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

@glennewdick 

The WATTS are 40 years old. They came out in 1984.

If a pac-man machine copulated with a traffic light

Has any person ever bought a pair of these horrors, or are they just decoys meant to make the $500K ones look sensible?

I have heard a predecessor. Absolutely the most incredible experience I have had in high end audio. Unbelievable holographic sound scape. If you have the money and like that kind of sound... simply amazing. 

@ghdprentice I don't doubt it. I would welcome the opportunity to audition them..

What I don't get is why a person would tolerate these things in the beauty (hopefully) of their homes, candy apple paint job and all

In the right room... with the right tastes. A friend of mine just bought a pair of Vivid Audio G3 S2's. Well... a different aesthetic from what I would go for. But he says they sound fantastic.
