Question about Druids


Since Zu has such a liberal home audition policy, why would anyone who just bought a pair that is "not even broken in", sell them for a 1K loss? Why not just take advantage of the return option and pay the shipping back to the factory? This makes no sense to me. Any ideas?

Putting aside the latest Zu rumor about discounting, I have to admit that I have wondered the same thing that Ozzy62 is asking. Why take a big hit on near new speakers when Zu makes such a point about their generous trial period? If the option to return them for a full refund exists, why on earth would anybody sell them at a big loss? It makes me wonder about the advertiser's claims. I couldn't wait to get mine broken in and I did so in much less time than Zu alots. But, if the seller in question took 6 months or a year to break his speakers in, that would answer all our questions.
I'll repeat the other question, "Is there anyone out there who received a discount from Zu by negotiating the price?".
I couldn't break in my Def's in 60 days and I ran them crazy. 60 days just is not enough time for the wondrous sound to happen. Maybe 6 months? But I knew where they were going. Others may not feel as confident. Also, I can see how the sound just may not agree with some: in 60 days, 30 days 180 days. Me? I love 'em. Having a ball with my SET and 101db Defs. I wouldn't think this to death. Some are not as patient and their break in time is not like others. 60 days doesn't not necessarily mean the hours that go along with that. That's a plain ole fact.
Besides the original launch of Druids & Definitions on ebay a few years back, and the recent 12 days of x-mas sale,I have not heard of Zu discounting their prices on the speakers.

In case anyone is still on the fence and wants to try them, Zu has posted they will pay the shipping for their products for the month of January.
songwriter, email me on the aside and give me your financial arrangements with Roy and the Green Mountain Moonies. I'll run it by the Zu boys and get back to you. You do read a newspaper every now and then don't you? I mean other than Stereophile and Tatoo my Body With Your Ink?
