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

"An amps ability to drive lower impedance loads has no relation to the amps quality."

I can’t agree with this. The ability to drive lower impedance loads means that the power supply has to be up to the task. This would include such things as heavier gauge wiring in the transformer, and other places, and "bigger" supply caps, and that does infer a higher quality.

And more output devices, and more heatsinking...but this assumes an "equal grounds" approach via traditional A / AB topologies with linear PSU’s. There’s rail switching designs, PSU modulating, class D - all kinds of alternate approaches that can be utilized to generate more power and low-impedance handling with less cost.

Boy we are way off topic lol. All good engineering makes certain assumptions about the intended applications and audience for a product. It’s completely valid for Wilson to take the approach they have - for the sound quality they were trying to achieve, the context of the time perdiod, their intended audience (who are generaly NOT cheapskates when it comes to amps), etc. Complete hubris for DR to come in 20 years later and act superior for tearing down a Wilson against the parameters of his TOTALLY different goals and customer base. He wants to show neat "high value" BOM’s and flat FR graphs for his modest boxes (mostly focused on bookshelf form factor) and drive them with receivers, I get it.

I'm guessing the owner feels the speakers are lacking in a certain department within his room. We do not know if the owner has any treatments. For all we know the room may be four concrete walls. The speaker manufacturer cannot know every customer's listening situation. 

In my view, a company like GIK Acoustics could go into the owner's room and "fix" whatever the owner lacks. Plus that "fix" would be lasting with any speaker the owner buys.

This. Wilson makes choices with their design, they arent flaws (to them). They create their speakers to function optimally within a given system, even if it means they wont perform as well in a different system.  They’re building a product that is designed to work with high quality components because thats what their customers will have. 
As a Wilson owner, if you asked me if I would be willing to sacrifice some performance in my setup, so that my speakers would sound better in a lower end setup, I would obviously be against that. I didnt buy them so that I could connect them to a mass market amplifier and I wouldnt expect anybody else would either. 

No one with expensive high quality speakers would drive these with cheap electronics. This isnt the issue. The issue is if Wilson can achieve the same quality of sound making the speakers higher impedance with a more refined curve. As it stands Wilson is excluding a great number of amps on the market because they cant drive lower impedance loads.

I should add that Wilson has been very successful to date with some idiosyncratic performance issues so I cant blame the son for not changing much on the new designs. Thank goodness he changed the tweeter.
