Wilson Audio Watt/Puppy System 8

Great Review and thanks for taking your time to share it with us. Makes the hobby even more fun. I really love my W/P 8's also, but be ready for all kinds of replies. Even some that hate the Wilson sound.

Amir, normally WP8s are set up to have a small sweetspot. Did you tell the dealer during the Wilson setup to widen the sweetspot? I have talked to a dealer in Dallas who stated WP8s have some of the biggest sweetspots for a two channel speaker.

Wgerman, I tried to place it and it had good sweet spot but the room had not enough space to fill the room with breathing strings.
Wilson has very very good sweet spot in both vertical and horizontal

Gerrym5, every body have a taste and i think the only important thing is our taste not other opinion about components. enjoy

I find the world of the WP8 interesting....it was the speaker that I stronger considered going to after the Sophia2s...but I just couldn't get comfortable with the musicality of the 8s...I actually preferred the continuity/wholeness of cloth that the Sophia 2 offered...but ultimately went in another direction...I am not a Wilson hater...love lots of things they do...but the more I focused on the music....rather than the reproduction of sound...led me away from Wilson...if I was to return...it would either be the Sophia 2...or Maxx2...not the WP8

John, I think W8 is better than MAXX and Sophia in some respect that finaly i prefer It to MAXX and Sophia 2.
Tell me about your listening condition when you listened to W8?
W8 need over 400 hours for break-in and is so sensitive to setup. it need careful matching to room and other parameters.

Good Stuffs need more care for giving it's all potential.
