Watt Puppy 8 vs. Zu Definition

Undertow: 'gonna be some heat on this one..." Further the fire if I may, if AW will exceuse my impoliteness.
Wilson versus Zu versus Tyler. But like THsaman points out the Wilson's are not out, but at least the older version can be used, and the Zu's have very limited distributorship, though we do have owners opinions to go by.
Man this should get interesting.

Tvad, to me, musical is simply a way to describe a listening experience during which you get goosebumps and then want to get up and run around dancing in your listening room.

Awiavac: "...a listening experience..." There is the trained ear, and the neophyte, and all grades of listeners inbetween. I'd say it takes me less time at present to determine what the character of the speaker is. Character meaning the 4 or 5 main important attributes in speaker voicing. Less time now because of the Seas I have. Pre-ownership of Seas', I need at least 2 to 3 hours to get the feel of a speaker. Honestly after being around so many speakers over the apst 30 yrs i can assume whether I'll like a speaker or not. Usually that is. Planars/ribbons I'm neutral on opinion. Its the cone that I've got a knack for. When I first took a Seas out the box for purposes of sending to a DIYer yrs ago, I said , ah now here's a driver. and so it turned out to be. Apologies to barge in on a Wislon topic like this. The B&W 602 sounded fine at the showroom, or somewhat OK lets say. But 2 yrs later all the weaknesses were fully exposed. man was I wrong, but was a learning experience.
