Crossover-less Speakers
Zu sells factory direct. That means that you have to buy from the factory. They offer a generous 60 day free home audition for those who are curious about their product. Because speakers are large and bulky and expensive to ship, some people are r... 
Crossover-less Speakers
Stop the presses. I have a confession. I just remembered that I sold my ex-neighbor a pair of Libtec speaker cables to go with my Druids that he bought from me. I have made money from Zu after all. However, the guy who bought them is not an audiop... 
Crossover-less Speakers
Duke - You are hanging heavy on a fragile thread. Yes, Yes, Yes, there is a remote chance that somebody will read one of my positive comments about Zu and contact me for an opportunity to come to my house in Fruita, Colorado. I don't have a store,...

I didn't disclose anything because I didn't have anything to disclose. Try to get beyond the theoretical and read the actual facts.1.- I do not actively pursue business.2.- I do not have any inventory investment to recover.3.- I do not have the ab... 
Crossover-less Speakers
I was pressured into declaring myself a dealer after I mentioned that, as a "Listening Post", I have the potential to receive a commission. All Zu speakers are sold factory direct. I have no inventory to sell. However, if you come to my house and ...

The most unique style speakers that sound good?
Magnaplanars. We're used to them now but do they really look like they could play music and sound good doing it? 
Monitor Audio Made in China?
T bone - Your meaning isn't clear to me and, by your answer I gather you took me a bit too literally. By "strip mined", I meant plundered, not actually mined, although that meaning holds a certain literary imperative. We are a nation of paper push... 
Monitor Audio Made in China?

Zu Druid questions
Jack = Try an Onix SP-3 on your Cornwalls. You can find one for between $500 and $600 on Audiogon. It's an integrated amp with two inputs. If you need more than that, use an inexpensive passive preamp as a switchbox. You will be very impressed wit... 
Poll - Active vs. Passive preamp
Using Red Wine Audio Sig 30 as a single input integrated amp, which makes the answer to your question - passive. I have Zu Definitions. Total MSRP irrelevant. I tried a Legend Von Gaylord full octal tube preamp for a few days and found it to be pr... 
Zu Druid questions
Thanks for lending so much credibility, Steve. I've been flailing away in the wilderness fighting editorial suppression and uninformed naysayers for well over a year on the topic of Zu Druids. These speakers are so much bigger in performance than ... 
Are the online zines killing print mags in audio?
