About the new Wilson Audio Watt/Puppy 8

I agree; there is no way the Zu Definition are in the same league as the Wilson Alexandria. I was merely pointing out that an owner of the Alexandria felt they were. I am not attempting to slam Dave or any of his products; I was a very happy owner of them for years. The Wilson product is excellent. You will never meet a man with more character and class than Dave Wilson. My point is there is other contenders that compete very easily, (the Definitions being one) at a fraction of the cost. In a very big room with good electronics, I'd buy the Alexandria's if cost weren't an issue. The better comparison for the Definitions is the Watt/Puppy 7. I haven't heard the 8's so I can't comment, but I think the masses would be very surprised at how good this speaker sounds for only $9K or $10k plus another amp for the Pro version. I just want everyone to be aware of a product that could save them lots of money, but not enjoyment. Also, with a no-risk 60-day return policy, why not rule them out before you spend an additional $20k for the Watt/Puppy 8's. In the end, I don't care what others decide to buy. I am a very satisfied customer of the Zu's and a former satisfied Wilson owner. I am glad I could pocket some change but still have killer sound.

"We both agreed my Definition Pro setup smoked them."

How about your speakers against mine in my system. I would be happy to welcome the challenge. This is not to disparage the Zu but to use the standard preppie adjective of "smoked them" always gives me pause to laugh

If I were to offer up any suggestion as an alternative and less money speaker as an alternative to the WP 8 I would seriously consider the Alon Mini

sorry I meant the Magico Mini by Alon Wolf...now that is a speaker!!

You know, there is always someone who dumps their [whatever] for the latest [whatever]. Always. It means nothing.

And another thing: In my experience with high end components, few if any excellent components ever really "smoke" other excellent components, nor do they embarass them, stomp all over them, or anything else of the sort. But that's just me.

Well said. Sometimes a laugh; other times a flash of anger, particularly if I own the smokee. (or is that "smok ed")
