The diffraction pads on Wilson's deteriorate over time. You should plan on replacing them. There is a video on how to do it and a new thread about replacing the pads.
Wilson Watt Puppy 7…Would it work for me?
Hello all!
I have the opportunity to buy a pair of Wilson Watt Puppy 7’s in very good condition. While I will be able to audition them as part of the pick-up process, I won’t be able to trial them in my system. The front-end of my system is all vintage Audio Research: (2) D240MKII solid-state amps running in bridged mode, 480 watts/channel paired with LS7 and PH3 tubed pre-amps. Current speakers are Thiel 3.5 CS with their Electronic Bass Module. I listen to an eclectic mix of mostly classic rock, classic alternative, jazz standards, blues and pop from the 60’s 70’s and 80’s. Sources are Tidal streaming, CD rips from a BlueSound Vault, SACD and vinyl. Cabling is MIT Terminator series all the way around.
While I have no real issues with the way my system sounds, I’m really driven by the good old “up grade bug” and the fact that my Thiels are really old at this point and there are no new OEM spares for them.
So, I guess what I’m asking is will the Wilson Watt Puppy 7’s be a good match with my ARC components? Any fears of the Wilson’s being too revealing or demanding in terms of recording quality?
Thanks for any insights…Hope you’re all doing well!
