The Torus -" the most accurate woofer of all times." STEREOPLAY

Wilson Benesch Torus test in STEREOPLAY 7/2006
"LORD OF THE RINGS"
Result: State of Art, Woofer with reciprocally propelled carbon fiber - diaphragm
„The Torus performs like no other woofer we tested before. Within its enormous bass potential it sounds much less brawny and fascinates with truly exceptional clarity and definition.“
„The Torus sounds so tight, well balanced and yet gorgeously rich like no other.“
„Wilson Benesch opens up the door to a new dimension of bass reproduction. The Torus is not the loudest, but it is clearly the most accurate woofer of all times.“

Chimera "dream loudspeaker" awarded 99% in German Journal, STEREO

Wilson Benesch Chimera - „Black Gold“ by Tom Frantzen STEREO 7/2006
„The Wilson Benesch shows it all: Total easiness at brute volumes and convincing play at very low levels where others only launch spiritless whishy-washy.“
„The dream of a speaker that is simply capable of everything. We’re exalted and now understand why you need Formula 1-technology in your living room.“

A.V.guide.com -Torus comments- (Jonathon Valin)

Interesting comments in the AV Guide See links below.

I have never heard a subwoofed system that is more of a piece or (with the right sources) more consistently "fool you" realistic -- or a subwoofer that does less sonic damage to the sound of a superlative main speaker. You will have a hard time getting closer to the absolute sound, particularly in a small-to medium- sized room, than you get with this MAGICO/Wilson-Benesch combo. If ever I've heard a five-star speaker, the Torus/Mini super-system is it.
