-Owner, Wilson Benesch
“Wilson Benesch have a long history in the Dutch market, so the opportunity to work with a Dutch distributor with a reputation like Rhapsody feels like an end destination and a natural home for the brand.”
Sales Director, Wilson Benesch
“Rhapsody is a somewhat unique business with a level of expertise – particularly with analogue products such as turntables and tonearms – that is quite unique. Given the recent launch of our GMT® One System and the growing GMT® Collection to which it belongs, this perfectly complements the development of our sales network in Europe. And we are confident that this will strengthen the position of the Wilson Benesch brand in Europe.”
The partnership takes effect immediately, ushering in a new era for Wilson Benesch in the Benelux region.
To celebrate this collaboration, Rhapsody will host a special event in June, bringing together Wilson Benesch directors, valued customers, and live jazz musicians for an evening dedicated to music and life. Hosted by Rhapsody owners Harry and Gwen van Dalen, the event will provide a unique opportunity for attendees to experience Wilson Benesch’s world-class products in an intimate and vibrant setting, with music at the heart of the occasion.
