Does the WATT/Puppy 8 image as well as the 7?


One of the strenghts of the Wilson WATT/Puppy system in its various versions always has been its ability to image with great specifity and precision. With the absence of lead ingots in the most recent version of the WATT/Puppy, the 8, and, correspondingly, less mass, I was wondering whether the company has compromised this wonderful characteristc, despite the change to better materials. Does anyone have experience with both versions that can speak to this concern? Before I buy this expensive rendition, I would welcome opinions. Thanks.

after hearing sonus fabers and eggleston andra's, i personally lost interest in wilson audio's quest to make "the best speakers in the world". one of the absolutely best MADE, no question. but sound-wise, while they are incredibly resolving,
they are perhaps some of the most analytical speakers out there (recall the WP-5's, the X-1's, or the cubs). UNLESS OF COURSE you can fork out whatever a pair of Alexandrias is going for these days. 'cause once you hear THEM you'll "understand" just how crazy-smart d.wilson is. luckily for years now other manufacturer's/designers are on to this marketing scheme and have some of their own amazing SOUNDING speakers to offer (and many for alot less money- like perhaps the new Revel Salons).
