WATT/Puppy’s compellingly authentic performance and lasting value are achieved through careful implementation of cutting edge design and engineering and then executed using the highest performance materials. Wilson Audio’s use of proprietary enclosure materials and adhesives are employed to achieve truly exceptional speaker cabinet performance. The use of these materials in System 8 results in an enclosure that is inherently inert and non-resonant. All of these structural aspects are combined, allowing Wilson Audio to deliver a product that maintains the strictest structural tolerances, durability, and reliability. This also means that the WATT/Puppys will have consistent, repeatable performance, unaffected by the climatic conditions, anywhere in the world. Finally, like all Wilson products, System 8 is hand-crafted with meticulous attention to detail, with an unwavering commitment to excellence. Thus, WATT/Puppy System 8 will impart to her owner beauty and pleasure for many years to come.
