Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3?


Comparisons with the 1.5s and the others that came before? Getting the itch; again......

I’m sure everybody on this thread has probably read my story about receiving a pair of Def 4’s, I‘d like to make a few comments about them. I don’t have the reviewing or the writing skills as everyone here and I think everything I’m experiencing has been stated. So here are a few general statements. From the first few minutes of listening it is very apparent that this is a totally different speaker than the MK3. From top to bottom everything is better and that’s not putting the 3’s down, I enjoyed my brief time with them.
Where I experienced some shrillness from the tweeter on certain cuts is now gone. The bass is much tighter and powerful and the overall sound really fills the room (22’x18’) Off axis listening is great. Cd’s that I haven’t played in years are now sounding pretty darn good. I’m using the Melody I2a3 and I’m sure the other amps and associated gear talked about here would take things to another level but I feel the 2a3 does them justice at least to the point that I’m really enjoying the music and not stressing about upgrading something and that’s really what its all about.
If anyone is contemplating upgrading from the 2’s or lower and can afford it, you won’t be disappointed. By the way I got the honey walnut finish.

If anybody gets a chance to hear the new First Watt SIT amps with their mk.4's, please let us know how it sounds?
Ghostinthemachine, I can't comment on your experience since I'm not connected with Zu or their distributors, but if you haven't already bought alternative speakers do contact Sean at Zu and see what he can do. I believe they have run 60 day risk free home trials for many of their speakers in the past, and maybe this could be arranged for the Def4s.
It's a shame, since you're missing out on one of the most holistic experiences in music reproduction, which I am buying further into myself personally by purchasing the Def4s. Ironically enough, since you're not considering, I complete the transaction today.
