wilson watt puppy 7 question:

Mike,

Thanks for your input. Back when I first got the puppy's I had one spacer not two in and it was too boomy. However since then I have put absorption panels on the ceiling as well as wall behind speakers in addition to thick floor rugs. So now I began to wonder if I should try going back to one spacer. I think it will still be too boomy but just was curious as to whether most people end up happier with none, one, or two. You are very right its room and equipment sensitive.

p.s. I am too chicken to change the spacers on the puppy's with the wife and was hoping people would say don't bother. The store installed the speakers and adjusted the spacers originally

Karmapolice: The top head unit has a spike in the back that your Wilson kit comes with 3 different sized to aim the Watt Down or Up based on the distance (there is a guide under the watt that has the distance grid used to select spike height based on listening position.

The manual outlines this, do you have the manual?

I by far had the best results with WP7 with removing the puppy paws entirely (heresy I know) and placing them directly on svelte shelves. Not only could I move them around more frequently to dial them in to what I felt was getting the most out of them, but this seemed to provide a flatter response in my room and the imaging improved rather dramatically. I understand that using supers is even better but they were a little to tall for my comfort level. You also must adjust the rear watt spike if you go to this setup for phase integrity since the whole getup is a lot lower.

Cytocycle,

I do have the manual and was wondering is that someone who is never done before can do easily (remove the watt from the puppy)?

cytocyle,

I looked at the manual and noticed that for my listening position of 10 feet away at ear height of 38 inches with two spacers it corresponds in table 5 of the manual to the number 4. I believe that its a rating from 1-4 based on spacers, ear height, and distance. It was interesting that at ear height of 38 inches with a listening position 10 feet away, the number 4 was the rating for the table whether one had o spacers, 1, or two spacers.

I am hesitant to pull out the watt to see the distance guide and examine whether the rear watt spike is the right one only to find out it was.
