The Wilson Audio Watt Puppy 6 is a renowned loudspeaker system combining the WATT minimonitor and the Puppy bass cabinet. It features a 1-inch inverted titanium dome tweeter, a 7-inch coated pulp cone midrange driver, and two 8-inch polypropylene cone woofers. The system is designed with advanced materials such as mineral-filled acrylic for the WATT cabinet and M-Material and X-Material for the Puppy enclosure, which reduce resonance and improve sound clarity. The Series 6 introduced 'wings' on top of the Puppy for better visual integration and rear time-alignment spikes to optimize driver timing. The crossover is a first-order design, and the system is capable of delivering a frequency response from 21 Hz to 21 kHz with a sensitivity of 92-93 dB and a nominal impedance of 4 ohms. It weighs approximately 170 lbs per channel and measures about 40 inches high, 12.25 inches wide, and 18.5 inches deep. The Watt Puppy 6 is praised for its musicality, low distortion, and ability to work well with amplifiers as low as 7 watts per channel, making it suitable for a wide range of high-end audio setups. It was originally released around 1999-2000 and is no longer in production, but remains highly regarded and sought after in the audiophile community.
