Does the WATT/Puppy 8 image as well as the 7?


One of the strenghts of the Wilson WATT/Puppy system in its various versions always has been its ability to image with great specifity and precision. With the absence of lead ingots in the most recent version of the WATT/Puppy, the 8, and, correspondingly, less mass, I was wondering whether the company has compromised this wonderful characteristc, despite the change to better materials. Does anyone have experience with both versions that can speak to this concern? Before I buy this expensive rendition, I would welcome opinions. Thanks.

The new Sasha is better and less expensive, so the 8 and 7 are worthless unless stolen for $15k or less. I owned the system 6 and believe that Wilson has not greatly improved upon that speaker until the new Sasha. Best bang for the buck would be to get a used pair of 6's and feed them properly. Most people in most systems could not tell them apart anyway. The 6's were warmer and had more bloom, which I liked....the savings would be huge and the thrill higher:O)
Hi, I am not sure I agree that their isn't improvement in the 7's and 8's vs the 6's. I owned 6's and 8's. I will say they are each super speakers on their own, but all a lil different. Which is best is really up to you. I liked the 8's better, more coherence, higher resolution, more balance.

The 6's used are steal right now. I have not heard the new Sasha's, but I have Maxx 3's currently and it's a major change for the better. I suspect the Sasha's are a similar. Wilson has really added the "beauty" back along with their stellar dynamics, sound staging and resolution.

You really can't go wrong with 6's, 7's, 8's or Sasha's. It's your wallet that's the limiting factor here. Also Maxx 2's used might be a thought. Although buying new from a dealer with great setup is invaluable...good luck
The 8 images as well as the 7, and in my opinion is the better speaker. Less bright, more resolving in the mid range and highs The 6 is not as refined as the 7 or 8.

The Sasha is quite amazing. A small Maxx3.
I have to agree with Jfrech in reguards to the W/P evolution..I would buy a pair of Sophias before venturing into the W/P 6..The W/P 8 is far from "worthless". IMO an outstanding speaker and stands head and shoulders over the 7 model..The new Sasha is super duper!!!
