Wilson WP 6 vs 7 for home theater


I currently own a pair of WP 3/2's and I'm planning on adding a home theater. My question is would it make more sense to choose a WP6 with a subwoofer or spend more for a WP7 and take advantage of the better bass response.

The W/P 6 is far better for home theater. It's more colorfully accentuated bass rarely needs a sub while the more neutral 7 might seem too natural without one.

The 6's uppermidrange presence also emphasizes dialog, obviating any need for auditory accuracy at any other frequency.

Which precludes your having to actually listen to them before discerning if you've actually heard them.

Not much less could be more fulfilling.

But one can always try.
Hi
I have a set of Wilson 6 with a cub as my center and a Velodyne sub in a big open room with 30ft ceiling and the system sounds very good. But in my HT room I run all top of the line Marantz HT amps DVD and receiver along with a PS Audio 1000 power conditioner and a Marantz long throw Ht over head projector. I have a set of Wilson 3/2 as my fronts and two cub 2 as my center and a set of Wilson cub 2 as my rears. I patched in two Velodyne subs the system is outstanding. Sounds a bit better then my front room system. I think this is do to the room acoustic of the dedicated HT Room. I would go for a sub.
I can't comment on the pros/cons of WP6 v. WP7--I use 5.1s and a REL Stadium 3. However, on a general note, I find that the sub is the most important speaker for HT. It sets the mood and draws you into the movie more than other speakers. This goes for any kind of movie. Sure, clear dialog is important, but IMO the sub does more to allow you to suspend disbelief while watching a movie.
i have 6's and 7's now. whether you have either speaker, you will still need a good sub for movies. Also I havent noticed much difference in the bass between the 6 and 7
