Wilson Watt Puppy, which version?

I am thinking of getting into the WIlson line with the Watt Puppy's. I have heard a few before in showrooms and I enjoyed them. I can not afford a new one, so looking at the previous ones there were several versions produced over the years. Can anyone explain the differences and if there are any "sweet spots" in the line up. ie is every newer version better or was there a point of diminishing return with the introduction of newer versions? I am trying to stay under 10k for a used pair. Thank you

IME, lot of folks (not just those above) like the 7 best of the W/P lineage. I have somewhat limited experience with the progression of the WATT/Puppy, but off my auditioning, I'd agree with that assessment. IMO, that conclusion also squares with a general preference for the Sophia in that the earlier W/P versions always struck me as slightly lean, until the 7s which are IMO a bit fuller in the mid/upper bass. The Sophias (particularly the original) sounded fuller yet. The later Sophias and the W/P 7 seem to converge on an octave to octave balance that works for a lot of folks.

Caveat: Above conclusion qualified for limited auditioning at different dealers, different systems, and different times - so a big FWIW.

Good Luck
