My first post - I just joined but I’ve been a reader of this forum.
I have Wilson Sabrina X’s with 2024 Watt Puppys ordered.
My opinion of this video and his methods of measuring speaker performance aside,
my one comment is actually about the title and premise of the video.
”$27,900 disappointment…”
First off, anyone who spent $27K on a 20 year old pair of Watt Puppys probably deserves to have issues… Maybe I didnt catch it, but did he ever mention that these speakers were released in 2006 (and discontinued in 2011)?
I ask because in the beginning of the video when discussing the Focal, he made specific mention that he used the same part “way, way back in the late 90’s” in their first speaker. So he is dating components, but conveniently seemed to leave out the date of the model he was working on.
We can argue whether or not that was intentional, but for anyone that doesnt know the Wilson line well, they’ll conveniently conclude that this speaker isnt old and costs close to $28k. This is evidenced by many of the comments based on misinformation (or maybe, lack of information.)
Maybe he did mention the age and I missed it - but if he left that out then he did Wilson a disservice, and its a convenient way to throw shade without actually spelling it out
