Stereophile review of the new Wilson Watt/Puppy

I stopped reading Stereophile several years ago for no particular reason, so haven’t seen the review, but I just ordered a pair of WWP after auditioning several other of the usual suspects (Focal, B&W, Sonus Faber etc.).

I listen to a wide variety of music (most everything but Country and Rap) so chose a few familiar musical pieces including Kraftwerk’s Tour de France. That sealed the deal. Holographic sound with tight, articulate bass.

I believe that these speakers will faithfully reproduce any genre of music put to them (even Country and Rap!). I wouldn’t have bought them otherwise.

I listened to the V’s and WWP back to back- both sounded great. I would be happy with either but on that day the WWP’s sounded “better” (different rooms- but both nothing special btw- glass, open sided with no treatment ). 

YMMV

This was/is pretty much my experience and take on the WWPs vs the other speakers I heard and the Sasha V. The new Puppies may cannibalize the Wilson lineup .

When I heard them they were without a sub and I didn’t feel them “needing” one, as neither do the 801s that they will replace. That said I do use one- a VMPS Larger for very low bass energy that is only there on select tracks - and will do likewise with the WWPs. 
 

But if I didn’t already have a sub I don’t think I’d bother.

My pair are in the mail (being shipped to Nassau).

He is. Said a day would do it.
