Wilson Watt/Puppy 6
Wilson Audio has long been a favorite for some audiophiles. Seen here is their all new Watt/Puppy 6 ($18,900). With a very high sensitivity of 92 db/w/m, Wilson recommends amplifiers from only seven watts on up! Measuring in at 40" high, the new 6 is higher than the 5. Alas, Watt/Puppy 5 and 5.1 owners have no upgrade path here at this time. The new 6 uses special spikes on the top mid/tweeter section to better time align them to the woofers per the listener's seating position. The 6's use two 8" woofers, one 7" midrange and a 1" inverted-dome tweeter. Frequency response is claimed as from 21 Hz - 21 kHz. The large monoblock amplifiers in the center are the new Wadia 790 PowerDAC (no pricing yet). This is a "revolutionary digital and analogue technology". Basically Wadia is claiming this new technology "is a digital-to-analog converter with variable power to optimally drive even the most demanding loudspeakers." It seems they are using some type of enhancement to the usual all digital "Class D" amplification that has been available for years now. |
