Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3?


Comparisons with the 1.5s and the others that came before? Getting the itch; again......

I, too, am intrigued to listen to my prototype Pre-One preamp and ZH-230 amplifier through a pair of Def IVs. Unfortunately, here in the Twin Cities area of Minnesota I am having trouble trouble finding a dealer or speaker owner where I could audition these electronics on Def IVs. I hate to think I have to order speakers to do this. The sad truth is I may have to cross the Def IVs off the list if I am unable to audition them. I was not bowled over by the Druids I heard at Axpona 2014 so I am even more anxious to really put the Def IVs through a listening session in which I am familiar with the upstream components.

Allvinyl, I wouldn't judge the new Druid V by Axpona 2014. They were using a peachtree audio integrated. Listen with a good SET amp. I run my Druids with 300b amps and Undertone sub and the pairing is excellent.
Don't judge the Druids by AXPONA... Zu is capable of a lot more and the Soul Supreme (pretty much the exact same speaker) sounded infinitely better 2 weeks later at T.H.E. SHOW in Newport Beach.
I have owned speakers of all types Including Zu and Lawther
Both are very respectable .one speaker that IMO is totally different is the New Omega Alnico- 6. Loudspeaker. The cabinet is super critical even more so in a single driver Loudspeaker. 4 seperate sandwich layers used in this speaker. A soft Birch ply core,then 2 ply cores then the outer veneer that is the thickest I have seen .which is a Antique grade almost 1/16 th thick.as good or better then Salk speakers cabinets which are very good.
Then ported.the Hemp fiber cone is one of the strongest ,and still very light.
Sonicly it has a very natural top end not rolled off at all ,and the midrange
Very open with good image depth.one thing that you don't expect is the midbass.it has excellent punch ,and Bass into the mid 40 HZ region. 93 db efficient. Using this Jas Bravo 18 wpc- SET integrated it sounds like a live performance . A great combination .this is one Loudspeaker that the better the equipment the more refined the performance and they can Rock.
