Own one of the finest loudspeakers, never before seen on the used AudiogoN market, at a great price! 
 
Here is what Wilson Benesch states regarding this amazing speaker: 
 

The Square Five is a two-way
electrical, four-way acoustical floorstanding loudspeaker and the first new
design to emerge since the release of the ground breaking Cardinal Flagship
project last year.

 

Like the Cardinal, the Square Five
sees the Troika System implemented for a beautifully seamless, natural and
coherent integration of mid and high frequency drivers never seen before at
this price point. Mid-range accuracy is achieved with precision matched drive
units deployed either side of the Square Five’s Scanspeak tweeter, the same
unit seen in the Chimera, which sits at the perfect acoustic center of the
Troika arrangement.

 

 

“if the Square Five were developed
from scratch, I hate to think how much it would have cost. But because it can
piggyback on the development costs already invested in the Cardinal, the result
is, in technological and material terms, really quite incredible. A true
example of trickle-down technology, it’s way beyond a bargain; by any normal
measure this is an absolute steal

Roy Gregory, The Audiobeat, January 2014

 

 

At the rear of the Square Five
cabinet, a unique, high energy loss diaphragm effectively deals with out of
phase energy to improve dynamics and perfectly damp the exuberant capabilities
of the world renowned Wilson Benesch Tactic drive unit. The design of the
Square Five allows the amplifier direct control and perfect harmony with
respect to driver cone dynamics. The absence of any filter components on the
mid drivers ensures a transparent performance, free from phase distortions or
colorations brought about by even the most expensive crossover components
available. The resulting sound is closer to the real world signal than any
other known passive solution.

 

 

The Square Five packs a sonic punch
and will appeal to discerning high end listeners who appreciate a natural,
balanced and sincere sound reproduction. A variety of noise defeating systems
are deployed in the cabinet to achieve vanishingly low levels of noise and
coloration, enabling long periods of listening without fatigue or desire to
“crank the volume” in pursuit of detail retrieval.

 

“the ability to shape each driver’s
response with such precision, to fit it so precisely to purpose, that makes the
Square Five possible. The result is not just tonally even and dynamically
coherent; absent the discontinuities in harmonic color and musical energy that
mar so many loudspeakers, the Square Fives achieve a level of musical
expression and communication that belies their price… it brings a
sophistication, nuance and substance to the musical event that make for both
instant engagement and long-term satisfaction”

 

Roy Gregory, The Audiobeat, January 2014

 

 

Situated at the Square Five’s
foundation is the Isobaric Module, a high precision alloy monolith hewn from a
15 kilogram slab of aluminium alloy. This subsystem delivers a multiple number
of key functions that are structural as well as acoustic. Referenced to the
ground via 14 millimetre precision turned spikes, taken from the ACT C60 shelf,
the uncompromising design dictates to two powerful Wilson Benesch Tactic bass
drive units. The Square Five’s lightning quick, isobaric bass unit integrates
seamlessly with the Troika system to create an exceptionally cohesive, coherent
sound field that is free of all phase distortions commonly found in competing
designs.

 

 

“its performance is so beautifully
balanced, so unusually natural and expressive that even one listen should
reveal its superiority. It really does deliver on the promise of trickle-down
technology, standing head and shoulders above most of the competition”

 

Roy Gregory, The Audiobeat, January 2014

 

Why invest in a high-volume, conventional design with
common componentry, when you can enjoy real high end performance and innovation
in a precision engineered, hand built product for the same price?
