Watt Puppy that much of an improvement?

Long time lurker/learner here with a question perhaps some of you guys can weigh in on. My set up is Pass X250, Pass X1 pre, ML No 37, ML 360S DAC along with B&W 802S3 on SA's. Good interconnects with Purist Venustus spkr cables. Anyway, I've been reading with interest about the watt puppies and started thinking....if I purchase used, I could probably swing a set wp6, wp7. All things being equal, will the resolution, soundstage and depth be that much better than with my B&W's? That darned upgrade bug is still fly'n around and if the more experienced here says there is......I'm going to start looking more seriously and try to find a set to audition. Thanks.....Mark

You have the order all wrong!

Go find some to listen to FIRST, if you like them and they seem to be an upgrade to your liking, THEN look into buying them.......

your system is fine. in fact its more than fine. any system shortcomings are in your head...an audiophile flu, which is often costly and the cure never lasts. if you're jonesing for automotive paint, buy a car.

I agree with Jaybo, I can't see any upgrade in what you propose unless you prefer the "look" of the WP's.

stvrvin-they are different sounding speakers, wp/b&w, so it becomes a preference. i have lived with wp 7's for many years and i really don't think much about changing them. to me, they are outstanding and excel in everything i look for in a speaker. from what i understand, they would match well with your pass stuff. highly recommend you give them a listen.
