Another Zu Thread

Bartokfan, Excellent Idea…. You have tylers right? Okay you are in an excellent position to make your dreams come true, FREE shipping with a 90 Day return policy on Zu.. you are the authority here and are the top representative of Tyler to give a fair shake and put on your own Head to Head A-B test to prove to yourself and everyone you made the best choice in American Built speakers… Please get back to us when you record your findings, take some pics.. By the way Zu charges very little for and even sometimes Nothing to ship nearly 300 lbs worth of speakers.. I Have seen just recently Quotes from Tyler acoustics supossedly that they will charge 300 to 400 to ship a pair of the bigger models, and a few guys were asking around on some recent threads that they want to make sure about them before such a costly audition to get them in home. I have nothing against Tyler, but since it seems you have this strange facination with proving something you are infact in the best position to do this instead of telling everybody " please tell or conduct a shoot out" etc… You have jumped in about 100 times on these threads and really have nothing to say accept its impossible that the Seas Excell Driver could be bettered by something else. So please get a pair of Zus for free and return them! Nobody else wants to pay and possibly wait 5 weeks for delivery on Tylers. By the way 3 or 5 weeks wait, and paying shipping costs is not a knock at Tyler, that is perfectly acceptable accept the fact that it is just easier for somebody already with Tylers will have an easier and cheaper way to get the Zu's.

Argh. OK, here's why Bartok should be excluded from the Zu threads - to date he has added no productive dialog in any way, shape, or form. Derailed threads often do not find their way back on track and this is destructive to genuine information-gathering efforts.

Bartok does not even try to contribute one iota of ANYTHING, he is merely lobbing rotten fruit on the stage. Until he brings something productive to the table, I will not "lay off" his tired act. Repeat after me - self imposed ban, self imposed ban. I see his word is as meaningless as his hollow rhetoric.

I wonder how his challenge might go using my choice of SET amplifiers.

Re: The Druid spikes - my feeling about them was that even with the designated carpet spikes, the bass gap could not be properly tuned. So, I spiked one of the Home Depot paver blocks to the floor below the carpet and used that as the base for the speakers. This was an effective strategy and I encourage anyone having issues tuning the bass in the Druids on carpet to try something similar.

And, while all the Zu speakers do sound better in the sweet spot, they are enjoyable anywhere in the room. I will be hosting a sizable listening session in my home this upcoming Sunday and I'm not worried at all about the many different spots the listeners will be sitting.

RE Bartok,

Everybody has the right to make stupid posts. We've all done it.

However, he abuses that privelege.

I must second Undertow's suggestion that Bartokfan appropriate a pair of Zu speakers to compare to his Tylers. There is an old expression which I have always valued. It says, "Lead, follow, or get out of the way". It is high time that ole Bfan do just that, instead of buzzing us perpetually like a mosquito on meth. I agree with Miklorsmith that Bfan makes no useful contribution and serves as a counterproductive and often damaging distraction. It's time to vote him off the island unless he can provide something positive and substantive to the discussion.

Does Bartokfan actually have Tyler speakers or just wish he had them. Paul?
