| A loudspeaker
is a machine and like all good machines, performance is ultimately
determined by the quality of the materials from which it is fabricated.
In order to achieve the Reference Standard accolades that have been
won throughout the world, Wilson Benesch exerts absolute control over
each and every aspect of the design. In this way we are able to translate
our concepts into the high performance systems that set the standard,
on a global scale, by which the others are judged. The Discovery is the first descendant of the ground breaking Bishop project. There has never been a loudspeaker like it, and it is best described as a Micro Floorstander. Four drivers are compressed into each A.C.T. (Advanced Composite Technology) Alloy strucure, providing a powerful yet controlled performance of outstanding clarity and precision. The alloy structures are finished in a variety of high performance polymers. A bespoke service is also available for the discerning client, interior designer or architect. |
