Wilson Watt 3/Puppy 2 Loudspeaker


I was tempted by a highly discounted used pair of these, and I know JA gave it a very positive review. However, I’m curious about what Audiogoners who actually own them think. I’d appreciate it if you could share your insights.  Thx.

@OP They are still good speakers in many respects, particularly in bass punch and articulation. However, they were always bright sounding. If buying used, be aware that the bass units used a foam surround which is prone to deterioration with age.

@OP At $3k, provided all the drivers are in perfect condition, they are a bargain. but you need to listen to them properly set up to see if they are for you. Forget about trying to use SET amps with them - they need an amp with a big psu and lots of current. You can never go by a speakers' efficiency numbers without relating it to its EPDR. Wilsons and B&Ws are two examples of nominally efficient speakers that do not work with low power/low current amplifiers.
