| HiFi lacking social recognition? Our hobby is like most others. Stamp collectors pay many times face value for little squares of paper that are only worth that kind of money to those who belong to that fraternity. Likewise, our cables, cartridges and clocks are worth what we are ... | |
| Is the e-mail sounds like a 'SCAM' ? There are still some legitimate buyers. Wait for one. You posted this question because you didn't feel good about this guy. Trust that feeling and hold out for a legit buyer. | |
| Do dealers believe in their products? Vocation kills avocation. It always happens. If the endless flow of product doesn't wear you down, the customers surely will. After a while it's all just business. | |
| Wife/girlfriend or audio: if you had to chose? Now you've done it. This is sure to be everywhere you look at the next CES. It is in Vegas after all. | |
| Another Zu Thread Just measured.......101 inches from tweeter to tweeter.I was 10 feet back initially but I moved the sofa aft a bit and find I like that better. I haven't found a need to honor the equilateral triangle theory. Toe-in adjustment was all I needed. | |
| Another Zu Thread My Defs are a foot from the front wall and I am 12 feet from them. The wall behind me is 8 feet back. This setup works well in my space and would be worth a try in yours. | |
| Another Zu Thread Ron,As I understand it, the full range drivers roll off naturally in the range of 40 hz.in both models. With the 1.5, there is a choke which prevents the rear firing woofers from reproducing anything above 40 hz. With the Pros. you have the option... | |

| The Best Midrange in the World Right Now All of this seems to be a matter of taste and perception compromised by a confusion of terminology. Always we are seeking some sort of absolute where there can be none. Color is another word for character and without some color how can there be an... | |
| Another Zu Thread An aspiring Tyler owner who perpetually assails all owners of every other brand of loudspeaker to switch to Tyler due to a superiority that he projects based upon imagined outcomes resulting from a specific component inclusion. I believe this give... | |
| Another Zu Thread I must second Undertow's suggestion that Bartokfan appropriate a pair of Zu speakers to compare to his Tylers. There is an old expression which I have always valued. It says, "Lead, follow, or get out of the way". It is high time that ole Bfan do ... | |
| Another Zu Thread It would make more sense to compare Tyler to a line of speakers that has phony list prices and copycat designs. That way you would be comparing apples to apples. | |
| Another Zu Thread Definitions are strictly 4 point stance.The Druids can be handled pretty easily. If you can get behind them, put a level across the back of the plinth and a CD jewel case under it. It helps to have someone else tilt it forward for adjustments but ... |
