Choice for wilson Watt/puppy 5.1 internal wiring

I bought Wilson watt puppies 5.1 for a good used price.
Unit looks pretty good. And sounds excellent. Slightly on brighter side in the sound quality to my ears.
Thinking to change internal wiring which might make it softer. I have no clue what to use and also wondering if it really helps. Would appreciate your input. Thanks.

The curse of a mod forthis type of speaker is too high for the slight change in sound from an internal wire change. Perhaps a 5% change. Try a tube amp or preamp known to tame the hot top end. Mods will kill resale value unless factory done. Jallen

Before you go changing things internally.Try moving them around and look at room acoustics. They might not be as bright as they seem once that's taking care of...best of luck.

All you're doing is hearing the Wilson speaker.

Wilson speakers ARE bright. It's a dirty little secret no one likes to talk about.

Zd is completely and 100% right. If you want to get rid of the problem, get rid of the problem -- and that'd be the speakers.

M_snow,

Older Wilson speakers are bright...to my ears the current line-up isn't bright.

M_snow - you should have said: older Wilson models were bright. And yes, 5.1 is one of them. Which doesn't mean, they cannot be made to sound good. Very careful system matching is necessery though.
