Wilson Audio's WATT/Puppy is an iconic speaker, but the pairing of the WATT (Wilson Audio Tiny Tot) monitor-like headpiece and the Puppy subwoofer pedestal is getting a updated to a new design and (thankfully) a less saccharine-laced "Sasha W/P" name to go with it. Pretty much everything is getting updated -- the enclosures, drivers and crossovers all benefit from lessons learned on some of Wilson Audio's other models, and the higher performance Sasha W/P is even going to come at lower price than the outgoing $28,000 per pair WATT/Puppy. Don't get your hopes up, though -- in case you didn't get the hint from the pic above, the Sasha W/P isn't exactly breaking into new pricing territory for Wilson Audio, and we don't think the $26,900 price is going to open a floodgate of prospective buyers who just couldn't swing the extra $1,100 for the outgoing model.

But they are ugly!!!
Good thing you will never be able to afford them...
I actually had to stare at that picture for more than 15 seconds to figure out what the speakers were.
Pfff, I got my tax return baby, I could get two.
These make good sound in the shower in case anybody is looking for a way to listen to music while showering. Unfortunately they only sound good when actually IN the shower, so you will have to buy a new pair every day. But with the new cheaper price that shouldn't be much of a problem.
Just what I've always needed! A pair of $26,900 portable trash compactors!
they look like 50s/60s sci-fi movie robots. or trash cans. either way..
what the article fails to mention is that the picture is of George Lucas's bedroom suite.
See, with Wilson Audio you get such a different experience then any other speakers on the market.
I own Wilson's MAXX speakers, and they rock my world every time I listen to them. I'll put in a CD that I've had for years, and I'll hear totally different things.
It's worth every cent, but if you want can't spend that much, then you can get Magnepan speakers, and get comparable sound quality.
Not true.. the experience you are having is called: I-spent-way-to-much-money-for-this-thing and-I-must-pretend-that-I-am-really-hearing-something-special-from-these-speaker-or-else I'll-think-I-was-an-idiot-for-spending-so-much-money-ism.
Pooh pooh these speakers...aesthetics, price... all you like but there's not a soul posting here who wouldn't love to own a pair.
