This weekend, Wilson Benesch returns to the AXPONA 2026 in Schaumburg, Illinois—North America’s largest high-end audio exhibition, bringing together leading manufacturers, distributors, dealers, and enthusiasts from across the global audio community.
Staged at the Renaissance Schaumburg Convention Center, AXPONA offers a uniquely immersive environment, with over 200 listening rooms and a comprehensive programme of seminars and live demonstrations. It remains a key moment in the international audio calendar—where engineering, design, and musical performance converge.
Wilson Benesch will be supporting our US distributor Fidelity Imports in two demonstration rooms, along with a third room curated by Illinois based dealer Quintessence Audio during the exhibition.
Room 1225 – 12th Floor – Discovery 3zero – Curated by Fidelity Imports

“In more than 25 years of testing, we’ve encountered few candidates that have fascinated us as uncompromisingly as this British loudspeaker… its unparalleled acoustic performance means it has few serious competitors to fear.”
Room 1239 – 12th Floor – A.C.T. 3zero – Curated by Fidelity Imports
The A.C.T. 3zero floorstanding loudspeaker is part of the same Fibonacci Series, employing Wilson Benesch’s advanced bio-based composite monocoque construction. Now in its sixth generation, the A.C.T. design—Advanced Composite Technology—stands as one of the longest-running and most recognisable architectures in the Wilson Benesch portfolio.
Much like the 911 within automotive design, the A.C.T. has retained its core proportions and visual language across decades, evolving materially and technologically with each successive generation. In its latest 3zero form, it represents a relatively compact floorstanding design within the Fibonacci Series, positioned alongside larger systems such as Resolution 3zero, Omnium and Eminence, while preserving the speed, coherence and structural integrity that define the platform.

“The A.C.T. 3zero communicates music with a rare sense of immediacy and resolution, combining speed, tonal integrity, and dynamic authority in a way that feels both effortless and complete.”
Knowledge Room – 1st Floor – GRAVITON Ti Tonearm – Curated by Quintessence Audio
Illinois-based dealer Quintessence Audio Ltd. will present the GRAVITON® Ti Tonearm with the TESSELLATE Ti-D cartridge in a large system on the first floor.
Developed as a core element of the GMT Collection analogue platform, the GRAVITON® Ti Tonearm embodies Wilson Benesch’s advanced materials and structural engineering approach, its tapered, single-piece carbon fibre armwand—integrated with laser-sintered titanium elements to form a highly optimised composite architecture—delivering exceptional stiffness and self-damping, minimising energy storage and preserving signal integrity at the point of retrieval.
Following the launch of the GMT Collection in 2024, Wilson Benesch and Dohmann Audio collaborated in 2025 to develop a dedicated STAGE One armboard for the Dohmann Helix One MK III, precisely optimised for the GRAVITON® Ti Tonearm architecture.
Quintessence Audio represents one of the country’s most established high-end audio specialists. Presented with Mark Dohmann in attendance throughout the weekend, this system marks the first public demonstration of the GRAVITON Ti Tonearm on the Dohmann Audio platform at a US audio exhibition, offering a rare opportunity to experience the integration of these two engineering-led analogue platforms.
Join us this weekend at AXPONA 2026—tickets are available now via the official website.
