@OP. Mr Colloms has long been a fan of Naim equipment. As you can see in the review, he started listening to the W/P with his Naim 250 but couldn't drive them with it. If you are familiar with Naim type sound it will explain why Mr Collom's was slightly critical of the W/P on rock music. Aewarren above has summed up why.
Stereophile review of the new Wilson Watt/Puppy
I received my copy of the latest Stereophile yesterday and was curious to see what Martin Collums had to say about them, even though I would take it with a grain of salt, knowing that he had owned them in the past. He's still one of the reviewers that I consider to be most technically informed and balanced in his reviews.
I'm starting this thread because I want to know if others found his conclusions as confusing as I did. He says that the speakers have deep powerful bass, great detail, wonderful dynamic range, and are able to play very loud without breakup.
However, after all of that, he concludes that they are better for jazz and orchestral and perhaps a bit reticent for pop and rock. This made no sense to me, especially for a $40.000 speaker. I am curious about the opinions of anyone else who has read the review.
