WATT/Puppy 8

So here it is.

Wilson Audio's signature product, in continuous production since the 1980s, now appearing in System 8 iteration. What does that mean to you?

• The anti-jitter crossover technology developed for the MAXX Series 2 and Sophia Series 2 is now part of the System 8. The transition from midrange to treble is significantly more coherent and seamless. Transients are more clearly delineated, without audible overshoot and grain. Bass linearity, impact, and speed increase. The System 8 achieves greater tonal beauty and superior resolution—the same apparent paradox of the MAXX Series 2.
• The tweeter technology first developed for the MAXX Series 2—then incorporated into the Sophia Series 2—is now part of the new WATT/Puppy. High frequency noise and grain are audibly reduced. The MAXX Series 2 has been heralded as a true benchmark by many of the audio world's most distinguished voices. Now the WATT/Puppy takes its place alongside that paragon of musicality. The perception of air and extension, combined with sweetness and listenability, far surpasses any other comparable design on the market.
• In compliance with European Union requirements, the use of strategically placed lead ingots in the WATT cabinet has been discontinued. This regulatory mandate inspired a new combination of X material (prized for its lack of coloration and resonance) and M material (prized for its midrange clarity) in a sophisticated internal bracing configuration. The System 8 sounds more effortless, has greater transient impact, and achieves added tonal beauty and purity as a result.
• Finally, the recessed diffraction pads and the pin-grill system first employed in the Alexandria enhance the physical beauty and finish of the system.

Wilson Audio's best-selling multi-cabinet loudspeaker long ago secured its position as one of high-end audio's enduring icons. Not content with that, however, the WATT/Puppy System 8 demonstrates again its determination to be not only a player, but the standard bearer in its class.
