Here's a review of the Watt Puppy 7:

Wilson Audio started out as studio monitors, according to my brother-in-law.

He has the Watt Puppy 6 and they are beautiful in appearance and in sound.

They use a 'Transparent' brand interconnect between the main speaker (watt) section and the tweeter (puppy) called a 'puppy tail'

The speakers are clear as a bell and the bass is very tight and quite deep. The watt puppy 6 has two or three 8 inch woofers....can't remember for sure....

Of course, you gotta buy badass monoblock amps for 'em.
I personally wouldn't recommend Wilsons for a mixing situation.

I have seen them at a mastering studio though here in town which does alot of jazz and classical.

They have a sound of their own that works better for some genres of music and less for others.

I like the ATC suggestion(although a pricey one).
