Wilson Benesch A.C.T. One Evolution

Wilson Benesch A.C.T. One Evolution Store Demo, full warranty.

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...
