Coolest color for Wilson Watt/Puppy 7 ?

BLACK

We should have the speakers visually as well as acoustically disappear. If we are looking at the speaker, we will feel that the sound is coming from them; instead of from the performers.

Agree with Jazzdude. High contrast is great for the eye, but bad for the soundstage unless you always listen with your eyes closed. Order the color that will blend best into your decor. Get the matching grilles too if you don't get a color that is close to black. Avoid white speakers with exposed black drivers or black grilles for example. I know this is hard because we all want our pride and joy to stand out and be noticed. Of course you could always change your decor to match your speakers. Painting your wall fly yellow or Ferrari red might be a bit much though.

Jazzdude had a nice tip for putting something visually interesting between your speakers to draw your eye away from them. I have a fireplace, so I had not put much thought into that before.

Good Luck,

Thanks all! Came to the same conclusion that anything strong visually is a significant distraction from the listening experience. Picked the see through finish. I love the look of crossovers in the morning. Sounds like victory!

Once you go black you may never go... But seriously colors are fun but can they stand the test to time and RESALE. I have wilson speakers and do look from time to time at the prices, and it seems the black models seem to sell quicker. On the other hand I would not mind trading my puppies for those really amazing yellow ones at least for a time.

Thanks to all you Martha Stewarts out there. Went with Titanium after way too much deliberation! Very cool color and much less reflective than black for home theater without being visually obtrusive! Seems to reflect a lot less color and less light than just about anything else, especially the black and gives the sense of "skin", texture and depth.
