I bought my used WP6 for 5k ... put on new baffle foam and done!!!! Still the best speakers I've ever owned. So you definitely can get into a pair without breaking the bank. I listened to the more current DAWs and the like... not REALLY that much better... clearly same DNA. :)
That's awesome Xenia. We've had a number of customers replace drivers on their older Watt Puppies, and as you, they got their feet into a great pair of speakers for a fraction of the cost. Great Job, thanks for sharing.
I just discovered that pulling my chair up closer to my speakers was a big improvement. Can you tell me the dimensions of your "listening triangle"? I hope to purchase these one day. I also remember the first time I heard these. Decades ago. Whoa!
The speakers are 88 inches apart, and 83 inches to the chair. From the side wall 29 inches, and approx 5 feet from the front wall. In this case it almost follows the rule of an isosceles triangle, but in other rooms in our showroom, we have a more nearfield setup. Now those numbers are right for this room. The room has solid wood floors, a vaulted ceiling that shoots upward over the left speaker. In this case the other rule of speakers placed about 1/5 length of room from front wall seems to work. But every room is going to be different. Hope that helps. Art Audible Images
