The Story

The original WATT/Puppy was born in the late 1980s when David Wilson needed a portable near-field monitor for his recording sessions. That monitor became the WATT (Wilson Audio Tiny Tot), and when paired with the Puppy bass module, it became one of the most iconic and commercially successful high-end loudspeakers ever made — evolving through eight generations over 25 years.

Now, more than a decade after the Series 8's retirement, Wilson has reborn the WATT/Puppy with every current technology in the company's arsenal.

The drivers are the same ones found in the Sasha V: the CSC tweeter from the Alexx V, the QuadraMag midrange from the Chronosonic XVX, and twin 8-inch woofers. The cabinet is constructed from X-Material with S-Material midrange coupling and V-Material isolation throughout.

The result is a speaker that honors the original's compact, two-box heritage while delivering performance that the original Series 1 could never have imagined. At $38,500, it bridges the gap between the Sabrina V and Sasha V — and it carries a name that resonates with audiophiles like few others in the industry.

Key Technologies

Sasha V DNA

The same complete driver complement as the Sasha V — CSC tweeter, QuadraMag midrange, and twin 8" woofers — in a more compact two-box form.

Iconic Two-Box Design

The WATT upper module and Puppy bass section maintain the instantly recognizable silhouette, now with modern spike track hardware and V-Material isolation.

Time-Domain Precision

An adjustable rear spike on the WATT enables the most precise time-alignment of any WATT/Puppy to date, with an integrated bubble level for easy setup.

V-Material Isolation

The WATT rests on spike track hardware installed directly into V-Material on top of the Puppy, dramatically reducing vibration transfer between modules.

Modern Crossover

In-house Reliable Capacitors and AudioCapX-WA technology with point-to-point wiring — no printed circuit boards.

50th Anniversary Heritage

Released to celebrate Wilson Audio's 50th anniversary, the WATT/Puppy is the speaker Dave Wilson would have built with today's materials and technology.
