ARE WILSON AUDIO WATT PUPPY 8 FOR 6 GRAND A GOOD DEAL?

I listened to treo CT and quatro Vandersteen and I was not impressed. poor dynamics. Too laid back. Lack of excitement.  boomy bass. I have owned Vandersteen 2ci, 3a and 4a back in the 90's so I like Vandersteens but I only like the model 7 and the Quinto. They are out of my price range. Model 5a is good but they are too old. 5a carbon too much money. 

Is Wilson Audio just a big name speaker with a big price? or are they really that good?

Of course they are, but you have to make your mind up on something. 

I did 35 years ago.. Only changes I've made are number of drivers I use. 3 years ago I went from PRs tuning my subs to full blown DSP from 80-300 hz and OB servo 80hz and <. More parts but easy to tune.. Everything else is just monitors.. I like small planars and ribbons.. Nothing beats them for speed, I've yet to blow a Neo 3, 8, or 10" planar.. Close to 80 here. 40 or so ribbons..

Look at GRs stuff.. That is really cool.. Better than Wilson..AND a lot less money.. Still the room ay? Room treatment.. really the key to it all..

Respect

 

appreciate all the input.

Magico is for wimps.  I need a speaker that can rock. Wilsons rock.
