Audiophiles rejoice! Wilson Audio brings back its legendary WATT/Puppy speakers, renowned for their distinctive design and reference-quality sound. Originally conceived in 1985 by founder David Wilson, these speakers aimed to capture the essence of his custom studio monitors in a more compact form.

The iconic two-tiered design features four drivers housed in separate enclosures. The upper section, known as the WATT, boasts a cutting-edge convergent synergy carbon tweeter and a dedicated 7-inch alnico midrange driver. The lower section, aptly named the Puppy, utilizes dual 8-inch woofers crafted from cellulose composite.

This marks the first significant update for the WATT/Puppy since 2011. While the sonic performance remains a priority, Wilson offers extensive customization options. Personalize your WATT/Puppies with various grille colours and hardware finishes, ensuring a speaker system that complements your listening space.

For the ultimate audiophile experience, consider adding floor spikes. These isolate the speakers from external vibrations, preserving the sonic precision, especially during the deep bass passages of your favourite recordings.
