Watt Puppy that much of an improvement?

I've had both and the Wilsons will connect you to the music on a far deeper level. The WP 6's or 7's will convey the emotion, contrast and dynamic swing of music in such a dramatic way that you will wonder what took you so long to sell the B&W's. B&W's, by their design are over damped, power hungry and forward sounding. Find a pair to try if possible to be sure, but I say go for the Wilsons and don't look backLO) FYI, I switched to Sophias due to their coherence and sweeter tone.

Your system is wonderful. based on my personal experience with B&W the Wilsons will be more dynamic and I think your system will definitely be more musical and exciting. The higher sensitivity of the Wilsons are to your benefit as well. What kind of music do you listen too?

Jaybo: Are you familiar with any of Stvrvin's gear or is this another diatribe against upgrading?

russell...i'm familiar and its a diatribe. also, the 802-3 is a classic in every sense.

Hey guys. Just wanted to express appreciation to you for all insights. All views have merit for sure. You know, I guess the reason lots of folks are in this, and I include myself, is that it's such a rewarding hobby. If one has an appreciation for well recorded music (think recordings to die for thread),to sit back with a glass of wine (or more) and listen and then to think you've have a small part in what your hearing (your $$$, equipment and what you've learned here and other places).....geez, talk about feeling great and getting true enjoyment and relaxation. Anyway, I guess the reason I'm looking for suggestions/information/experience is that for sure I like the B&W's, have had them for near 10 years now, but with all things considered in my situation (cash flow, kids, and other priorties),is now the time to move on to something different like the well respected Wilson's(and deal with the wifey factor to boot). I know only I can answer that question....but prior to proceeding in most any major purchase, I always try to gather as much information as I can. Hence, the reason for my question.

Thanks for asking Psacanli, I'm an older rock n' roller that also likes various other music. Probably my favorite artists are Dire Straights, Donal Fagan/Steely Dan, Cowboy Junkies, Ricky Lee Jackson and various others. No classics or CW...but just about everything else.

Sorry for the ramble. As I mentioned, any information and experiences is greatly appreciated. Thanks......Mark
