Wilson Benesch loudspeakers with carbon fiber cabinets Wilson Benesch pioneered the use of advanced carbon fiber composite materials in loudspeakers and turntables. These aerospace-quality materials can be specifically designed to redirect energy and manage resonance and are used in stealth bombers, racing cars and the moon buggy for their extraordinary strength, stiffness, and low mass. Wilson Benesch was one of the first companies to build loudspeaker cabinets from the ground up rejecting the inherent limitations of conventional wood-based materials. Wilson Benesch is well known in Europe and Asia.

Based in Sheffield England - a center of manufacturing excellence in the UK - Wilson Benesch has a talented team of engineers and skilled craftsmen able to take well-researched designs into production using in-house state of the art computerized C.N.C machined engineering. Curved carbon fiber monocoque cabinets also incorporate hand welded steel and other complex compsite materials that are fabricated with precision tolerances of 0.005mm, far exceeding what most other manufacturers can achieve. Designs such as the Discovery loudspeaker - a one-piece stand-mounted loudspeaker with clam-shell Isobaric bass drivers, and the Torus infrasonic generator - with a solid steel core and 3D cross directional carbon fiber diaphragm - are totally unique within the industry.

While other loudspeaker companies use elaborate internal cross bracing, in the new Geometry series Wilson Benesch has evolved the art of monocoque design to the point where internal bracing is virtually eliminated all together. Combining this silent cabinet with the new magnetic flux optimised drivers has resulted in loudspeakers with some of the very best signal to noise ratios in the world. The advantages of superbly engineered drivers and resonant-free cabinets are particularly apparent at higher volumes where the sound is stunningly clean, detailed and vibrant making others sound like veiled recordings of recordings of recordings of the original sound.
Wilson Benesch maintains a strong interest in turntables, tonearms and cartridges again employing carbon fiber technology.

When considering the level of material technology, quality and uniqueness of the engineering, visually pleasing design, and the reference level sonic performance, Wilson Benesch made-to-order components offer exceptional value. Superb custom wood finishes are available for the loudspeakers that look stunning in many environments from traditional to modern loft living.
