Wilson Maxx 1 compared to Puppy 6

To all,

I realy like the Krell / Wilson aound and I am very happy with the Puppy 6. However I listened to the Maxx once in a good setup and the dynamics of the Maxx are unbelievable. Also it is very fast and musical.

So now I have a change to upgrade to Maxx 1 for a relative cheap price. How will it fit in my room. The listening corner of my room is 4x5.5m (13x18 foot). Then my room has an L shape wich is 9.3m x 3m (30x10 foot).

How will the Maxx fit in. Will I have bass problems. Some people told me that because of the lower port frequency of the Maxx the bass problems would be less. I had bass problems with the Puppy 5.1 in my previous house but with the Puppy 6 it was gone. The bass sounded more musical.

How does the Maxx compare to the Puppy 7. Will the mids of the Puppy be equal to the Maxx. Here in Europe a second hand Maxx costs less than a second hand Puppy 7.

Sprbggr - I'm on the same page with you. I like the MAXX 1 much better than the WP7. The reasons why I prefer the MAXX are:
* Effortless Dynamics
* HUGE soundstage
* Ability to play ANY kind of music with authority

Certainly, as Oneobgyn and Siliab have good points as well, which just further illustrates the essential point that there is no "absolute" that appeals equally to everyone, we all have different perspectives and priorities.

Enjoy the MAXX! I hope it works with your room.
