Watt/Puppy improvements


I have had Wilson Audio Watt/Puppy 5.1 speakers since the early 90's. They are not upgradeable to the current version, but I would like to improve the sound (primarily the bass but I'm open to all suggestions) without spending $20 grand to get Version 7.

Obviously I can add a couple of subwoofers (if so, which would you suggest: Vandersteen, Entec, Wilson? crossovers?), but I wonder if there are there are modifications to the basic speakers themselves that I should consider? Arthur Salvatore talks about replacing the drivers but has not yet posted specifics.

Have any of you added subwoofers or changed the drivers of the Watts or the Puppies or changed the speaker posts or the Puppy Tails? What about the grills or spikes? Any alternatives? I've seen posts about sandboxes, etc.

I would appreciate whatever advice the members have to improve these speakers.

One thing you might think about are either the Marigo tuning dots and or Harmonix tuning dots. I remember reading an article some time ago about the use of these tuning dots on both the drivers and around the binding posts.

I remember this well, because I was surprised that a Wilson product would respond so well to a anti-vibration "tweak". Hope this helps,
