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???????

A 4-month trial period? In your own home? Why wouldn't you? And in the meantime, fly somewhere to hear the VS's. There is much more sonic commonality between the VR4Jr, Sr, & Gen III SE than there is in the DB-100's, IMO. So if the 99's are anything like the 100's, I would absolutely audition the 99's before laying down that much cash. (Wink, wink, nudge, nudge...)

Warren's right. You can drive yourself crazy worrying that there might be something better available or you can enjoy what you have. If you have to jump in cold on one of these speakers, I think it makes sense to choose the one that has a money back return policy. Even if you pay round trip freight on the Defs, it won't approach the price of an airplane seat and a hotel room. And where will you get the more complete audition, in your own room with your own gear for 60 days or during a couple of hours listening to completely different ancillaries in a strange place with a salesman yammering in your ear about what Miles Astor says?
Soon you'll be promoting Zu like the rest of us.

If you really want to know which one YOU'LL like better, then YOU must listen to both--period. At 10,000 dollars, it's absolutely mandatory, unless you're a multimillionaire.
