OK...ONE LAST SPEAKER QUESTION cash cash

before i write the chegue,i gotta' ask all in the know:the sound difference between VSA DB-99 and Zu Definition????? i know by all reports these are very close in all repects like value and performance,but total different sound.i am leaning to the Zu side of the fence.cost is almost the same,so that's not a factor.the drive amp will be a VAC 30/30 Sig.3 [front end is Sonic Frontier--getting old but still works.]Zu said they can burn them for 14 days so the sound should be almost complete out of the box.what to do???????

You do have to pay for the Zu's up front but you can use a credit card to delay payment a while.
As you noticed, there are NEVER any Zu Definitions for sale used. This means two things to you. First, they should be a very quick resale and second, they should fetch a very high percentage of new price when sold used.
I also want to note that they are not resold or returned because they are so good. The Db-99 is frequently resold according to the above poster and there may be a similar conclusion drawn from that fact.

Sorry about that, I wasn't thinking about having to pay up front for the Zu's (duh, brain fart!). However, if you have the cash flow to front both pairs, having both in your own room for direct comparison would be the best way to audition, and whichever you choose you should get all or most of your money back on the one you don't keep. Regarding the VSA Db-99's being frequently resold, my comment was "once in awhile." In fact, when looking them up in the A'gon blue book, there was "not enough date to graph," which indicates they haven't come up for sale too often. I have heard good things about both speakers, so please let us know what you think if you can do a direct comparision.
