Wilson Benesch Square Two Series 2 Floorstanding Speakers (Trade in)

Trade in, good physical condition and function, minor flaws elsewhere. Also the edge of the speaker grill is slightly damaged.

The Square Two is a 2-way, floorstanding loudspeaker and is the entry point into Wilson Benesch High-End loudspeakers. The latest incarnation of the Square Two sees important developments over its predecessor. The most notable of these is the addition of bass ports on the underside of the enclosure, carefully developed in conjunction with a higher mass driver cone to enhance bass performance and extension.

Trickle-down technologies from the Odyssey Range guarantee outstanding dynamic capabilities and like all Wilson Benesch loudspeakers, an exceptional signal to noise ratio to bring you closer to the musical event.

Like all floor standing designs, the laws of physics dictate that cabinet noise becomes more problematic when the cabinet surface area increases, in the Square Two a multitude of new technologies counter the problem.

Visco-elastically bonded critical mass damping has been added to absorb energy from the cabinet wall and dissipate it silently. In common with the original Square Series, the Assisted Bass Radiator (ABR) remains at the rear of the cabinet to absorb and control the energy generated by the powerful Tactic drive unit.

Unhindered dynamics and coherent time alignment come as standard, thanks to the absence of crossover components on the Tactic drive unit and a simple 1st-order tweeter crossover. With these measures, the Square Two achieves unrivalled transparency and accuracy, at this price point, with all the subtleties of the performance conveyed intact. Aesthetically, the Square Series II range sees the addition of high quality wood veneers, residing beneath a new, low profile grill. Laser cut from two sheets of steel and finished with turned metal links, the new grill offers the lowest diffraction of any loudspeaker grill.

Built by the same technicians as the award winning Geometry Series and employing the Tactic Drive Unit technologies akin to the Chimera, the Series II Square Two pushes the boundary further from its award winning predecessor.
