I’m considering upgrading my speakers internal wiring
@bobbyloans  If you want to go full OCD, don't assume anything about the speakers.  Trust, but verify.   Push on connectors are bad.  Soldered connections better. Anything magnetic at the binding post, replace. Picture of the crossover indicat... 
The Audio Science Review (ASR) approach to reviewing wines.
@devinplombier Do something besides spewing nonsense.  Put forth a little effort and do the research yourself.  
The Audio Science Review (ASR) approach to reviewing wines.
@devinplombier  Now that’s a load of unsubstantiated BS - heavy on innuendo and MIA on facts. All facts. Read many of the threads on ASR.  Name calling and personal attacks routine behavior.  Your comments follow the ASR model. Amir jumped a ... 
The Audio Science Review (ASR) approach to reviewing wines.
I believe Amir started with good intentions to provide useful information. The emergence of a vocal, sometimes arrogant and nasty, ASR following turns many off.  Amir has done very little to rein in the most offensive ASR faithful.  Amir himself ... 
The $27,900 disappointment? Wilson Audio Watt Puppy 8 issues.
If we're gonna question every W/P owner's posting credentials, why don't we bring up Danny Richie's past association with AV123 and its convicted criminal scammer Mark Schifter? Geez. I hate YouTube personalities. @mulveling  Nobody is question...

@hjdca  Wilson claims the Watt and Puppy should be measured together.  How is that going to change the response from 200 Hz up?  Strange claim.

@mclinnguy Just search YouTube for OCD Mikey.  Enjoy.

@mulveling  You might want to be aware of facts before jumping on the keyboard to spread nonsense.  Clearly you have no idea what you are talking about.  Danny does more critical listening in a proper musical system and proper room than the rest ...

@simonmoon , +100  Nailed it!   Age of the Wilson speakers is irrelevant.  Good speaker design was not discovered last week.

@livinon2wheels  He does and says things I don't agree with and I left a lengthy comment on one of his threads on YT and told him how and why I thought he was incorrect. He vehemently disagreed with my assessment and as he wouldn't engage in a f... 
The $27,900 disappointment? Wilson Audio Watt Puppy 8 issues.
As any speaker designer knows, a really flat speaker sounds terrible. A flat FR does not by itself define the sound quality of a speaker.  Personal experience with multi $K speakers universally reviewed as great sounding with flat FR.  They wer...

Isn't the obvious question why is he reviewing/modding and slagging a 13yr old iteration of the WWP? You need to actually pay attention.  NOT a review.  Danny did not select the speakers, an owner sent in unhappy with the Wilsons. Second video... 
The $27,900 disappointment? Wilson Audio Watt Puppy 8 issues.
Isn't this a "review" by a competitor who mostly criticizes the design choices made by Wilson for the Watt/Puppy?  No, it is not a review.  An unhappy Wilson owner sent the speakers to Danny. That is how it goes and this is less a review than... 
ACTUAL MUSICAL SOUND VS. MEASUREMENTS
Just out of pure curiosity, I wonder how many people on this thread are members of organizations such as the Audio Engineering Society (A.E.S.), or related groups such as the Acoustical Society of America (A.S.A.) or similar. What does membersh... 
ACTUAL MUSICAL SOUND VS. MEASUREMENTS
Objective vs Subjective has been around forever.  All credibility is lost when measurements are used to claim a $200 and $2000 piece of gear will undeniably sound the same if the they measure the same.  Not stopping there, any item deemed expensiv...
