wilson wp8 v. maxx2

I fully concur Kevin. Good post!!!

Thanks Kevin.

I really was having trouble relating Dave Wilson's choice of transportation with the sound of his products. By the way, Usher runs full page color ads. Wilson's are in black and white.

I own the WP7 and have heard the WP8 and the Maxx 2. The WP8 is better sounding, but not woth the extra $10K+ in my opinion. The Maxx 2 is a great speaker. I would save up for that purchase.

I've owned the Sophias, Watt 7's/WatchDog, and now own the Maxx 2's. There are demostrable improvements in dynamic scale and dimensionality in sound with the Maxx 2's, even over the W7/WatchDog. I've heard great comments on the new W8, but I'd highly recommend going for a pair of Maxx 2's if you can find a pair. Even buying new, I'd say they're well worth the difference in cost.

I had the same idea as you have, but I went for the WP8s

I've tried Maxx 2s in my house and they did sound slighty more at ease than the WP7s with my Audio Note amps. Yet, the Maxxs were just too large looking for my listening evrioment, our living room. I felt they dominated the aethetics of thge room. IMHO, if you have the room and like the Maxxs aesthetics then go for it.

I have about 200 hours on my WP8s now and they do sound much better than than my previous WP 7s.

enjoy the music, cheers,

Gerrym5,

So what you are really saying is the Maxx 2's didn't pass the WAF? ;)

I hope to have a pair of Maxx 2's hopefully next year. What differences have you heard between the 7's and 8's? I couldn't pass up the price on the WP 7's especially right now!
