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

Isn't the obvious question why is he reviewing/modding and slagging a 13yr old iteration of the WWP? Is there really enough commercial constituency to make it worth his while? It just doesn't seem relevant.

FWIW I heard older models and was not impressed enough to buy a pair. I just heard the 50th anniversary models- and was and did.

A friend just loaned me his 19” Sony Trinitron.

I plugged it in and the Sony flickered to life. I don’t know why everyone loves these. The screen is small. Its dim (4,5 bits) It’s very heavy. The color range looks compressed and lacks accuracy. And the much lauded black level measures a dark grey.

The image was fuzzy and lacked clarity but I tried a couple of mods and yield significant improvement ( I moved the antenna around and my sitting position back 17’). I highly recommend them.
 

Then for a comparison I put it beside my Samsung QN 90D 85”.Wow . The Samsung was clearly better in every way- there was no comparison. 
 

The Sony new is $3,226 ($550 1975 dollars today), Why would anyone buy or bother to review one of these?

Doesn’t he make his own speakers?

Maybe he should send a 20 yr old design to Wilson for them to measure and improve upon . If they can.
