Looking for some Watt/Puppy 5 Advice

Thanks for the responses fellas. I’m going to disassemble tomorrow and check for physical problems / looseness / failing surrounds whatever. An email to Wilson is likely in my future :)

And thanks for the insight on your findings with the bigger AR Ref series amps. I’ll be honest, I’m a pro audio guy and having spent a couple decades with my head between studio monitors, I’m having a hard time keeping gum in my mouth with this setup....it’s a more resolving and just so much more musical a playback rig than anything I’ve heard as is. I’m sure the tree continues upward from here but I’ve climbed quite a height at the moment and still trying to catch my breath. Which is, of course, absolutely outstanding. 

You have great speakers and Wilson offers great support even on the older models. Find and fix the issue and you will be rewarded with many years of musical enjoyment. Keep us posted of what you find out.

Have you tried swapping your speaker cables right/left to see if it changes speakers?

It might be a tube in the amp.

Thanks jperry, yeah I’ve done some quick troubleshooting to determine it’s the tweeter.

I have 3/2’s and had a tweeter go bad. You have to go to a Wilson dealer to get them ordered along with revised resisters. I had the dealer install the tweeter and resisters. Not a cheap repair but well worth the investment in my mind.
