Wilson Audio Watt/Puppy System 8

Siliab, Thanks So

I agree you, every body has own aesthetic sense.
In my idea taste is so important.
many of my friends love mark levinson warmness but i prefer krell cast and many like listening to wilson with Lamm but i like to listen wilson with krell evo one and two.

about W7 i need a good space and A/B test condition to write my view but i think dynamic driver speakers sound more lush when they work more.
I guess sound signature of Dynamic driver loudspeakers change across time and they reduce sense of solidity and fastness but increase sense of liquidity and lushness.
I'm not sure but may be in your A/B test W8 needed more time for full break-in.
Enjoy

Amir,

You may be correct about the relative amount of play-time on the drivers being a factor in this comparison, although the pair of WP8s I listened to had many hundreds of hours on them. Interestingly, it didn't seem to me that any difference in liquidity or lushness were the factors that led me to favor the WP7s. In fact, I'd say that the WP8s were more liquid and no less lush than the WP7s.

Although my powers of description are probably not up to the task, I would like to say that the thing I was reacting to was more of the sense of being within the acoustic bubble with the singers and musicians with the WP7s. The picture drawn by the WP8s was more detailed but slightly more remote, as if the acoustic bubble extended right up to where I listened but stopped there. This was a sensation that I've also had with various Kharma speakers, which are fantastically detailed and lush, but just don't captivate me. I didn't perceive this as a deficiency in imaging or soundstaging, which were absolutely first rate through the WP8s. Perhaps it was some artifact of the dynamic envelope of the WP7s that I was reacting to, where the music seemed to project further into the room. Or, as you've suggested, it may just have been a lack of time on the drivers of the WP8s.

Anyhow, I fully understand your enthusiasm for the WP8s. They are marvelous speakers.

Enjoy,

I agree maybe your view be right and my guess be wrong but in my experience the satisfaction factor is vastly dependent to system ability in micro scale.

I think transparency and presence of the sound are parameters that will improve across time. both are system ability in micro scale. even internal wiring of loudspeakers affect on these parameters and in my experience cables need over 300 hours for full break-in.

I had an eye opening experience this week end with replacing my 6M Nordost Valhalla with a 6M Stealth Indra. Everything was more open, transparent, natural and made my W/P 8's sound incredibly more beautiful and more musical. I was shocked and can't explain it. I'll give more details later on with LP comparisons.

Dynamic Driver Loudspeakers need good and transparent upstream in comparison with more transparent electrostatic loudspeakers.
I think WP8 is little less transparent and immediate than quad 2905 and in upstream we should choose immediate and transparent electronics.
choose smaller than 1m interconnect and smaller than 2m speaker cable. shorter Cable increase immediately , presence and deeper soundstage.
