Watt Puppy 8 vs. Zu Definition

There is quite a heated debate here on both of these loudspeakers. While I much prefer the build quality and appearance of the Wilson's, I want to comments on the absolute sound quality between the two. Please comment only if you have actually heard both of these speakers and tell me which one you think ultimately sounds more musical.

I heard the 8s at HE2006 this month. They sounded good but didn't really disappear. For some reason Wilson didn't acoutically treat the room except for behind the speakers. The Sophia IIs in the Brooks Berdan room were, in my opinion, much better and probably the sweet spot in the Wilson line. I didn't hear the big Zu at the show but did listen to the Druids which were very impressive.

Regards,

Wendell

Undertow: 'gonna be some heat on this one..." Further the fire if I may, if AW will exceuse my impoliteness.
Wilson versus Zu versus Tyler. But like THsaman points out the Wilson's are not out, but at least the older version can be used, and the Zu's have very limited distributorship, though we do have owners opinions to go by.
Man this should get interesting.

Tvad, to me, musical is simply a way to describe a listening experience during which you get goosebumps and then want to get up and run around dancing in your listening room.
