WATT Puppy 6's are being discontinued...


Just verified a rumor, the WP6 will be retired and Wilson is introducing the WP7. Good news for A'gon buyers, soon the WP 6's sellers will start flooding the site at cut throat pricing. The WP7 is supposedly a completely new design from the ground up. New materials, new drivers new everything. Price will be around 24K and will debut at the NY Stereophile show in June.

I heard the Sophia was a little too good compared to the w/p 6. It won't be long before the w/p is up to $30k though. They used to be $10k way back on the first series. The pricing just kind of annoys me. Even if I had the money I don't know if I'd pay full price for'em. There's just not enough in parts knowing what the raw drivers cost to justify 'em. And if I was dying to spend that much money: I could buy even better drivers and build something better.
I am probably a little messed up, I know. I was just reading an article over on VMPS audio's webpage called "money in the high end" and they were discussing how some manufacturer's decision about whether or not to sell a speaker for $60,000 or $100,000 is just a matter of "arbitrary" choice, whatever mood the designer is in. Sometimes they just decide $100k looks nicer and commands more respect and the price tag of the speaker becomes a selling point too: so they sell the speaker for more. I'm not emotional about it, but its just like aaaah what's 40k difference.
