About the new Wilson Audio Watt/Puppy 8

Save your money; buy the Zu Audio Definitions instead; better bass, huge sound stage, dynamic and more musical sounding. Don't fall for all the advertising hype of the Wilson like I did. Listen with your ears, not your eyes.

Keeping on thread, the 8 will have the new titanium high range driver from the MAXX 2, an extensively redesigned proprietary crossover and an entirely new cabinet utilizing new bracing and more of Wilson's "M" and "X" materials without any lead ingots since they are now banned by the EU. It is the EU's ban on all lead that has forced Wilson to reconfigure its speaker design since it is a speaker of international significance.
I have great respect for the Zu Audio Definitions. I understand they are the choice of polygamists worldwide.

Hifimaniac and Khrys,thanks a lot for your replies. They are much helpful to me.

$28,000 correct?

Hifimaniac -

I read your "David vs. Goliath" review.

So pretty much you're saying that the Caravelles sound better than the MAXXs in your 13 x 18 ft room....

That's like trying to drive a Farrari on a 10 foot track, you'd be better off with a go-kart.

13 x 18 is order-of-magnitutde WAY too small for the Wilson MAXXs. They are a big speaker, and require a big room, should be 16 x 25 or so minimum for the MAXX.

small room -> small speaker will sound better, it doesn't matter which one
