About the new Wilson Audio Watt/Puppy 8

Bartokfan - You are a riot!

I like to think that I'm not completely deaf, being a musician, (piano guitar and cello), going to symphonic and chamber music concerts regularly, but out of: Kharma, JM Lab, Dynaudio, Revel, Totem, B&W, Quad, Klipsch, Von Schweikert, Verity, god knows how many others... out of all these, the BEST STUFF (asin, made me forget about gear and hear music) that I have EVER heard, have come out of Wilson speakers.

Unless I hear something that I like better (unlikely, but possible) my next pair of speakers will be a brand new pair of Wilsons, pride of ownership and all.

Talk is big, and I'm "going for it," right?

Bartokfan:

You were probably talking about 5.1 or 6s back then---i agree they were fatiguing. The 6s drove me crazy and it didn't matter what electronics i heard them with---that tweeter was hot.

The Sophia broke that mold and has followed through with the W/P7 and Maxx2. I don't find any of the new models fatiguing. Honestly, its a very different sound and one you should hear for yourself before coming to a definitive conclusion.

i own the 6s and have never had a problem w/ a hot top end once i set them up right.

plug & play, the older versions are not. system matching is critical. but get it right, and they're quite special.

and i for one am THRILLED about dave raising prices. two reasons why: Resale Value.

good man.

Gee all this time i felt I had to hear the Theil's in south Alabama to compare with the seas. seems I have to track down Wilson's new line. Might have to go to Houston for that.

No one thought about the fact that the guy in Arizona who replaced his Alexandrias for Zu Definitions may have just been desperate for cash and needed to downgrade. It does not automatically mean that if he went to a cheaper speaker that it must be better. Sometimes people go from a Ferrari to a BMW, just another of life's sacrafices.
