wilson watt puppy 7 question:


Hi,

I was wondering how many puppy spacers people use with their wilson watt puppy 7's. I am using the maximum two puppy spacers because I have hardwood floors. Does anyone use no puppy spacers with the puppy paws (as recommended by Wilson?).

Cytocycle,

I do have the manual and was wondering is that someone who is never done before can do easily (remove the watt from the puppy)?

cytocyle,

I looked at the manual and noticed that for my listening position of 10 feet away at ear height of 38 inches with two spacers it corresponds in table 5 of the manual to the number 4. I believe that its a rating from 1-4 based on spacers, ear height, and distance. It was interesting that at ear height of 38 inches with a listening position 10 feet away, the number 4 was the rating for the table whether one had o spacers, 1, or two spacers.

I am hesitant to pull out the watt to see the distance guide and examine whether the rear watt spike is the right one only to find out it was.

Mike,

Thanks for your input. Back when I first got the puppy's I had one spacer not two in and it was too boomy. However since then I have put absorption panels on the ceiling as well as wall behind speakers in addition to thick floor rugs. So now I began to wonder if I should try going back to one spacer. I think it will still be too boomy but just was curious as to whether most people end up happier with none, one, or two. You are very right its room and equipment sensitive.

p.s. I am too chicken to change the spacers on the puppy's with the wife and was hoping people would say don't bother. The store installed the speakers and adjusted the spacers originally
cytocycle,

one other question....is it easy with the help of another person to simply lift the speaker and remove one of the two puppy spacers?

If its nothing more than tilt the speaker and unscrew it and take it off I can experiment easily and painlessly. I don't want to have to take off the whole puppy paw and reinsert...that is much more of a bother
