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

If you like the sounds of the Wilson's, that is the prime value. The Wilson's I have heard sounded not very good to me, when listening in a demo or showroom. But in the home where they are set up somewhat decently, they are a hard to beat speaker. Excellent sound. And that is where it really matters, in your listening space.

fyi, Here is cool pic.  I have the new James Gang SACD cranked on the song "Bomber" as high as my ears can stand it.  You can see the meter on the C2300.  BTW, that remastered SACD sounds like it was recorded yesterday.  it is outstanding, and the bass is fantastic.   There is not a ripple or even the slightest movement in that glass of water.  W/P 8 with GAIA I footer on a hardwood floor on top of a cement foundation.  I feel lots of punch with those 2 Mc275s. 

@hjdca  Wilson claims the Watt and Puppy should be measured together.  How is that going to change the response from 200 Hz up?  Strange claim.

If you have the right power amp for the Wilson’s they will perform. Last year Axpona Quintessense audio were using Dan Agostino gear. First time I realize how good the Wilson’s . 

I do believe two Mc275s in mono are enough to drive the W/P 8s. However, I do waffle between the 8 ohm tap and 4 ohm tap. These taps are halved when in mono mode, so, in mono mode they are supposed to be 4 ohm and 2 ohm. The 4 ohm tap produces more current and less voltage than the 8 ohm tap, and I believe you can hear and feel that in the bass. For excellent high res (SACD) recordings with good bass, the 8 ohm tap is hard to beat. For older, thin sounding CDs like Punk Rock, he 4 ohm tap sounds better fills the room much better and fixes thin sounding CDs. Also, on the 4 ohm tap, my furniture and bar vibrate more from the bass.
