| Compar Wilson Watt P 6.1 or Revel Salon i agree with jtinn above. having auditioned both and having lived with the watt/puppy 6s for the last year and 1/2 the 6s are the more refined speaker. some other benefits of the 6s are the adjustability of the top "watt" modules for sitting heigh... | |
| WATT PUPPY 3/2 WHAT AMPLIFIER?TWEETER i have owned 3/2s, 5.1s, and now 6s. 2 things i have learned about watt/puppy bass. first, get all the power you can; i now have levinson #33 monoblocks and the additional control transformed the 6s. second, the woofers on the puppy's are greatly ... | |
