wilson watt puppy 7 help and suggestions

Thanks for the info on the damping. I thought it would probably not need to be switched but better not to assume.

Interesting follow up on your input regarding the short plug. I checked the manual and the amp is shipped with the short already inserted. The manual says to take out the short plug if you are using balanced xlr.

I have high ceiling (although I have treated them) and wood floors (albeit a few rugs) and so the room is real lively. I am using two spacers.

I would be curious now that I have treated walls and thrown down some rugs whether maybe one spacer would suffice and hey no even sure I have correct back spike.

I would love to play around with these things but want to find someone local here who might give me a hand in that endeavor. I am open to bribing someone local and am looking for victim/volunteers in a posting I placed at audiogon and audio asylum.

I would hate to pay a professional to do that because they would charge probably $500 to come over for a few hours and who knows if they even really know the watt puppy 7 process.

I might be a bit daft but where would I find out if using the right back spike? I know that when I originally installed the wilson the guy put in one spacer. I then had him come back and add a second spacer. The guy was sort of impatient and am pretty sure he did not adjust the back spike after adding the spacer.

It appears just at looking at the spike at the back and the speaker equipment kit that I currently have in the shorter of the two spikes. Does this mean necessarily that the longer spike would be preferable? I hate to play around with this on my own. Is it easy to adjust by yourself never having done it before? The dealer will be of no help because I got a great deal on a 3 month old pair of puppy 7's because this other customer wanted to upgrade to the maxx's and so he sold me his puppy 7's through the audiogon and got the la dealer he bought the maxx's from to throw in the delivery and installation of my speakers for a flat fee. They did it but were less than thrilled not to get the sale of a new puppy 7 from me since I had bought the sophias from them. In any case, they were not that much help with the installation of the sophias and do not consider them very audiophile savvy and are a curious choice for a wilson dealer.
