Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3?


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

Germanboxers,
I don't know if you are asking me but my name is Dave and I own the Def 4's on Sistrum Sp-101's so here goes. It's actually very simple. You place the stand where you want it and adjust the 3 feet so they will be in an appropriate place when you set the speaker on it. Also, you place the coupling discs on the spikes and hold them to the stand with a piece of tape. I just grab the speaker in a bear hug and set it on the coupled spikes. They are very stable on the stands. Shouldn't take more than a few minutes to do and the improvement will slap you in the face on the very first note. Look at Charles1dad's system thread. He articulated the improvements nicely. Every component I own is on Sistrum stands and would definitely recommend starting with your speakers if possible as that was the most dramatic impact. If you want more info you can reach me at dschwegman at gmail dot com.
Hi Dave - yeah I was directing the question to you...we've spoke before re. Def4's and other system building/tweaking subjects about 9 months ago.

My admittedly neorotic concern is that when I bear-hug the Def's and set them on the spikes my aim is off and the spike comes in contact with the surround of the sub driver. Or, a too aggressive bump or shove (for positioning) causes the speaker to slide slightly on the spikes and punctures the sub surround. Perhaps I'm not remembering correctly how open (and vulnerable) the sub driver is or how much flat usable space is on the bottom plinth?

Thanks,

Jordan
Oops..."neorotic" was a spell error and not a reference to new eroticism. ;-). Please replace with "neurotic"
No worries about either one. Even if the spike gets between the grates on the sub(coupling disc falls off), the spike is sufficiently wide that it is stopped on the aluminum plinth before it gets close to the driver.
Regarding stability, I have given them a good shove and they are very stable. It would take quite the push to knock them over. 150 lbs on a tripod is a stable platform.
I'm aiming to put one Symposium Acoustics Rollerblock Jr module at each corner of the two spkrs, and place them on Svelte Shelves. My Symposium Isis rack has been fantastic at isolating my main components, and I'm hoping I'll get a similar level of performance with my Zu Def 4 spkrs.
