The Wilson Benesch C-60's Amazing Carbon Fiber Technogy
| “ |
Right now are you considering buying a new car? Perhaps a nice Mercedes Benz C Class, VW Passat or a noble BMW 5-Series? Forget it! My advice would be to consider a car that costs a fraction of the amount. Why? Because you will need the money for a pair of speakers that are driving everybody crazy at the moment! Be it your colleagues from work, audiophiles from the heart of the HiFi industry, even an Acoustic Engineer. The point remains, they all pay homage to the speaker of British manufacturer Wilson Benesch, the A.C.T. C 60 Limited Edition.

Combine the C-60's with the Torus Infrasonic Generator and you will have response from 18 Hz to 80 kHz. WOW
Torus Infrasonic Generator and Torus Amplifier
In a nutshell the 18" diaphragm operates in push pull. Where the diaphragm of a typical subwoofers is brought back to the neutral position by a stiff suspension, the Torus diaphragm operates in push pull like electrostatic speakers. That is why they it is so much faster and why it has been called "the most accurate subwoofer of all times" by Stereoplay. No high end system can be called complete without one.
Torus Infrasonic Generator and 200 Watt Amp/Crossover Retail $10,300.
A Game Changer
The Bricasti M1 DAC.
From Stereophile and The Fifth Element John Marks August 19 th .
“From its beginning, Bricasti's M1 DAC was conceptualized and designed not for the professional but for the audiophile market. Zolner told me that they started out with the notion that Bricasti would offer audiophiles a DAC conceptually similar to Benchmark's DAC-1 (a product he respects for the performance it offers at its price). But what Bricasti had in mind was something more expensive, and therefore with fewer of the cost compromises a near-$1000 retail price mandates. One thing led to another, and the no-engineering-compromises DAC Bricasti ended up building is not only more than twice the size of a Benchmark DAC-1; at $7995, it is a lot more expensive.”
“Brian Zolner says that the design brief for the M1 was that it should sound "fast," "revealing," "open," and "spacious." He says that the two years of development after they already had a working DAC circuit were devoted to arriving at creative solutions to the inherent problems of "Red Book" CD playback—solutions that would not involve just putting someone else's off-the-shelf answer in a new chassis with a new name on the faceplate.”
“Pros: Fast, detailed, effortlessly powerful, musically revealing. Fatigue-free listening. The best digital playback I have heard.”
“Verdict: Class A+…….”
