Does anyone have in their system, or have tried, Wilson Benesch, Discovery 3Zero Standmount Speakers?
Not demoed them yet, but intend to in the near future.
I’m reliably told that they will be a vast improvement on my Kudos Titan 606’s 
However, I understand they are not as ‘forgiving’ as the 606’s, when it comes to room placement?
If I recall correctly, you’re very happy with these loudspeakers, so why the urge to change?
I haven’t heard these loudspeakers, but Wilson Benesch have a good reputation…
I understand the ‘upgrade itch’, but sometimes it’s best to maintain status quo, and stick with what you’re happy with…

We are all guilty of trying to make our system sound better. Which is why some upgrade from a Bartók to a Rossini, a Rossini to a Vivaldi, and if you’re minted…to a Varèse! 
I am however, hopefully going to move house within the next 3 months (If we’re lucky). The front room is quite a bit smaller. I don’t know for sure until I’ve demoed them, but the 606’s bass may be a tad boomy for the size of room.
Good luck…
I see…
Please let us know how the demo goes…

Certainly will, but it won’t be for a few months.
The WBs have a low frequency response that is not too dissimilar to the Kudos ( 38Hz v. 30Hz as quoted but we do not know how they were measured.) My guess is that in a real room listening to real music the lower cut off point will not be the arbiter of boom. Room placement will be important. Although the WBs are stand mount,with the stands they actually occupy a similar footprint to the Kudos. Both are isobaric designs.
The WBs are more sensitive than the Kudos which may be significant.
Frankly you cannot judge if they are suitable for you until, not only do you hear them, but hear them in your own ( new) room and given a few days to choose best placement and to become acclimatised. Ditto for the Kudos.
So my advice is to ensure that your dealer supplies them with a return period if not satisfied. If he won’t, walk away.
Wilson Benesch are a very good make so the Discovery Zeros are an interesting option. A friend had ( or still has, but he is abroad currently) an earlier version. He has excellent taste which I trust.

Yes they are Pete. In fact the base plate on the WB Zero3 is around 15”, so it’s larger than the 606’s.
I doubt any dealer would order in a pair of speakers, sell them to you, and if after a couple of weeks you don’t like them, return them for a full refund. That isn’t going to happen as they’d have to re-sell them as ‘used’.
I will of course, try and demo a pair….Demoing speakers at home is a logistical nightmare, especially if you live 150 away from the dealer.
Hi
I owned the ARC then the Vector and now the evolution 1 ACT , these are great speakers I love the speed , resolution and the neutrality of the speakers . The mid requires a strong amp , I’m using Audionet Max monos and they fit perfectly.
The stand mount tends to disappear better in my room, but the floor stands play with more easiness .
Which Vitus amp are you useing?

Hi @eylo
I have the Vitus SIA-025. Integrated Amp.
How do you mean?
Thanks
Stand mount speakers needs to “work “ harder to fill the room , larger speakers has a bigger cabinet which helps to drive the room. It feels like the drivers are working more easily.
My only concern is the Vitus ability to drive the speakers, I know that it can deliver good current, but it may be limited in higher volume. You need to test it.
If there is a match , you will enjoy it - I guarantee it

I did not choose the Discovery but bought and used A.C.T.One Evolution P1 for 2 years along with ATC 100PSTL. Such a different sound, which is why I used 2 pairs in the same space. Traditional dense highs, mids, and lows were clearly separated (in a good way) from the ATC, versus all mixed like a coaxial unit with tremendous bass wrapping the whole music from Wilson Benesch. Eventually, it is a matter of taste.
