OVERVIEW:

The mathematical nomenclature afforded the Vertex and it 
floorstanding sibling the Vector pay homage to the fundamental 
importance of organic, geometrically optimised forms that have
been exploited in pursuit of ultimate performance within the 
company’s reference loudspeaker line, the Geometry Series.
Wilson Benesch invested heavily in new manufacturing 
technology and the latest 3D CAD/CAM software and tooling to 
realise a highly optimised product line which surpasses in every 
respect, the previous reference line, the Odyssey Range. The 
Geometry Series celebrates the importance of music and its 
importance within our life.
 
A compact 2-way design, the Vertex features the revolutionary 
Semisphere Silk-Carbon Hybrid Dome Tweeter and a single Tactic II drive unit. The drive units are secured in an aluminium baffle, 
precision machined in house from a solid billet. To the rear of the 
cabinet, the A.C.T. Carbon Monocoque leaves no question, this is a high-performance Geometry Series thoroughbred.
 
As the entry point into the company’s reference line, the Vertex is a compact high-technology stand mount loudspeaker that 
represents incredible value for money. Thanks to the common 
drive technologies shared across the Geometry Series, the Vertex shares a family sound with the companies reference loudspeaker, the Cardinal. But up with a choice of luxurious wood veneers and 
high-gloss polymer finishes, the Vertex is a powerful statement of high-end audio luxury.

REVIEWS:

"Some loudspeakers try to be musical instruments, this tries to be a reproducer of music in it’s entirety. Highlighting specific 
examples of this is to try and pigeon-hole a loudspeaker that 
defies classification. Play Blues and it sounds like the Blues. Play 
an orchestral piece and it sounds orchestral… It does what 
speakers are supposed to do, and so few really achieve; it plays 
what it is given."
