Wilson Watt Puppy, which version?

I've had 5's 6's 7's and sophias. In my opinion the best buys are the 7's. The 6's and 5's are good but seem over priced right now. There are lots of 7's avialable and that seems to bring the price down.

I have never seen the Sophisas as eveen close to the watt puppies. Maybe thats becasue I like a strong base and like to listen to rock and roll on occasion. If you like classical music the sophias might do but if you want strong bass go watt puppy, period

i will agree that when i first got the 7's the tweater was a little shrill at high volume but it was also easily fixed by buying better interconnects. If I was going to buy speakers in the ten grand range 7's would be very hard to beat. I did just buy some mbl 111e's and they are quite nice. They don't rock like Wilsons but do sound a little cleaner at normal listening levels.

I also think the shrillness was often caused by poor recoding qualities of the source, whether it be a cd, dvd or album.

If you want to stick to the ten figure go with the 7's. The eight's might be a little better but your going to pay $3 to 4g's more for them.

And yes some dealers get refurbished 7's and 8's for sale. You can even get a warranty and set up. Personaly I think the set up thing is over rated. You can do it yourself. And beside most rooms will dictate within a few feet where you will want to put them. I had the 6's and then bought the 7's from a dealer. they came and set them up and they were put exactly where I had the 6's. I did a little clap test and moved them around for a few hours and accomplished everything the dealer did without the expense.
