Wilson Maxx 1 compared to Puppy 6

To all,

I realy like the Krell / Wilson aound and I am very happy with the Puppy 6. However I listened to the Maxx once in a good setup and the dynamics of the Maxx are unbelievable. Also it is very fast and musical.

So now I have a change to upgrade to Maxx 1 for a relative cheap price. How will it fit in my room. The listening corner of my room is 4x5.5m (13x18 foot). Then my room has an L shape wich is 9.3m x 3m (30x10 foot).

How will the Maxx fit in. Will I have bass problems. Some people told me that because of the lower port frequency of the Maxx the bass problems would be less. I had bass problems with the Puppy 5.1 in my previous house but with the Puppy 6 it was gone. The bass sounded more musical.

How does the Maxx compare to the Puppy 7. Will the mids of the Puppy be equal to the Maxx. Here in Europe a second hand Maxx costs less than a second hand Puppy 7.

Hi Peter

As I told you by e-mail, my advice if you are going to upgrade is to go with the WP7 and not a Maxx l (unless you commit to doing a series ll upgrade. The WP7 bests a Maxx l but the Maxx ll is a superb speaker with much of the X-2 technology. It is because of this that Wilson Audio discontinued production of the X-1 as the Maxx ll at half the price is just a better speaker.
