| Wilson Watt Puppies 50th year Anniversary model I listened to B&W D4 801s and 802s (and Focal and Sonis Faber) and to my ear the WWP bested them all. All were Mac driven. What speaker cables are you using? | |
| Would like to get more bass out of my B&W 801 series 2 speakers IMHO these are not great low level speakers. Some are but not these. Even at low levels the drivers seem to need high current to get decent sound out. The “stands” are basically 3/4” sealed wooden boxes the speakers sit on to raise them up and d... | |
| Would like to get more bass out of my B&W 801 series 2 speakers FWIW I have 801 S2 Mk IIIs. Currently in a medium sized, treated room. Formerly in a very large room. I have used various amps in biamped configuration- Krell, Crown and Mac.Since new I made sturdy pedestal bases filled with sand that must weigh a... | |
| Wilson Watt Puppies 50th year Anniversary model I felt the same way when I heard them with Mac amplifiers Previous iterations did not strike me the same way, | |
| The $27,900 disappointment? Wilson Audio Watt Puppy 8 issues. Doesn’t he make his own speakers? Maybe he should send a 20 yr old design to Wilson for them to measure and improve upon . If they can. | |
| The $27,900 disappointment? Wilson Audio Watt Puppy 8 issues. A friend just loaned me his 19” Sony Trinitron. I plugged it in and the Sony flickered to life. I don’t know why everyone loves these. The screen is small. Its dim (4,5 bits) It’s very heavy. The color range looks compressed and lacks accuracy. A... | |
| The $27,900 disappointment? Wilson Audio Watt Puppy 8 issues. Isn't the obvious question why is he reviewing/modding and slagging a 13yr old iteration of the WWP? Is there really enough commercial constituency to make it worth his while? It just doesn't seem relevant. FWIW I heard older models and was not i... | |
| McIntosh MX 200 Review (short) Unless its an Apple thing, I can't get the network function to work.My iPAd loaded the URL and I can see the settings but cannot make any changes to them. Maybe try a different browser. Still loving the sound (and picture). | |
| Stereophile review of the new Wilson Watt/Puppy When I heard them they were without a sub and I didn’t feel them “needing” one, as neither do the 801s that they will replace. That said I do use one- a VMPS Larger for very low bass energy that is only there on select tracks - and will do likewis... | |
| Stereophile review of the new Wilson Watt/Puppy This was/is pretty much my experience and take on the WWPs vs the other speakers I heard and the Sasha V. The new Puppies may cannibalize the Wilson lineup . | |
| Stereophile review of the new Wilson Watt/Puppy I listened to the V’s and WWP back to back- both sounded great. I would be happy with either but on that day the WWP’s sounded “better” (different rooms- but both nothing special btw- glass, open sided with no treatment ). YMMV | |
| Stereophile review of the new Wilson Watt/Puppy I stopped reading Stereophile several years ago for no particular reason, so haven’t seen the review, but I just ordered a pair of WWP after auditioning several other of the usual suspects (Focal, B&W, Sonus Faber etc.). I listen to a wide va... | |
| McIntosh MX 200 Review (short) My bad- 105D | |
| McIntosh MX 200 Review (short) I’ll be interested in your take and whether I’m just imagining it! | |
| New Speakers under consideration - but I’m afraid While awaiting the WWPs next month, I just got a McIntosh MX 200 pre with only one set of balanced outs so had to un-biwire the 801s. They never sounded better. Not sure which made the difference but the soundstage is very 3 dimensional now. Audi... |
