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


GR Research gave a breakdown of these & I was surprised..

Owner looking to make them sound better.

As any speaker designer knows, a really flat speaker sounds terrible.

A flat FR does not by itself define the sound quality of a speaker.  Personal experience with multi $K speakers universally reviewed as great sounding with flat FR.  They were very accurate but made music sound lifeless.  Crossover had almost 2 dozen cheap parts.  Rebuilding the crossover with quality parts maintained a flat FR, but brought music alive with clarity, detail, and dynamics.

That is correct, I did NOT send the speakers in. I emailed the original schematic to them, along with measurements where the finished crossovers could be installed. We agreed on my component choices.

GR-Research built the crossover on HDF, and I mounted and wired it to the rest of the speaker. It's not terribly difficult as the Kappa 7s are 3 way speakers.

Ok I wanted to clarify that before this question: @vthokie83 

Everyone is focusing on the frequency response, Danny suggests it should be flat, and many responders suggesting it is not that important, yet in this case it is not measured before or after. 

Did this conversation come up regarding frequency response, and changing parameters to adjust for different slopes and adjusting the frequency response, assuming GR has past knowledge of these speakers, or were the same values used?
