The $27,900 disappointment? Wilson Audio Watt Puppy 8 issues.

Haven't watched yet, but I really like this guy. I watched his how-to video on soldering before I re-did the crossovers in my Maggies. He is an asset to the audiophile community. 

Think about this though, on top of your day job, and moderating your own sub-forum, you start a You Tube channel. You want plenty of hits, and you have initial intentions to provide great communication to watchers, and respond to every comment. And then you get successful, and it provides you with some income, wonderful! And then you get really successful- After 1 day he already has 575 comments! How would any sane person find the time to read and respond to them all. 

Ohhhh, I bet Wilson isn't happy.

I'm glad to see Danny changed his hair style. He used to look like my aunt. Beard and all...

He is very fit for a guy his age (runner/athlete, trains like spring chicken, etc). Audiophiles in his age group should atleast pick that up and get healthier even if they don’t care for his diy kits.

I just want to point out that Wilson was making very different speakers in a different market then than now.

Not that I’m a fanboy or could even really justify their prices, but when we look back at vintage speakers we are looking back at different times and tastes.

Vintage Infinity, Focal and B&W all can easily be criticized by a DIYer/modder. Troels Gravesen has also done a few rebuilds (Yamaha, Snell) but sticks more to the facts.

While it's easy to critique these vintage pieces now, it's also good to remember that they were actually what was considered successful. 

I’m not saying don’t mod, but be gentle on the reputations of the original designers.

I must agree with one poster on that vid. Those speakers remind me of a 50 year old trash can or maybe modern day DaleK.  Prefer the more classic designs , think Dynaudio Contour series ...

I've heard the Watt Puppy 8s on several occasions and thought they sounded wonderful each time I heard them. May not have been my first choice in speakers, but they still sounded very pleasing to my ears.  Me personally, I've always relied more on my ears than reviews from whoever.  Happy listening.
