A rare listening experience
When I sat down to listen to the WATT/Puppy, I realised I was in for a treat. Even though Manuel Dias chose a spectacular custom yellowish-mustard colour (you can have them any colour you want for a fee), the speakers had an extraordinary ability to vanish from the room, leaving me alone with the music. The soundstage was expansive, with precise imaging: the instruments and voices were placed precisely where they should be.
What impressed me the most was the speaker's dynamic range. It effortlessly handled everything, from the subtlest vibration of piano strings to a full orchestra's thunderous roar.
The bass response was particularly outstanding. While WATT/Puppy has always been known for its tight, controlled bass, the 2024 model goes one step further, or, shall I say, lower. The dual 8-inch woofers deliver deep, agile bass with a sense of impact that never overshadows the rest of the frequency spectrum. Whether you are listening to classical music, jazz or rock, the WATT/Puppy always delivers a balanced and cohesive performance.
