Wilson Sasha versus Watt Puppy 8


Hi Folks:

Recently had the opportunity to listen to the Wp's successor with a Boulder amplifier. That was also a treat because it was the first Boulder I have ever heard. Impressive but not to my taste.

In any event, I was slightly surprised to find that I prefer the sound of the WP 8, which, to this day, is the best Wilson I have ever heard and that includes the original Alexandria and the excellent MAXX 2's. The Sasha sounded a bit more "refined" but, at least on this system, seemed to give up a little richness in the treble and bass energy. Still a very good speaker indeed. Anyone notice the same thing on other systems?

My WP 8 experience was in New York at the last Sterophile show with the amazing BAT VK150SE's. A fantastic time indeed.

Tpreaves,

You are wrong!
I am, (at this very minute, no less!), holding Shakey's face in front of the monitor, and forcing him to read your posts!
(I've had to resort to using duct tape to hold his eye lids open on number of occasions, but today he is resisting less than usual!)
;-)

To be honest, I am less than thrilled with their looks too, but only because I find them kind of boring looking, not because I find them ugly. Sonically, I find them to sound good, but not great, IMHO. (If someone were to give me a pair, I could put up with them.) I prefer speakers with a bit more of a design flare myself.

My two cents worth.

PS Shakey, it would be easier to write this if you would stop twisting and turning so much!!!!!
