The Geometry series speakers provide texture. The sound is holographic and layered, more like a painting than a photograph. I find their musical presentation addictive. When you close your eyes, you get lost in the music. It is a surreal experience. Not only do the speakers have a world class sound but they also have an elegant and luxurious appearance with a sleek and modern form factor. In my opinion the Geometry series embodies what the two channel listening experience is all about— adding dimension and depth to music while provoking a strong emotional response. 

OVERVIEW:

The name A.C.T. is an acronym for ‘Advanced Composite Technology’ - it is a reference to the carbon fibre composite technologies upon which the Wilson Benesch brand was founded and subsequently has become synonymous with.

TECHNOLOGY:

The A.C.T. One Evolution is a full range, 4-way acoustical, 2.5-way

electrical, floor standing loudspeaker that incorporates the latest drive unit and cabinet construction technology derived from one of the company’s engineering masterpieces, the Cardinal loudspeaker.

Taken as a whole, the A.C.T. One Evolution — with its characteristic foot design, drive technology and alloy baffle — is a pure Geometry Series thoroughbred.

REVIEWS:

“The A.C.T. One Evolution is the distillation of all the engineering and materials science development that Wilson Benesch can throw at a loudspeaker… where the original A.C.T. One began ‘tabula rasa’, the A.C.T. One Evolution draws upon drive unit technology and high compression cabinet construction derived from two decades of loudspeaker design...
