Wilson Benesch A,C.T. & Wilson Audio Watt Puppy8


Have premiered the WPs but may not be able to audition the ACT; however, before I invest in the WPs I'd like feedback on the ACT. I have read great things about these speakers. Musicality and dynamics are important to me. I have a lot of acoustic jazz, jazz fusion, male and female vocalists, blues and house music on vinyl and cds that I will be playing. Amplification will be Spectron amps in monobloc configuration and Joules preamp. Really would like to hear from individuals who have actually heard, or own these speakers and can make comments and comparisons based upon actual experience. Thanks.

I am an owner of the ACT1, but I have had the opportunity to listen to the various combinations under different environments:

a) WP8
b) ACT
c) ACT & Torus
d) ACT & 2 Toruses
e) C60 & 2 Toruses

In general, WP8 has a thicker and heavier bottom end which gives the music bottom "heft".

The WB signature sound is generally quick and clean (& leaner, some might say) in presentation. With the Torus or Toruses, its signature sound maintains, but music has better "dimensionality" with firmer bass foundation.

I would be happy with either combination!
