Sheffield, UK & New Jersey, USA – March 5, 2025 – Wilson Benesch, the world-renowned British innovator in high-performance audio systems, is delighted to announce its official partnership with U.S. high-end audio importer Fidelity Imports. This strategic alliance marks a significant expansion for Wilson Benesch in the North American market, bringing its groundbreaking audio technologies to discerning U.S. audiophiles through Fidelity Imports' distinguished distribution network.
The partnership will be unveiled to the public for the first time at AXPONA 2025, North America’s largest high-end audio showcase. The Fidelity Imports team will curate a world-class demonstration system featuring the Wilson Benesch Omnium Loudspeaker and the IGx Infrasonic Generator, delivering an unparalleled sonic experience. In addition, Fidelity Imports will collaborate with Wilson Benesch to present the GMT® One System Turntable to the U.S. market for the very first time. The GMT® One System Turntable has recently received critical acclaim, having been awarded ‘Turntable of the Year’ by The Absolute Sound. Michael Fremer, a renowned authority in the audiophile community, stated, “I must conclude that the system, the combination of the Tessellate cartridge and the turntable produced the best sound I’ve heard from vinyl records of every musical genre.”
“Wilson Benesch has long been synonymous with innovation, precision engineering, and the pursuit of absolute audio fidelity,” said Craig Milnes, Co-Founder and Design Director of Wilson Benesch. “With Fidelity Imports’ expertise and deep passion for high-end audio, we are confident that this partnership will provide U.S. listeners with an extraordinary opportunity to experience our cutting-edge designs as they were intended, in some of the finest dealers across the USA.”
Fidelity Imports, is a relative new comer to the market, but has already curated a portfolio of highly respected audio brands and established itself as a leading importer in the North American market. Steve Jain, Managing Director and Co-Founder of Fidelity Imports, commented, “We have built a curated portfolio of the world’s finest audio products, Wilson Benesch’s British made products are designed and manufactured by hand in Sheffield, England with advanced engineering, state-of-the-art material composition and a family owned passion for creating instruments that bring music to life. We are honoured to be the exclusive US importer of Wilson Benesch.”
Wilson Benesch’s commitment to materials science, advanced engineering, and uncompromising sound reproduction has positioned the brand as a leader in high-end audio.
The Fibonacci Series reference loudspeaker line stands as the pinnacle of the company’s decades-long pursuit of sonic perfection. This heritage traces back to 1994, when Wilson Benesch revolutionised the high-end audio market with the launch of the A.C.T. One—the world’s first carbon fibre composite enclosure for loudspeakers.
Wilson Benesch’s legacy in analogue audio is equally distinguished. Founded on the creation of a groundbreaking turntable and the world’s first parabolic single-piece carbon fibre tonearm, the company now returns to the analogue domain after nearly a decade-long hiatus with the GMT® One System Turntable—a breakthrough that is widely regarded as a revolution in vinyl playback. By leveraging next-generation engineering and manufacturing techniques, Wilson Benesch has redefined analogue performance once again.
Every element of the GMT® One System—from the revolutionary OMEGA Direct Drive System to the GRAVITON Armwand, TESSELLATE Ti Cartridge, remote-controlled Piezo VTA system, and the bespoke R1 Rack—has been meticulously designed, developed, and manufactured entirely in the Wilson Benesch factory. This holistic approach to engineering ensures an unprecedented level of synergy and performance in analogue playback.
AXPONA 2025 attendees will have the exclusive opportunity to witness and experience Wilson Benesch’s extraordinary craftsmanship firsthand, setting the stage for a new era of high-fidelity listening experiences in the U.S. market.
