Thanks Todd . My room is 4.2m wide 2.4 high and 9m long going off at one side to a kitchen. Thanks for the video I will get a listen to that soon.Hello Bludognz,
The WP5 is quite prodigious in the bass. I am not sure how much time you have spent working on listening position and speaker position but getting these to sound their best will likely take quite a bit of work. Wilson has their own setup method. There are some pretty good walk through articles online. Here is a link to one of them.

How big is your room?

Unfortunately mine didn't come with the original puppy paws. I'm going to make some as I'm a fitter welder. I just need they dimensions and a photo im still hunting loli owned WP 5.1's back in the day (1998-1999). previously i owned WP3/2's.
as i recall they were sensitive to (1) distance from the walls, and also (2) height from the floor. even a half inch one way or another seemed to matter. i experimented with footers and longer spikes and was able to tune the boomyness out in my small (12' x 18' x 10.5') room.
to experiment cut some plywood squares and stack them below the speaker to see what height is ideal for bass smoothness, then either buy longer spikes or some sort of footer to reach that height.
a year later i moved on to WP 6.0's which had less tendency to be boomy in the same way.
