Wilson Watt Puppy 7 and Watch Surrounds?


I am trying to set up a home theater. I have a BAT VK 6200 and a BAT VK 51 SE, as well as a Sony g90, Faroudja DVP 5000 and Stewart Studiotek 130 screen. I need a good/great processor and speakers.

I have had theater installers recommend Lexicon mc12b and Genelec powered speakers. This room will be almost exclusively theater.

I believe that Wilson Watt/Puppy 7's and Watch surrounds as well as good subs is the way to go.

What are opinions?

Cougmeister, you definately have a reference video section. A Wilson speaker system would highly compliment what you already have. If you are going to use the BAT gear for 2 channel, I would suggest you take a look at the Krell Showcase processor for HT playback. If you are going to use the processor for 2 channel playback, take a look at the Krell HTS 7.1. I have WP 7's and a G90 in my system. The 7's are spectacular for music and HT. I will be adding the DVP 5000, Wilson Watch surrounds, and Krell Showcase processor soon.
Cougmeister, I would suggest going with a quality 2 channal pre amp for music and then use a Krell Showcase for HT. You will have the best of both worlds for about the same cost as one of the more expensive processors. As good as some of the new processors are, they are still not on par with the best 2 channel pre amps. The Krell Showcase is IMO as good as any processor for HT. I currently have an all SS system but I have listened to the WP 7's in an ARC tube system and they sounded amazing. It sounded so good that I plan to add a tube pre amp to my system, however I will keep the Krell amps. As far as cables go, I am currently using Cardas Golden Ref speaker and Cast interconnects. I am happy with them but at some point hope to add Transparent speaker cables.
