Upgrade path from Wilson WattPuppy 7s? - seeking advice

Hmm. Haven't followed the thread very closely but as to the OP's question I'd definitely consider the Wilson Yvette. I do own a pair and find them imminently satisfying. From the fit/finish to imminently musical sonics it's a long haul speaker with much pride of ownership. Admittedly without knowledge I just can't consider Paradigm in the same vein. Just a bias I understand. It's a Chevy vs BMW optic that's hard to overcome.
I also think that the Revel Salon 2 will compare favorably to virtually anything within reason and at 12k used an unmitigated steal. 
FWIW

@audiotroy 1,500 words of rambling self justification including references to North Korea! Do you not have anything better to do with your time?

Folkreak I dont like being attacked and no one here should have to.

What is apparent to me is the snobbery present by many members.

I wounder if Sandy Gross built a $50k speaker and it sounded dramatically better than an $200k set of speakers would his creation get the same flak?

I have owned many speakers, amps & preamps and I would easily swap out when I found something better.

Look at 4425 comments instead of saying wow those are cool do you know where I could hear them?

We get I just can’t consider Paradigm in the same vein. Just a bias I understand. It’s a Chevy vs BMW optic that’s hard to overcome.

To which i would reply who cares who made them if they sound better than x y or z brand that should suffice.

This is not a cult it is about a passion for music and that should be all it is about.

Tools is tools if you find a better one you buy it.

Dave, I know you are a good guy, because Matt vouches for you.  That's all I need.  Will I come in to meet you in person? Someday. I have to as we haven't seen eye to eye on some things and Id' rather do that in person than on a faceless forum.  

I have never liked Paradigm's high end.  Every.  My daughter has a pair I used to own.  She sings (even made the cut at Idol and The Voice when she was 16) and even she says they are too bright.  It's the top end and no matter what amps I've heard them with, they were just too bright for me.  Again, that's just me and it's one of the biggest things I don't like about gear.  I'm sensitive to it.  I didn't like the metal wilsons, but enjoy listening to the soft dome ones.  I just don't feel they have the detail I get from other speakers.  Still a nice speaker and highly dynamic.  B&W diamonds are too bright for me also.  Way too upfront.  Sonus F are too soft for me now days.  I liked their older ones better.  The newest Magico's S3 newest mark ?? were a bit dry. Highly dynamic and not coherent in the mid bass region down.  It didn't mate well for MY ears with the mids on up.  It was a strange listening session for me and Peter McKay was the one who set them up in a great sounding room.  

There are my reasons as to why I love my Vandersteen's.  I'm in no way associated with them.  Do I know the folks there?  Yes, I do know them.  I also know folks at a lot of places as over the years you meet people.  Heck, my ex was Mark Levinson's attorney when we were married back in the 90's, lol. ...The man, not Madrigal.  

Sounds like the OP love the Wilson sound and if so, that's awesome, but he should (if he can) go listen to all the speaker lines and include Rockport if possible.  Then he can figure out what he wants and loves.  JMHO.  

Troy:
gee. The fact that you cannot stop talking or producing words in print--often way off point--- was your problem as a salesperson (which made you intolerable to me and others). My only point to you has ever and will always be to stop hard selling. I am not a defender of Wilson, Magnepan, B&W, Focal, Reference 3a, Marten, Quad or any other speaker brand that I’ve heard, owned or liked. I completely understand why anyone would prefer one speaker brand over another. This hobby is extremely subjective. 
  I just cannot tolerate your constant hard salesmanship usually with outrageous, over the top unbelievable comparisons. You've done it for countless components you sell--it now just happens to be Personas. Your style is offensive to more than a few Goners who have extensive experience in audio and don't need any salesman to tell them that they have the most and best experience and have reached the indisputable conclusion that they sell the best speaker ever made at a great price if only someone would come to have a listen. I will continue to remind you that I welcome Atmasphere, Kevin Deal, Jonathan Carr, fellas from DCS, BelCanto and countless other manufacturers and dealers who add great knowledge to our site without EVER selling their gear here.You continue to be the only one. But this site does not prevent salesmanship. You are allowed to speak endlessly.  Keep it up. If the moderator doesn’t stop you, I will call you out whenever you produce thousands of words to waste everyone’s time including mine with rank salesmanship. 
PS-You sell some fine gear. The manufacturers you represent are not the problem--you are.
