The Wilson Benesch Precision 2.0 housings are assembled on the basis of an aluminum U-shaped frame, which ensures the highest structural rigidity. Leonardo's own 25 mm tweeter was used, as well as a pair of Tactic II branded drivers (170 mm) - one of them works for bass, the second is responsible for midrange frequencies.
In the model, an inch tweeter with a silk dome is arranged according to the d'Appolito scheme and is recessed into a small carbon waveguide with a Fibonacci spiral applied on top. The ribbed waveguide design with reflective and absorbing surfaces is consistent with the response of the tweeter and allows you to achieve a sound superior to more classic designs with smooth waveguides.
The Wilson Benesch Resolution 3 Zero costs near $102,000 per pair and uses a unique midrange design (Troika System) to achieve exceptionally clear sound.
The Wilson Benesch Omnium features a proprietary Fibonacci Tweeter based on the tweeter design of last year's Semisphere systems. The dome is made of a combination of silk and carbon fiber. The driver itself with a patented neodymium magnet is mechanically decoupled from the housing.
The body of the model is very unusual, and the strangeness begins with the name. So, the A.C.T. 3 ZERO Monocoque is made of Wilson Benesch proprietary material, which increases the stiffness-damping ratio by as much as 30%. Additionally, the body is reinforced with steel ties.
