Wilson Benesch ARC w/Factory Stands, Cherry Wood Color and Carbon Fiber


The Arc can form the basis for a sophisticated two way or multi channel system.

The Arc is assembled from exactly the same technology as the Discovery. It is capable of being used in isolation or wall mounted but the stand makes for the ideal mounting for this cutting edge technology two way loudspeaker.

Pleasure in Progress: It is always a pleasure when one encounters superb engineering, and when the design is original it is all the more intriguing. Technology affects all our lives, nothing more so than materials technology. History has categorized the Stone, Bronze & Iron ages by the materials that drove technological advance in these eras.

Developments in audio equipment are no different. The innovative curved A.C.T. carbon fibre panels that were originally engineered by Wilson Benesch in 1995 may well have been imitated by numerous wood based solutions but the difference in performance is obvious. When did you last see an M.D.F. Formula One Racing car or a wooden racket at Wimbledon!

Ownership of Wilson Benesch audio equipment is a pleasure. It is about the emotional satisfaction we derive from music of course, but it is also about pride of ownership & progress. About being involved with the technology of the time and the pleasure of advanced engineering that goes beyond the limits of yesterday's technology.

Speakers are like new and come with original jumpers. I do not have the original boxes any longer. The speakers were used in a second system and played rarely so they are still like new.. Speakers new with Cherry fnish cost over 5500.00.  Pick up only or arrange for your own carrier to pick up and I would handle packaging them up for safe shipping.
