Wilson Audio Klones?

[RobP]

I came across a web article about the Jericho project where this person had built a pair of Wilson Audio Watt Puppy Clones, I think that this is something that I would like to try. Has anyone here ever heard any of these "clone" projects? I have seen many sites dedicated to bulding them but the builders never say how they sound? Any thoughts?

No, we've never heard of kloning anyone's design ...:wink:

For the most part, they sound fairly similar to the original Watt-Puppy models... so, you ought to be a little familiar with those, or the current ones. There's a lot more options for doing those these days, higher performance drivers, but to keep the same cabinets and crossovers, stick to the original design. Also, you may find it hard to get the Focal tweeters- they've stopped supplying the DIY business, though some distributors like Madisound, Solen, and Zalytron may still have some in stock.

I found the Tweeters, you mention that there are better mid and bass drivers, what would those be?

Thanks
