Watt/Puppy 6's were my second pair of high end speakers (first was Von Schweikert VR-4.5), bought them right when they were released in 1999. I actually kept them for 24 years, finally gave them up late last year for a pair of Alexia 2's. The old W/P are substantially smaller than the Sasha's. Really closer in size to the Yvette. You really needed that handle on the old W/P, because the Watt was designed to be a standalone monitor the crossover for the mid/tweeter had to be in the Watt, which added a lot of weight.

At the 8 Minute mark, where you're showing the backs of the old and new, tell me that's not Darth Vader on the right. Talk about Iconic! 😀 Love your show, it's my favorite.

Every Wilson Audio speaker reminds me of Star Wars. The top bin (Watt) in this one looks like Darth Vader's helmet, especially from behind, and all the speakers above the Sasha (my favorite speaker) look like Vader-General Grievous crossbreeds.

I own Sophia 1 from 2001 and still happy with them, one advantage I see is that as I sit low on my Le Corbusier Chaiselongue LC44 - both the new Watt Puppy and the Sasha have adjustable head but obviously there’s a big price gap between them. As a side note visually I prefer the simple design of the Sophia 1 though.

I own rare Jon Dahlquist DQ 32 Phased Array Floor Speakers. Reproduce so well it’s like they live here. Should be charged rent. But with the music DQ 32’s manufacture they stay rent free…Unboxed, Unblemished Unbelievable…

Wait a second, there’s no watches worn in this video? No MB&F, C and R??? Blasphemy! 😂 but yeah, if I were to bang my watch against the speakers, I’d feel bad for my watch too. And did not know about the connection between Wilson and Focal, so thanks for that tidbit, Adrian.

@adrianlow2114 2 ай бұрын

I forgot to wear one. Just as well; with my clumsiness, I'd scratch the speakers and damage the watch

Thank you, Adrian I am looking forward to your assesment of the Watt/Puppy. I am interested in what your opinion of the value proposition of this speaker. I understand that the Canadian price out the Watt/Puppy is over $50,000 and I have heard that the Yvette has been dropped from the lineup.The gap between the Watt/Puppy and the Sasha is close to $10000 but the gap to the Sabrina is over double that. I currently own the Sophia 3.

@adrianlow2114 2 ай бұрын

Hi. The gap between the Sasha V and the Watt/Puppy is $17,250 CDN, and $23,460 CDN between the Watt/Puppy and Sabrina X. As to the value proposition of the Watt/Puppy, it uses the identical drivers as the Sasha V, with newer capacitors. Although smaller in stature, initial impressions are very positive. Easily as good or better than the Sasha DAW. Also not everyone will have the visual space or indeed the budget for the Sasha V. I guess ultimately the best thing is to listen for yourself and see

I really dislike the shape and that alone would stop me buying it. Its form looks homemade. I understand these are incredible sounding speakers but the shape doesnt agree with me.
