The $27,900 disappointment? Wilson Audio Watt Puppy 8 issues.

Are they not a 20 year old speaker at this piont, i'd imagine Wilson has improved much since then. 

About the craziest thread I've ever heard

@hiend2 ,

You want crazy, like room with the rubber wallpaper crazy, go over to the 'Best audio prank ideas' thread.

@simonmoon ,

+100  Nailed it!  

Age of the Wilson speakers is irrelevant.  Good speaker design was not discovered last week.

I find it interesting that people love to hatchet others that they don't know on the 'net.

I've known Danny for many, many years.  He and I don't agree on everything and that is OK.  He is extremely well respected in the industry, customers and reviewers because his designs bring the goods.  Trashing a person and gear that you don't know is the best way to get the rep of being a troll here.  His speaker upgrade service is ~ 5% of his business and he does not charge for the design work.  He makes his $$$ on parts used to build his design.

There are reasons that "The GR Research" rooms at audio shows were consistently judged among the best in SQ at those exhibitions.  I was at that RMAF he referenced in his video concerning the Wilson Audio room.  The Wilson Alexandria X2 ($158,00.00) driven by VTL Siegfried monoblocks ($65,000.00) were a huge disappointment.  Too loud, too harsh in a room with zero treatment.

Perhaps you should familiarize yourself with results:

Send the speakers in?  For what possible reason?

Nobody listens to them anyway.

Wilson is the world's leading high end speaker company.  In the final analysis their designs are tuned by critical listeners with extensive live music experience.  Dave Wilson in this case. The Watt/Puppy, recently reintroduced, remains the largest selling high end speaker of all time.

People don't spend that kind of money on badly designed speakers.
