Review: Wilson Audio Puppy 6 Speaker


Category: Speakers

Just before Xmas '04 I found a pair of mint Wilson Audio Watt Puppy 6's (black) from a local man here in NY @ a great price (he just bought the 7's)
I went to his home with my friend Kenny (audio engineer) & auditioned them.
I was in 7th heaven listening to Herbie Mann, Dave Brubeck, Doc Severnsen, Ella, Santana, Motzart, Clapton, Rippingtons, Who & others.
After about 2 hours of the audition, I looked at Kenny & he nodded.
$OLD!
I left a deposit & we picked them up on Sat.
Placement is very important:
Within 2 hours we had them set up (placement) & I will never look back.
Great sound:
Bass is fantastic & quick (no sub needed) maybe the best I've ever heard.
Mids are fluid & rich.
Highs are a tad bright, Just the way I like 'em!
I still love my Eggleston Rosa's (in another system), but everytime I listen to the Wilson's - I SMILE!
Cannot tell you how much I really love them in words as this is a speaker you must hear to understand & enjoy.
If you are in the market for a speaker that will do just about everything right (95%) & not just satisfy you - give the puppies a listen.
A great speaker - if not a fantastic one.
Find yourself a pair of pre-owned WWP6's & SMILE!

I have to agree with Jvogt. In my View the Puppy sisx is an amusical speaker. I never listen to them without having a headache after a half an hour or so. I listened years ago when making a decision as to what to buy in that price range and spent two didfferent ocassions listening to them at two different dealers with different equipment up front. Both times my and my wife's reactions were the same. Steely highs, unintegrated speakers. I finally bought Proac Response 4s, after listening to B&W Nautillus speaker, the Maggie 20 the Monitor Audio 100 and the top Dunleavy of the time and a Genesis model the number I forget. I thought that all of them were decent and reasonable purchases escept for the Puppies.
