Inspired by the original WATT\/Puppy's legacy, the development of this instantly recognizable design began with a hopeful vision: to create a WATT\/Puppy that would honor the original designer by utilizing current technologies and innovations refined for more than 50 years. Simply put, to build a WATT\/Puppy that Dave Wilson would have built if he had the resources then that Wilson Audio now possesses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eMaterial DNA\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe original WATT\/Puppy underwent a total of eight evolutions from 1986-2011. These eight iterations utilized a variety of materials, each strategically integrated and available during their respective development periods. Each evolution of material usage pushed the boundaries of what was achievable in loudspeaker capabilities at the time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eIn the early years, Puppy enclosures employed a laminated 60-lbs version of High-Density Fiberboard (HDF), while the WATT incorporated Polymethyl Methacrylate (PMMA).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThirteen years after the retirement of Series 8, The WATT\/Puppy now is constructed with the most refined versions of X-Material for the internal bracing and external enclosure, S-Material for midrange coupling to the front WATT baffle, and V-Material for the top of the Puppy, serving as the vibration-sink interface for the WATT.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eEach of these unique materials is meticulously chosen for its specific performance characteristics, whether in the realms of vibration control or sound reproduction. This commitment to material excellence is one of many elements that ensures The WATT\/Puppy delivers the best audio quality possible for this relatively compact design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eGet a Grip\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe rod handle on the rear of the original WATT was initially designed in 1985 as a practical way for David Wilson, founder of Wilson Audio and a recording engineer at the time, to transport his custom-made studio monitors to recording sessions. This functional and robust handle has since evolved for The WATT\/Puppy. The current design is stylized for a secure and comfortable grasp at any angle. Similar to the original WATT handle, the new handle effortlessly supports the weight of the WATT during transportation and installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eAudioCap Copper Capacitors\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eWilson Audio's proprietary AudioCapX-WA capacitors are uniquely wound in-house by our Reliable Capacitors (RelCap) department to meet extraordinarily tight tolerances. This process enhances low-level resolution, revealing the subtle nuances of sound reproduction with remarkable clarity and depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eElevating our commitment to sonic purity, we have developed a new copper version of the AudioCapX-WA capacitor, a similar design initially unveiled with the esteemed Sasha V series. This iteration has been further refined with copper end-spray and gold leads, ensuring that high-frequency micro-details are rendered with exquisite resolution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eCSC Tweeter\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eWhen Wilson Audio introduced its cutting-edge and complex carbon fiber rear-wave chamber technology in the Convergent Synergy Carbon (CSC) tweeter it allowed for smooth and linear high-frequency extension. Superior harmonic detail emerged from the soundstage and the overall result is a significant improvement in sound quality and ease of listening.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eOriginally developed for the Alexx V, the CSC tweeter is also integrated into the Alexia V and Sasha V systems. This delightful coated textile dome tweeter naturally and seamlessly blends with the AlNiCo midrange and dual woofers it is paired with.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eAlNiCo QuadraMag\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eWilson Audio has integrated its beloved 7-inch AlNiCo (Aluminum - Nickel - Cobalt) QuadraMag midrange driver developed and used in the Chronosonic XVX, Alexx V, Alexia V, and the Sasha V. This refined technology produces a tonally rich and exquisite sound in the audio band that the human ear is most sensitive to, resulting in a truly engaging listening experience. The AlNiCo QuadraMag driver is renowned for its exceptional ability to settle and maintain linearity resulting in greater depth and dimensionality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe WATT baffle is composed of a unique blend of materials that create a highly stable and low-resonance coupling surface for the midrange driver; the effect enhances the sonic beauty and bloom of the QuadraMag.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eTwin 8\" Woofers\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eWhen asked what drivers are included in The WATT\/Puppy, the simple answer is, “The same drivers found in the Sasha V.” This includes the same nimble and articulate 8” formed homogenous cellulose composite woofers. These woofers have been designed to deliver an agile low-frequency response, ensuring an audio experience that is both impactful and precise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eAdjustable Rear Spike \u0026amp; Bubble Level\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eFound on the rear of the WATT is an adjustable spike which allows for the most precise alignment in the time domain found in any version of the WATT\/Puppy platform. Additionally, the WATT module rests on proud sitting spike track hardware, directly installed into the V-Material top plate, greatly reducing vibrations from the woofer cabinet to the WATT enclosure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eAn integrated bubble level on the top of the Puppy ensures effortless leveling during the installation process.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eCapacitors\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eFive decades ago it was common for loudspeaker designers to use capacitors with simple, single-wound construction. To be fair, options at the time were limited. While some loudspeakers available in the market now are still currently using these elementary versions as their capacitor of choice, Wilson Audio continues to redefine what is possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe multi-section RelCaps found in all Wilson Audio loudspeakers are crafted at Wilson Audio using custom state-of-the-art machines and hand-finished. This proprietary process produces some of the most accurate, complex, consistent, and sonically superior capacitors available.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe WATT\/Puppy Technical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eDrivers\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eWoofers\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eTwo—8 inches (20.32 cm)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eMidrange\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eOne—7 inches (17.78 cm)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eTweeter\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eOne—1 inch (2.54 cm)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eEnclosures \u0026amp; Materials\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eEnclosure Type Woofer\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eRear Ported\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eEnclosure Type Midrange\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eRear Vented\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eEnclosure Type Tweeter\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eSealed\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eMeasurements\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eSensitivity\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e89 dB @ 1 Watt @ 1 Meter @ 1 kHz\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eNominal Impedance\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e4 ohms \/ minimum 2.87 ohms @ 86 Hz\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eMinimum Amplifier Power\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e25 Watts per channel\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eFrequency Response\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e26 Hz – 30 kHz +\/- 3 dB Room Average Response [RAR]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eDimensions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eHeight\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e41 11\/32 inches (105 cm) w\/o spikes\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eWidth\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e12 inches (30.48 cm)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eDepth\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e18 11\/16 inches (47.44 cm)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eSystem Weight Per Channel (uncrated)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e160 lbs each (72.57 kg)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eSystem Shipping Weight (approx.)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e520 lbs pair (235.87 kg)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/footer\u003e\u003cfooter class=\"blockquote-footer text-light text-right px-2\"\u003e\u003c\/footer\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Wilson Audio","offers":[{"title":"Standard Colours","offer_id":53983288262972,"sku":null,"price":72995.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Upgrade Colours","offer_id":53983288295740,"sku":null,"price":76995.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Premium \u0026 Custom Colours","offer_id":53983288328508,"sku":null,"price":79995.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Premium Pearl Colours","offer_id":53983288361276,"sku":null,"price":83995.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0035\/5119\/9345\/files\/Untitleddesign_b8ebca76-a3db-4c18-9fc9-77945b6ab6d3.webp?v=1786584037","url":"https:\/\/tivolihifi.com.au\/products\/wilson-audio-the-watt-puppy-floorstanding-speakers","provider":"Tivoli Hi-Fi","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
