Anyone heard Zu Druid speakers?

Njp,

Their soundstage is HUGE! As far as placement, I had them @ 18" from the center of the driver to my side walls & @ 34" from the rear walls, with them toed in to the listening position. They were pretty easy to get them set in the correct spot.

Dolphin,

Check out this link and the posts from 231cobra , he sums it up very well. http://www.audiocircle.com/circles/viewtopic.php?t=19374&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0

I sold my Druids to upgrade to the Definitions. I really enjoyed the Druids, and was completely blown away the first time I heard the the Definitions. They have such a non-fatiguing sound that really draws you into the music, and their bass is so deep and very very clean.

A couple of questions regarding the Definitions.

1. On Audio Circle a question arose regarding "limited dispersion", which would negatively impact the size of the sweet spot. Does your experience align with the comments of 213Cobra?

2. How can the Defintion be time aligned and phase coherent when the 4 bass speakers are rear firing? I'm not sure I understand how the low frequency sound waves could reach the listeners ears at the same time as the midrange and tweeter when the wave is traveling in the opposite direction.

Thanks for any clarity on these issues.

Dawgbyte,

The limited dispersion is Vertical, so when seated it is like you are inside a sound tunnel, once you stand up the detail is not quite as sweet. As far as the width of the sweet spot, it is quite sizable, but can vary if you play around with the toe in and distance apart.

As far as the time aligned question, you are better off calling Zu about the technical side of that. All I know is that they sound amazing!

Hope this helps

Ton1313, thanks for your response. They sound very intriguing to say the least.

Dolphin, The Definitions are listed for a June July review on 6 moons.
