I agree with Ct about laughing at a customer after they left. Dave. Are you that arrogant to do something so childish? I've seen young bitchy little teenage girls do stuff like that, but from a grown man working with customers? Get real. You also talk about what great values $35k speakers are. I don't recall you talking about more real world systems that cost far less than $35k for a whole setup. That is where I think a majority of potential customers are. I'm not in the business like you but as a "hobbyist" for almost 50 years I've listened to many systems of all price ranges and know good sound when I hear it...
Upgrade path from Wilson WattPuppy 7s? - seeking advice
I have a McIntosh system with a 275 tube amp, plus some PS Audio equipment. I play many different kinds of music - from Joe Bonamassa to Johannes Brahms.
I like the analytical quality of the WP 7's. They do seem to lack some midrange and do reproduce rock as well as some other speakers. So I previewed the following at Paragon Sound in Ann Arbor, and the price is a consideration. Here are my thoughts but am seeking advice:
(1) B&W 802 D3 - Better with rock, a bit mellow and not as analytical as the WP 7's. Better midrange than my current speakers.
(2) Wilson Alexia 1 - A bit pricey even with a hefty discount. Of interest, I found some of the higher resolution music files to be reproduced with too much complexity. The ability to discriminate transients, a feature of the WP speakers, seem to be diminished in the more elaborate sound provided by these speakers.
Any other suggestions? I do not want to spend a great deal of money, but have the ability if necessary.
Thanks in advance for any advice - Gerry
