Watt Puppy that much of an improvement?

Long time lurker/learner here with a question perhaps some of you guys can weigh in on. My set up is Pass X250, Pass X1 pre, ML No 37, ML 360S DAC along with B&W 802S3 on SA's. Good interconnects with Purist Venustus spkr cables. Anyway, I've been reading with interest about the watt puppies and started thinking....if I purchase used, I could probably swing a set wp6, wp7. All things being equal, will the resolution, soundstage and depth be that much better than with my B&W's? That darned upgrade bug is still fly'n around and if the more experienced here says there is......I'm going to start looking more seriously and try to find a set to audition. Thanks.....Mark

I upgraded from a pair of B&W N803 to Wilson Audio CUB2 a couple of years ago, and there was no comparison, no need to A/B, the Wilsons sounded real and the B&W sounded like stereo speakers - I later had a chance to compare them to the B&W 803D and results were the same - the B&Ws sounded closed-in compared to the wide-open sounding Wilsons - I have since moved up the Wilson line with PASS Amplifiers, which has been a match made in heaven - go for the W/Ps - it's a purchase that you won't regret, with many happy listening years ahead-

Stvrvin,
I like those rock artists as well. I believe you'll enjoy your music much more through the Wilson's. But you've still got a great system now. Happy listening.

I never liked WATT/Puppys until the 7's came out. When Wilson came out with the Sophias and then the WATT/Puppys, then things started sounding great. The earlier Wilsons made my ears bleed.. they were usually connected to Krells.
I think the WATT/Puppys would be a great upgrade to your B&W's.
