Best Bargain on Wilsons: Which Model or Version?


I have heard a few pairs of Wilson Watt Puppies, including the WP VII's not so long ago which I thought sounded pretty good.

Just guessing but I would expect the Series I, II etc are a LOT cheaper, in part because they were about half the price when they were new.

Could someone please explain the finer points of buying used WP's and which version gives the best performance per used dollar?

Thank you.

For my $.02 the best value for the $ are the W/P series of speakers.

As to what series to purchase, is a matter of how much money you have allocated for your speakers. If you have 10K then buy the WP/6's and enjoy. The WP/5's are going to sound very nice but will drop that extra full or 1/2 octave that the 6 and 7 Puppy cabinets provide.

I'm the second owner of a pair of Watt I's/ Puppy 2's, These have been very well cared for and have continued to grow with each improvement in my electronics. Friends with very good ears come over and are amazed in the dimension, stage, and dynamicss of speakers that were designed and built probably some 17-20 years back.

The purists are going to jump all over this but I went and listened to a pair of the WP/7's and I bet that I have 92% of the sound VS new.

Happy Shopping
