I have heard and owned both the WP7 and the WP8 and feel the 8 is clearly superior to the 7 in transparency, musicality. In other words, the WP7 is harsh and a bit metallic.
Majority of praises for the WP7 (versus the WP8) are from Wilson dealers and/or Wilson dealer/owners who are/were keen to sell their older and inferior WP7, especially the trade-ins and store demos.
The short life of the WP8 had everything to do with its performance - the improvement over the WP7 was tremendous that Wilson wanted a NEW name rather than the implication of incremental benefits which the "8" version may allude to. In short, the WP8 is closer to the SASHA than the WP7.
Current availability of the WP8 in the 13-15K range (depending upon finish) offers a tremedous opportunity to attain near SASHA sound. Hours and hours of smooth, non-fatiguing musical bliss awaits the purchasers of WP8.
