OK...ONE LAST SPEAKER QUESTION cash cash

Here's an idea, Db-99's come up used once in awhile, as Tvad pointed out. Buy a used pair, then order an audition pair of Definition's from Zu, so you would have them both in your home at the same time, with plenty of time to audition both and decide which you like better with your system, and in your room. You would have no additional cash outlay since you would only pay for the Db-99's up front. If you like the Db-99's better, simply send the Zu Definition's back, if you like the Zu Definition's better, you have a couple of months to sell the Db-99's before paying for the Zu's. If history is any indication, the Db-99's should not take long to sell at a fair price.

i thought you had to pay for the Zu's up front.i never asked them,i just took for granted you paid up front?? my plan is the same as you just laid out,except for the 99 part.

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.

i hear ya jack,conclusions can be drawn,i think i will bite on the Defs.all that's left is the deal.you know what that means also?? no more dump speaker questions from me.dam amateurs,it was nice a few of you helped me along to what i think and hope was a good descision,let the music play-on!!
