Horizon: A British Compact Floorstanding Loudspeaker Without Equal

Horizon: A British Compact Floorstanding Loudspeaker Without Equal

Praised by i-Fidelity for creating a sound far larger than its compact form, the Wilson Benesch Horizon is the entry-point floorstanding loudspeaker of the Fibonacci Series. Hand-built in Sheffield, England, Horizon is the natural counterpart to the Discovery 3zero standmount, bringing the same cutting-edge engineering and craftsmanship to a design optimised for those who prefer a floorstanding solution.

Though modest in footprint, the Horizon astonishes with the scale and authority of its performance. As i-Fidelity observed, this is achieved through innovative enclosure technology, where reducing cabinet wall thickness unlocks a much larger internal air volume. The result is a presentation that combines effortless low-frequency weight with holographic soundstaging, creating the impression of a far larger loudspeaker — ideal for smaller living spaces without compromise.

The Horizon integrates our proprietary Fibonacci tweeter and multiple Tactic 3.0 drive units, designed for seamless integration, phase coherence, and wide bandwidth. At the heart of the design lies the curved A.C.T. 3zero biocomposite monocoque, developed through the European SSUCHY Project. This advanced structure delivers class-leading stiffness, damping, and resonance control, ensuring a clean, transparent platform for musical expression.

i-Fidelity praised the Horizon’s transparent and neutral presentation, its ability to unravel fine micro-dynamic detail, and its remarkable musicality. The review concluded that Horizon sets a benchmark among compact floorstanding loudspeakers, offering a refined yet powerful sound that few designs of its size can match.
