Square Two
Two
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 it's 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.
Viscoelastically 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.
