Upgrade path from Wilson WattPuppy 7s? - seeking advice

I just don't get why it's necessary to make personal attacks. I've received a personal attack recently and I just reminded the person that he didn't know anything about me. Is it really necessary to attack someone, because they have a different opinion about something as "subjective" as audio preferences? I submit most of us have enough sense to recognize that dealer's "may" be biased and "may" have financial gains at stake; therefore we should take their comments with a grain of salt. That being said, all of us are biased and all of our comments should be taken with a grain of salt! 

Off the track as I expected.  First off Dave, I have fallen in love with Vandersteen's for my purposes.  I have been that way about all the gear I buy, just like most of us.  I happen to know many in the industry as I've been into it since the late 60's.  I'll always post kind things about dealers around the country I've met if they are good.   

I won't get involved in your 'mine is bigger than yours' argument with Gpg.  He's just a poster and not pushing products he sells to make a living, so I'll just leave it at that.

You did make one comment in an earlier post that really rubbed me the wrong way. Maybe it's because of who I am, but I was in sales for years after my Navy retirement.  I only stopped due to my MS about 11 years ago.  I NEVER can remember a time that I EVER laughed about a customer or potential customer after I left them.  Ever.  Many of them I would shake my head and try to see their side. I'd wonder why they felt the way they did.  I can be very snarky, but I also like to think I respect folks too.  I have spoken to Matt and even said that maybe I'd go to your shop with him someday when I can get down there, but honestly, that comment made me realize that the second I left, you'd probably laugh at me and make fun of me.  I'm sure it's just me, but you lost any credibility you may have had with me.  Not that it matters to you of course.

I agree with Ct about laughing at a customer after they left. Dave. Are you that arrogant to do something so childish? I've seen young bitchy little teenage girls do stuff like that, but from a grown man working with customers? Get real. You also talk about what great values $35k speakers are. I don't recall you talking about more real world systems that cost far less than $35k for a whole setup. That is where I think a majority of potential customers are. I'm not in the business like you but as a "hobbyist" for almost 50 years I've listened to many systems of all price ranges and know good sound when I hear it...
