Wilson Watt Puppy 7
Overview
|
Despite its small size, the WATT/Puppy 7 went very deep—down to around the mid-20Hz range in my room. The bass was impressively tuneful and relatively well-controlled, though it had a slightly loose and warm quality right up through to the midbass. The speaker's low-frequency performance had an attractively tactile quality without a hint of bloat, boom, or mechanical resonance. Both acoustic and electric bass were well-served, but some might prefer a more taut tuning that paid more attention to speed and solidity than to extension.
Couple the detailed, slightly crystalline, but not etched top end with the subtle warmth below, and you have a recipe for a speaker that would seem to be more about love than respect, more about pleasure than analytical accuracy. Yet the choices made by Wilson and whoever else worked on the 7's voicing were so masterfully applied that I didn't notice them unless I went looking for them. - Michael Fremer
