Watt Puppy 6

At a quarter of the price,they are about right price-wise. I will let you figure out how much brand new ones should cost. Amazing that too many manufacturers don't provide upgrades but would rather churn out new models. When was the model 6 replaced by the model 7 and how long was the model 7 on the market when a need for a model 8 was felt? While I agree with being able to resell them if they don't fit the bill, remember that large speakers are hard to ship and that, unless you go for local sales, you would have to ship them twice doubling t risk of damage or loss in transit.

Pbb makes a good point -- these suckers are heavy, well over 100 pounds, and each one of them comes in two wooden crates. Shipping is nontrivial.

So far as regular obsolescence, I guess that a new model comes out probably every two or three years, just like some car models. What's more notable is that each new model seems to be better than the preceding one. At the W/P price point, Wilson needs to keep the product as good and fresh as they can, and new drivers or cabinet materials or crossover designs should be incorporated regularly in updated versions. One might infer that the pace of technology might somehow be reflected in the amount of time between new versions, as well as an opportunity to raise prices and sell more speakers. As a buyer, I understood that this would happen -- it's part of the package -- Wilson wasn't going to stop making W/Ps at the 6s just because I bought a pair. Business as usual.
