Inspired by the legacy of the original WATT/Puppy, the development of this new design began with a clear vision: to create a version that honors its original designer while incorporating the advanced technologies and innovations Wilson Audio has refined over the past 50 years. The goal was simple—to build a WATT/Puppy that Dave Wilson would have created if he had access to the resources that Wilson Audio now possesses, elevating the iconic design to new heights of performance and excellence.
A History of Audio Excellence

1974
The Beginning
David Wilson founded Wilson Audio in Provo, Utah, driven by a vision to design high-performance speakers that could authentically recreate the experience of live music. With a background in speaker repair and a deep passion for audio, Wilson set out to build speakers that were not just about high fidelity, but about capturing the emotional essence of a performance. His early designs reflected this dedication to excellence, laying the foundation for what would become a revolutionary brand in the world of audiophile equipment.

1986
First Product
In 1986, Wilson Audio introduced the WATT, a compact, high-performance loudspeaker that was groundbreaking in both its size and capabilities. The WATT was engineered to deliver full-range sound despite its small form factor, marking a significant leap in speaker design. This speaker became an instant success, combining technical sophistication with a more accessible size for audiophiles who wanted world-class sound in smaller spaces. The WATT's release thrust Wilson Audio into the spotlight, establishing the company as a key player in the high-end audio industry.

1989
The Original WATT/Puppy
The release of the WATT/Puppy system in 1989 marked one of the most important moments in Wilson Audio’s history. The WATT/Puppy was an innovative combination of the WATT monitor speaker and the separate bass unit, known as the Puppy, which allowed for more precise low-end performance. This modular system, which separated the bass and midrange/tweeter elements, became a game-changer in the industry, and its influence can still be seen in modern speaker design today. The WATT/Puppy system garnered critical acclaim and became one of the most successful and influential designs in HiFi history, cementing Wilson Audio’s reputation for precision and innovation.

2001
Introducing Sophia
In 2001, Wilson Audio launched the Sophia loudspeakers, introducing a more accessible price point for audiophiles who sought the company’s legendary sound quality without the premium price tag. The Sophia loudspeakers maintained Wilson Audio’s commitment to performance and design excellence while broadening the brand's reach. The speakers were praised for their clarity, detail, and ability to reveal subtle nuances in music, making them an ideal choice for both new and experienced listeners. The release of the Sophia expanded Wilson Audio's customer base, helping the company solidify its position as a leader in the luxury audio market.

2017
A World Debut
The Alexx speaker, introduced in 2017, was a revolutionary addition to Wilson Audio’s lineup. With its innovative design and advanced technology, the Alexx set a new standard in high-end audio. The speaker’s design was meticulously engineered to achieve a balance between aesthetic elegance and acoustic performance, incorporating new materials and technologies to enhance sound quality. The Alexx’s debut at Definitive was a momentous event, showcasing Wilson’s ability to push the boundaries of what was possible in speaker design. The introduction of the Alexx reinforced Wilson Audio’s status as a luxury audio brand that led the industry in both sound quality and technological innovation.

2019
Extraordinary Sound
In 2019, Wilson Audio launched the Chronosonic XVX, a speaker that was a true leap forward in both technology and sound reproduction. Introduced in 2016, the Chronosonic XVX was engineered to deliver unparalleled accuracy and transparency, pushing the boundaries of high-fidelity sound reproduction. Designed to capture music with unprecedented precision, the XVX set new standards for what high-end speakers could achieve. It was a bold statement of Wilson Audio’s dedication to perfection, combining cutting-edge materials with innovative design to deliver a speaker that could reproduce music as if the listener were in the presence of the original performance. The Chronosonic XVX became a reference point for audiophiles and high-end audio enthusiasts around the world.
