Post Subject: Wilson wat puppyPosted by Amir on: 8/13/2009

I think correct positioning the watt puppy and maxx model in room is not easy and each time i listened to them i sensed a bloated sound, I guessed bloated sound refer to acoustics. i know these model drivers are not fast but i guessed in a good room and good position we hear a non bloated sound with these speakers.

when i close watt puppy 7 to rear wall, sound loose dynamic and flow with increase in tonal resolution and a sense of peace, when i move speaker against the rear wall i get better dynamic, more airy and open sound but with sense of bloated sound that cause stressing me in long term.

I believe in a good room we can find a very good position for watt puppy but i know access to good result is hard and maybe impossible in general rooms.
I tried to position gryphon sealed box atlantis , it gives better result in shorter time and i sensed i can find a very good position in shorter time.

It seems that ported speakers are so sensitive to acoustics and their placement is harder and sealed box speakers can give better result in our rooms.

wilson speakers should be compared with other speakers on market not with a absolute reference. i agree our ideals maybe far from market products.
I agree wilson speakers have some problems and i know they are expensive in their performance class but in this crap market they have a over mid position in my idea. i never heard many speakers but in iran between 20 speaker brands they were over mid class.
duette, sophia, watt puppy 7 driver quality were near crap but maxx and watt puppy 8 tweeter and mid drivers were good and alexandria drivers were faster with more resolution.
alexandria in lightness (transient speed) and resolution was in another league but maxx and wat puppy 8 driver quality was acceptable.

I have this sense that they sound good for rock'n roll but i do not think they just are suitable for rock'n roll.

market is full of crap products and better components like ESP Concert Grand SI Speaker are in corner and have a small market.

Is there any idea about ESP Speakers? http://www.esploudspeakersna.com/

I never listened to these speakers but it seems they have a good sound in comparison with other market products.
