Found Monster cables inside my Watt Puppy 5.1's

Like you I thought Wilson only used Transparent cables. But a more important question is how do they sound? If you like the sound of your 5.1 then it really doesn't matter what cable they use. Hopefully you don't fell worst about the speakers because they have a Monster Cable in them.

Actually, I ended up buying a pair of Watt Puppy 6's. The lack of bass was just too much for me to live without. Especially since I blew the woofers, I decided it was better to upgrade. However, now I'm running into some trouble with the repair. I took out the old woofers, soldered the replacements and screwed them back in. But the sound from those speakers is all wrong. There is absolutley no bass at all now?

On top of that, I can't get the speakers off now. With the blown pair, I just reached in and grabbed through the holes in the soft section that separated from the speaker. But now i have no way to grab them, and even turning the speaker on its face, I can't get it to separate. Any suggestions on how to get it off so I can take a look at what happened?

I know, I know, I should have had a professional do this, but I bought these on consignment, and the shop where I bought them went under. I figured replacing woofers would be no big deal. I must have guessed wrong. :>

Remember you have to break the new drivers in before they will have much bass. You did use the correct replacements didn't you?

The risk return ratio in out of wack here. I would not try to save a few hundrend bucks on a $ 10,000.00 used piece of gear. You would be better off sending the speakers to wilson to get the woofers fixed and see that no other 'tweeks" were done to these. I would think its extremely rare to blow the woofers in these. I listed to the 6.0's with 350 watt Krell Monos full blast and they ROCK ! PS the $ 100,000.00 system had Monster cable 2.4 speaker cables!

Some amps, after clipping, send a huge surge of current to the drivers, which could damage them. If there is no bass with the new drivers, even without break-in, the crossover could also be damaged. To be safe, ascertain that the volume is down before powering up your system, especially if you have kids in the house.

Also, onsidering the cost of the speakers, I agree with the above post about letting Wilson repair them. Maybe while they're at it they can upgrade the wiring.
