Wilson Audio Watt Puppy 7

A rare pair of these famous loudspeakers in very nice condition! In grey gloss finish. Includes original packing (crates), manual, and accessories.

"The Wilson Audio WATT/Puppy 7 is a speaker you can both respect and love with ease. It goes low, plays loud, responds quickly, and sounds delicate, detailed, and vivid. It is rhythmically lithe and dynamically expressive, and it projects an impressively large, dramatic, room-filling picture. After the $41,500/pair Rockport Antares, the $22,400/pair WATT/Puppy 7 is the most open, least congested speaker I've heard.I've been told that the various WATT/Puppy iterations over the years have vacillated between soulless perfection and soulful compromise, stopping everywhere between.

I can't speak about the WATT/Puppy 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6, but I can about the latest edition: The 7 has both soul, and, I'll bet, superb technical performance. While its frequency response appears to have been altered from strict flatness to add layers of love in the midbass and high frequencies, the WATT/Puppy 7 has so may positive attributes and so few negative ones that I do not hesitate to say that it's one of the finest-sounding and -performing speakers I have had the pleasure to evaluate. It does just about everything you could want from a speaker of any size. Is it "perfect"? No. But it's surely good enough!" - Stereophile

"Call it refinement, upgrade, or modification, but with the WATT/Puppy 7, David Wilson and crew have made an already great loudspeaker sound even better and further enhanced the WATT/Puppy's status as an audio classic -- an impressive achievement. I was especially delighted with the 7's purity and naturalness, both of which translate to great enjoyment of music, but the bass power, explosive dynamics, and high resolution that are WATT/Puppy earmarks are all in abundance too. At $22,400, the price of a pair of WATT/Puppy 7s is steep, but so is the climb to commensurate levels of sound quality with competing speakers -- if indeed they have been reached at all outside of Wilson Audio's Provo, Utah headquarters. The WATT/Puppy 7 is a small-footprint floorstanding speaker that offers true state-of-the-art performance. It is also the finest speaker I've heard in my system -- with solid state, low-power tubes, and everything in between. Hey, Christmas is coming. Maybe Santa's sleigh can hold a pair for you. -  SoundStage! Reviewer's Choice.
