Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3?

Matt, you've really cheered me up today. Your post has filled me confidence that the one area I felt the Def2s were lacking compared to other top end speakers has been addressed, ie restricted top end extension/transparency and resultant muted dynamic snap.
My new tt is performing really well, but is highlighting softness in the 2s. I know now that the 4s when they arrive will fill in gaps in this part of the spectrum.
Also like Matt, my bank account is pretty much exhausted by this purchase, so experimenting with amps is out for a while. It's good to know this really isn't going to be essential, the 4s being so complete as a package.
Roll on their arrival!

I don`t know you personaaly but based on reading your posts you come off as dogmatic and somewhat childish, as if what you prefer 'has' to be better than someone else`s choice,Come on my friend grow up.

You completely missed the larger point made and the obvious humor in my last post Charlie. Platitudes and a patronizing tude don't equal higher ground, but again, that is one of the internet personas you seem to wear. Come on my friend. Change it up a little.

Germanboxers, what happened dude? More feedback?

A blinded experiment involving ASR, Quad, and other amps feeding IVs has been suggested. The Zu owner involved has a tricked out room and owns the latest generation of Emitter I. That would be worth hearing about....

Agear,
I missed the humor intent (hard to tell when reading threads I`ll admit) I apo;ogize. I don`t intent to patronize, just feel the debate about amp prefernces can get off track and silly after awhile.You may call it a platitude but I simply believe there`s no universal best when it come to audio components, just what one person happens to like vs other options(simple but true) exactly why so 'many' brands/choices exist in the first place. I`ll end it at that.
charles,

Spirit,
When I went from a tube pre to my current First Watt B1 buffer/pre, I experienced better transparency and more transient snap with my Def 1.9s. This almost hurt my feelings as I was running a Rogue Athena pre which is no slouch and not known for any tube softness. At any rate, the First Watt was an improvement but it is very utilitarian looking and only has 2 sets of inputs. Now I feel I'm just getting the flavor of the KT120 output tubes on my Rogue monos which to these ears sounds magnificent. If you like your Radia, you might try a buffer or passive. The First Watt is relatively cheap.

Matt

1Daddy,

I must say that you have done that to me in this thread and now you do it again. We are not your little boys that you can spank when you feel like it. Writing that members here have to grow up/mature and meet your full manhood stature is condescending.

You have a lot to add on there forums but this daddy paddling the little boy is not one of them.

You can have the last word Dad.
