Upgrade path from Wilson WattPuppy 7s? - seeking advice


I have a McIntosh system with a 275 tube amp, plus some PS Audio equipment. I play many different kinds of music - from Joe Bonamassa to Johannes Brahms.

I like the analytical quality of the WP 7's. They do seem to lack some midrange and do reproduce rock as well as some other speakers. So I previewed the following at Paragon Sound in Ann Arbor, and the price is a consideration. Here are my thoughts but am seeking advice:

(1) B&W 802 D3 - Better with rock, a bit mellow and not as analytical as the WP 7's. Better midrange than my current speakers.
(2) Wilson Alexia 1 - A bit pricey even with a hefty discount. Of interest, I found some of the higher resolution music files to be reproduced with too much complexity. The ability to discriminate transients, a feature of the WP speakers, seem to be diminished in the more elaborate sound provided by these speakers.

Any other suggestions? I do not want to spend a great deal of money, but have the ability if necessary.

Thanks in advance for any advice - Gerry

As usual Gprgrblu, you have to have the last word. Do you have any practical advice other than what I have given to this gentleman?

Do you have anything to add please advise us? 

Do you know that I am approached by people reading these posts who contact me and find much of what I am saying to be valuable. 

I wouldn't have to "sell, sell and oversell if you would just shut your trap.

Again, how many times do I have to retort to your stupidity, you make ridiculous statements that have to be backed up again, so it appears to you that I am doing this "selling" which is my way of replying to you to validate my claims and prove you don't know what you are talking about.

What you seem to think of as selling as us stating ancedotal evidence to back up the claims you refute. You also equate price with performance.

When I said we had the $120k Kharma Grand Exquistes here would you like to see a picture of them in their crates? I am more than happy to oblige. 
I did love the Kharma DB9 by the way, but they did not sound as good as the Polymers, the Personas are the first $35k speakers which can actually challange the Polymers which are remarkable speakers by the way.

Do you think I would shell out $60 or 70k to bring in a set of speakers which as I said were good but not better than a $70k pair of Polymers that I allready own? Do you actually understand that retailers have to purchase their display stock and so I am going to be very picky at what I am going to pay for.

You can see the $70k Polymers in my store video as well as the Blades I have posted videos did you actually see how much gear and the quality of brands we represent? That is one of the ways that I know what I am talking about. 

Do you want to see a picture of us comparing the T+A to the Boulder ata cutomers house? Again I got that too. Did you read my comments on that comparison? Would you like to talk to the man who was there?

I don't know how old you are I am 52 and quite frankly I haven't witnessed too many people in this or any other business who are as blatently vindictive and nasty as you are.

You make statement after statement which you can't back up, I can back up mine. Every product I have ever championed has become at the time the go to product in that catagory or one held in high regard from the critics.  From the AMR CD 77, to the Auralic Vega, to the CJ Art and Gat. to the Scaena speakers, the Ushers and many others. 

I call em as I see em, and as I stated before there are products I don't sell that I like, at this point there isn't too much on the market that I would actually care to bring in that I don't allready carry.

If you don't have anything pertinent to add to this man's quest for new speakers or do you want to go on another diatribe about me and "selling" please just go away.

Troy---I hope I helped the OP by drawing his attention to your comments in context. 
Gpgr4blu, you just couldn’t help your self now could you.

How about WHAT CAN YOU ADD to the DISCUSSON at hand, which is not about me, my store, or my knoweledge, whether or not you like my
"salesmanship, " but about upgrading from Wilson Watt Puppy 7.

And for the record I was a WIlson owner, with both Watt Puppy 3/2 and 5.not to mention I have current customers with WP 7 and Maxx 3.

So again, please either add something about SPEAKERS or just go sulk in a corner.
