ARE WILSON AUDIO WATT PUPPY 8 FOR 6 GRAND A GOOD DEAL?


I have the opportunity to get a mint pair of Wilson Watt puppy 8's for 6 grand. How does the performance of this loudspeaker stack up with current stuff and is this a good deal?

Not into the shouting sound of horns and nothing shouts more than a Klipsch. Plus the poor cabinet and horrible resonances.  That is one crappy loudspeaker.  
equipment is Krell evolution 302e amplifier, Ayre K5xe mp preamp, Wadia 321 Dac, Audiolab 6000cdt transport, VPI classic 1 turntable with Hana MH cartridge, bluesound node 2i, Manley Chinook phono preamp. Room is 9 ft tall by 14.5 feet deep and 17 ft wide. Will this equipment work oldhvymec?
Is Wilson Audio just a big name speaker with a big price? or are they really that good?
I listened to treo CT and quatro Vandersteen and I was not impressed. poor dynamics. Too laid back. Lack of excitement.  boomy bass. I have owned Vandersteen 2ci, 3a and 4a back in the 90's so I like Vandersteens but I only like the model 7 and the Quinto. They are out of my price range. Model 5a is good but they are too old. 5a carbon too much money.
