Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3?

Phil, thanks for your thoughts on that. I have enough justification to make spending the cash on the Def4s without running to a bill 3x + their cost to consider the Dominances!
My guess with Sean, is that they might be the ultimate testing board to refine ideas for spkrs like the Def4s they're likely to sell many more of.
Anyhow, within 4-6 weeks I'll be providing a home for a new pair of Def4s, can I just take this moment to thank you for your really informed, enthusiastic comments on the 4s. It is primarily these positive descriptions (and those of others eg GSM) of the quality differences between the 4s and 2s which gave me so much confidence to make the upgrade without prior audition. In effect Sean should be thanking you too, lol!

Although I have neither seen nor heard the Dominance, it is twice the footprint, 25% taller, and 250% the volume of the Def 4s. Not insignificant for real-world applications.

When Zu says Definition offers the maximum loudspeaker performance available in about 1 square-foot of floor space regardless of price, I think they are right and that footprint happens to be practical even for many customers at least in the US who don't have extravagent digs. You really must have an extraordinary commitment to domestic high-fidelity music reproduction to go further in a loudspeaker. But of course in a pursuit like this, there's a lot of elasticity to where any two individuals would place the boundary demarcating the threshold of "extraordinary commitment." In a market sense, is Dominance worth its size and price? Yes, but only a relative handful of people will think so.

I briefly (very briefly!) flirted with the idea of Dominance before my upgrade to Def 4s. However, Dominance was too visually imposing, the size was simply unacceptable, and I am not that committed to "domestic high fidelity music reproduction." Conversely, the Def 4s look right, are properly sized for a normal living environment, have a look and finish that are excellent and perfect for my decor, and I am more than satisfied with the sound. Plus there is this black and white photograph that I covet . . .

Gsm- I totally agree about the Dominance looking (and apparently in reality) super imposing. Seems like a speaker for a dedicated room compared to your Arch Digest styled room.

That said, several of us in SoCal have discussed the Experience...it would be bigger than the Def, but not as imposing as the Dominance. Although it's 19" deep, so still quite a bit larger. I personally don't think I would move beyond that---I would be in a Magico at any higher price point, which I believe is the best xover-based speaker on the planet by quite a large margin.
