Wilson MAXX 2 vs Watt Puppy 8


WP8 is an awesome speaker when set up correctly,wide soundstage,great dynamics and timbre. What do you gain by moving up the MAXX 2 other than lower bass? Do you need to treat the room to get the full potential of the MAXX 2? I listen to contemporary jazz (Pat Matheny,Rippingtons) and R&B (old and new). Is the MAXX 2 more of orchestra fan speaker?

WAF,not many mates are in favor of adding acoustic doo dads to the main living room,thats why I like the WP8,limited dispersion actually comes in handy,takes the room out of the equation. But the MAXX also interests me and my local Wilson store in Austin does not have one to demo.

Maxx2man I think he meant that he will give 7 out of 8 to W/P 8 for being life like and full marks to Maxx2.
Maxx2 is a huge step up and the real deal. if people have 7s, i always say skip 8s and save for Maxx2s
If the Watt Puppies are $27K versus $45K for the Maxx II, guess which one I am going to pick? They both sound wonderful.
What is the story on upgrading Maxx 1s to Maxx 2s ? (I am getting a set of the upgraded Maxxes.)
Your getting a killer speaker for a lot less $$'s. I think the only difference is how the grills attach. I'd still have a wilson dealer set them up. Might cost a little...
