The $27,900 disappointment? Wilson Audio Watt Puppy 8 issues.

As any speaker designer knows, a really flat speaker sounds terrible.

Watt-Puppy 8s?   Really?  These speakers are 20-30 years old.  They haven't used that tweeter since then.  Does this guy actually listen to the speakers?  He spends the entire video talking about measurements. 

I owned the Watt-Puppy 7s and loved them.  Auditioned the big B&W N800s, and a number of other more expensive brands at the time. On the same system at a big NY/Phila area dealer.  Never liked the 8s as well.  Since, owned Sashas, Yvettes, and Sasha DAWs... all great.  Wilson technology, as others, has moved on.  Better drivers, cabinets and crossovers.  Darryl Wilson vs. Dave Wilson.  Times, cables, speakers, amplification and sources are way better today.  The current Watt-Puppy is a remarkable little speaker.  This old, dog eared thing should be retired.

Send the speakers in?  For what possible reason?

Nobody listens to them anyway.

Wilson is the world's leading high end speaker company.  In the final analysis their designs are tuned by critical listeners with extensive live music experience.  Dave Wilson in this case. The Watt/Puppy, recently reintroduced, remains the largest selling high end speaker of all time.

People don't spend that kind of money on badly designed speakers.
