propylene capacitors, OFC air-core inductors, and time coherent wire. The components
are matched to better than 0.1% tolerance. The drivers were selected because of their
frequency response linearity, impulse stability, and most important, their intrinsic musi-
cal quality.

The original WATT established the textbook standard for sonically inert
loudspeaker enclosures. It pioneered the use of exotic cabinet materials coupled with
a new benchmark for construction quality, achieving a speaker enclosure that remains
unsurpassed to this day. The System 7 employs the strategic use of a new cabinet mate-
rial that, in conjunction with existing “X” material, serves to reduce cabinet colorations
to levels below that of the already extraordinary System 6. Distortion, noise, and audible
enclosure resonance are all substantially reduced in the System 7. This results in much
greater clarity, resolution and tonal correctness as well as an enhanced sense of effort-
lessness and ease. Dynamics are more clearly defined and delineated. Music flows from
a blacker background. This material has been chosen because it provides a nearly ideal
blend of rigidity, mass, and internal vibration damping.
THE WATT ENCLOSURE MATERIAL SHOULD
BE TREATED AS THOUGH IT WERE CERAMIC!
THE MATERIAL WILL NOT BEND, BUT INSTEAD
WILL CRACK. FOR THIS REASON USERS OF THE
WATT SHOULD NOT TO ATTEMPT DISASSEMBLY OF
THE SYSTEM.
