Another Zu Thread


Sorry - I'm sure this is in the archives, but I've been reading them for several hours and haven't come up with anything super definitive.

Can anybody comment on what setup works best with the Druids and/or the Definitions? I have read >10ft to the listener for the Definitions.

Does the floor material matter? I have read that they need to be placed on hard surfaces, not carpet - true?

They appear to work in a fairly standard triangle pattern - separated by X feet, user seated Y feet away.

Toe in? Do these speakers do the "head in a clamp thing" or does it support multiple listeners reasonably well?

Distance from back / side walls?

Any help would be appreciated, either in direct answers or point me to a thread that discusses all the physical setup issues.

As long as we are on the spike subject does anybody have any suggestions how to get them level. I've spent what seems like hours trying to get my Druids level and still havn't gotten them perfect. Any tricks?
Thanks

Re: getting any adjustable, 4-spike device perfectly level is tough. I'd try to lean the speaker so three points are touching, then rotate the 4th until it makes solid contact with the floor. Cinch extra nut and you should be there.

Otherwise, very thin shims should be able to do the trick.

Bartok, if you're not going to follow your promised, self-imposed banishment at least stay out of the Zu threads. You don't see us wading into your shallow waters regarding your chosen flavor, hmmm?
Druid Spikes… Luckily that speaker is much more manageable in size and weight than the Defs, and you should be easily able to adjust the spikes with the standard Jam Nut supplied by Zu… You are forced to use a specific Height with the druids as I understand for the Port tuning underneath, so You can't go with any solid barrel spikes and must use the stock threaded rod type in this case. But again they are lightweight and very thin speakers, what is giving you difficulty on Leveling them? If your doing the 2 CD case stacked height or whatever it is that is suggested by Zu I would just stick the Jewel cases under each corner and lower each spike to match this distance at all 4 points and don't worry about being level to the room or floor, as you distance underneath to each corner would seem to be the criticle distance for the port.
