To say only Wilson owners are sensitive to the differences between models is interesting as OF COURSE somebody who owns a speaker is much more aware of how it sounds, and thus might notice when the design changes. I'm not interested in owning Wilsons since I like what I have (and I'm super wealthy at least relative to somebody with no money at all), but man...after reading a zillion (yes, a zillion) reviews and comments from owners over decades, as well as beautiful tributes to Dave Wilson, I think, yeah, cool speakers with "automotive level finishes" instead of maybe interesting wood, but I digress...I remember hearing the original WATT the first time...a pair was loaned to a "designer showhouse" (interior designers take over someplace to show off their chops) in an amazing Park Avenue townhouse, and the designers of that room just stuck them on the floor because they thought they looked cool or something...at least they were hooked up to an amp...they were playing piano music and from several rooms away I thought there was an actual nice piano around...found the room with the WATTs, and thought man...amazing sound.
