Wilson Watt Puppy 7

Hi sssixxx

If you are looking for a great value added investment check out Rouge Audio. At their testing/listening room they had the Apollo Mono Blocks  hooked up to Puppies before they invested into Sashas. I heard them when they were hooked up to the Sashas and it was incredible. 

True soundstage - Detailed classical guitar, natural female vocals and  clean bass. Textured imagery. The Apollos would definitely put the Puppies to work.

Great company,  solid builds that respond extremely well to tube rolling and power chord upgrades should you ever desire. They released a new line of pre-amps as well. 

I have owned a Pair of M180 for the last decade. I do want to get a pair of Apollo Darks, but as I have rolled tubes and added substantial Power Chord / Cable investments their performance has exceeded my expectations every time. 

You may want to try KT-120 tubes in place of the KT-90 if you decide to purchase them.

Best of Luck!

The WP7s were the best WP (until the Sashas came along). Much better than WP6 and a bit better than WP8 IMHO. I owned the 7s before the Sashas and Alexia2s which I own now.

There is a  pair of McIntosh MC501 mono-blocks here for sale for around 5-6 grand.  I believe they put out 90 amps of current each and do 500wpc.
