Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3?

I am with Gopher on this one. . . shiny, gloss, piano black. Somehow when paired with the aluminum trim, it seems elegant rather than "common."

A question for the Def 2 owners who moved to Def 3/4--did you guys notice a change in performance for low level listening for the better with the newer speakers?

I love these Def 2s, but I feel they like a little volume to really fill out. I'll be getting the nanotech drivers later this month and 'm curious if thats another likely improvement. Speakers are on the opposite wall of the master bedroom and my wife is usually in bed by 10, while I like to stay up and listen late into the night...

Hi Gopher, actually one of the big selling points of the Def2s when I bought them in 2007 was their coherence at low levels. This I believe is a big function of the high sensitivity and lack of crossover so less energy sucked out of the presentation.
In a major way this was a pivotal reason to buy them, to be able to enjoy my music more intimately between 10pm and midnight.
It's a shame if you haven't had this in your experience.
Phil, can you inform us about low level listening, thank you.

Gopher,

As I wrote in a much earlier post, compared to Def1.5, Def2 had a little less snap, in exchange for which it delivered a more relaxed presentation than the excitable MDF cabinet in the v1 speaker. First the HO drivers from 2010 and now the nano drivers even further restore the snap of v1 without reintroducing the cabinet talk and glare. One of the by products is more apparent aliveness at low volumes. With nano drivers, this is elevated further by the greater definition, agility and resolution intrinsic to the nano across its range. My move to Def4 improved low volume listening over Def2, but I can also say that upgrading to the older HO drivers in Def2 had similar benefits on Defs I heard so equipped. The nano drivers in your Def2 will help your late night listening at low SPL.

Phil, that's great news. Mine arrive in late Sep after their review period, and I'm really looking fwd to a major last piece of the jigsaw for my final system revision falling into place.
In other words, tt/cd/amps all pretty much where I want them to be, lingering HF extension reservations re Defs being put right by 4s, so not looking to update beyond these.
Just looking at system wide issues ie better balanced power/room nodes attenuation/cabling/vibration control.
Your comments Phil are really filling me with confidence I will totally relax into my music when they arrive.
REALLY need to get off the upgrade merry-go-round after this purchase!
