In Reply to: 30 Years ago, The Absolute Sound ran my review of Wilson Benesch's A.C.T. loudspeaker (Issue #119) posted by John Marks on July 20, 2024 at 08:06:00:
I hav TAS up to #115, which was December 1998. Therefore, your review in issue #119 must have been from 1999. If you have the Wilson Benesch ACT One since 1994, then it took about half a decade, for the review to be published :-)
We had the stand-mounted Wilson Benesch ARC.
The ARC was "sensitive" to cables. It did not like the XLO S2-5.4BW. It also didn't like the various AudioQuest, Kimber, Nordost, Shunyata, Stereovox, and Wireworld cables we threw at it.
Hopefully the ACT One was much better than the bland, underwhelming, and boring ARC. Overall, the ARC was most comfortable with our Jeff Rowland (with Cardas) or Meridian (with Tara Labs) amplification.

- I think Eggleston Works used to run the mids wide open on some models - Brian H P 13:10:51 07/29/24 (2)
- My one subjective impression at a CES was that that speaker had a very narrow sweet spot - John Marks 15:06:09 07/30/24 (0)
