The $27,900 disappointment? Wilson Audio Watt Puppy 8 issues.

@vthokie83 

To clarify- you sent the schematic in- Did you not send the speakers in?

That is correct, I did NOT send the speakers in. I emailed the original schematic to them, along with measurements where the finished crossovers could be installed. We agreed on my component choices.

GR-Research built the crossover on HDF, and I mounted and wired it to the rest of the speaker. It's not terribly difficult as the Kappa 7s are 3 way speakers.

@vthokie83 ,

Did you find the price of Danny's services to be reasonable?

Ok I wanted to clarify that before this question: @vthokie83 

Everyone is focusing on the frequency response, Danny suggests it should be flat, and many responders suggesting it is not that important, yet in this case it is not measured before or after. 

Did this conversation come up regarding frequency response, and changing parameters to adjust for different slopes and adjusting the frequency response, assuming GR has past knowledge of these speakers, or were the same values used? 

thecarpathian and mclinnguy

thecarpathian - I thought the prices were very fair, $800ish for complete crossovers with air core inductors, high quality resistors, and high end caps (some were Solen I recall), and labor. Sorry I can't find the build sheet off hand to check brands and exact price.

mclinnguy - You are correct. I had no interest in modifying with measurements and changing in that way......I'm guessing that would be helpful. I simply wanted the exact same crossover built with high end components. These speakers mean a lot to me as they were my first audiophile speakers, but in today's world are not worth a lot; maybe $1,500 or more with the improvements I've made. I've had the woofer foams replaced, the mids redone, and the emit tweeter tested......and put in some more acoustic material.

I guess I could have done it myself. However I wanted to try Danny's services, I thought the price was fair, and I simply did not have time at that point to do it myself.
