Harbeth SHL5 or M40
If that's the choice, then M40 for suer! Nice as all Harbeths are, M40 is in a class by itself. It comes in an active version as well. 
Best monitor for female vocals?
Northwoods_maine: Harbeths are hard to find used. However, incredibly both Super HL-5 and somewhat less expensive classic Compact 7-es2 are listed at A'gon. You can't go wrong, you can always sell at the same price. If you like this British sound,... 
Speaker Sugestions Wanted $1500 max
songwriter: It is ok to love a particular make, but it'd be interesting for me to know which other speakers you have compared gma'a against, and in what kind of room and what kind of music? 
Tyler Acoustics PD-80's arrived
Nuguy: Congratulations. I hope you enjoy them for a long time. What was your short list of speakers and how did you select Tyers?For all thosw who know: What's the difference between Tyler's old and new speaker lines, especially for classical musi... 
Achieving audio system synergy
I am not a tube person but have heard good things about Onix integared. Look at http://av123.com . The company was founded by Mark Schifter (don't know if he is still there) whose previous company Audio Alchemy's products had developed a reputatio...

Macrojack: "I will gladly provide a demonstration of the Zu Druids in my home. Just email me to make arrangements at your convenience."First of all thanks for the offer, this is a healthier turn in the discussion. Where do you live? Probably far a...

Smeyers: "I think the Tone model (with some digital eq tweaking) is one of the best speakers I've ever heard regardless of cost."It probably is! But just a few musings your comment inspired. With so much junk out there, any great speaker costing c...

Matrix, Tvad: The Zu model I recall readig about was not Definition Pro. Unfortunately, I don't remember more. I hope more information will be available soon.I too meant subwoofer in the traditional sense of a separate third cabinet. I like two fu... 
Chinese Speaker Prices
As others have pointed out, Usher is Taiwanese, so your friend may not have an opportunity to order it at a good price or even at all. However, for discussion's sake, I have had items (not just audio) shipped from abroad and realize the difficult ...

Matrix: I wasn't being theoretical, I read somewhere (6moon?) that Zu is working on newer models. I am curious enough to see what will come out. I have very good speakers and have no compulsion to buy now. Theoretically, I don't agree with your an... 
OK...ONE LAST SPEAKER QUESTION cash cash
Macrojack: As for waiting to see what else Zu will make in the future, why? Are you going to walk until you are convinced that Ford or Toyota or whoever has finalized the automobile.I can only explain how I feel, each person must decide for himse...

Jeff: Great review. I responded to it there but a few words may not be out of place here too. My own unsolicited advice is a little different. Your review basically says to me that you feel Gallos -> Druids will be a sideways move for you. That...

Phil, Miklorsmith: Your kind of advocacy of Zu is appreciated, that is how I became curious about Zu's in the first place. As to why discussions end up revolving around Zu's, you'd notice, eg in this thread itself, that Zu's start out as one among...

Moderator: I see that one of my posts above got posted twice. I won't be offended at all if you remove the duplicate occurence. :-)Miklorsmith, Tvad: Cheerleading is an established part of audio, indeed any passionate hobby, and is one of the thin...

Ton1313: I do and have appreciated your feedback. But, platitudes aside, there are simply too many speakers to form opinions only after actually hearing them all for myself. For better or worse, we rely on other people's experience too, common gro...
