| Zu on Zu Aktchi-I would have liked to see what the setup sounded like but I'm sure I couldn't handle more than 5 or 10 minutes of it myself. A high percentage of us audiophiles are refugees from a time past and I speak for myself when I say that. Zu wants ... | |
| Bloated speakers/weight wise Zaikesman- Wouldn't it make sense that shorter cone excursion is less apt to cause the rocking tendency you mention? | |
| Zu on Zu Kana813-The reason for discussion about shipping info is Zu's money back guarantee. If you buy a pair and elect not to keep them, then you will be responsible for return freight. Therefore, shipping info determines the amount of risk involved sinc... | |
| Zu on Zu Speaking of Zu......This might be of interest to some of you......http://www.6moons.com/industryfeatures/rave/rave.html | |
| Zu on Zu Stylinlp_38,I think you're right about there not being much info on the Zu website. The way I dealt with that was to call Zu and ask questions. It so happened that Sean answered the phone. I found instant rapport with him and now count him as a fr... | |
| Zu on Zu Rotarius, If the sound and performance of the product is not enough to qualify it in your mind then you would be better served by a company which specializes in white papers and measurements. One of the things that has impressed me about Zu from t... | |
| WILSON AUDIO/ cost vs. value I thought this discussion was about value, perceived or real, and not about economic class distinctions. Whether or not anyone choses to spend their money on a $300,000 bicycle does not prove that the bicycle is worth that much, or isn't. The dete... | |
| WILSON AUDIO/ cost vs. value Holenneck -I chose to use Wilson speakers in my analogy for two reasons.First - I believe they are the highest profile offender although you are right about there being others. Secondly, Wilson is the topic of this thread. You say there are cars t... | |
| WILSON AUDIO/ cost vs. value Holenneck - Say what you will, the X-2 is still only a pair of speakers and he's got them priced like an S-Class Mercedes. I get a big disconnect when I look at that comparison. Consider what goes into that car compared to what is in the Wilson sp... | |
| Home Entertainment Show in Los Angeles So why is Dave running ads justifying his price?He wants to establish his product as a good value, something Honda has done as well as anyone. You say there is no common ground between Wilson and Honda. I think there is. Are there any Wilson owner... | |
| Home Entertainment Show in Los Angeles I'm surprised no one has pointed out the big difference between the $1500 my hypothetical Honda dealer makes on the Accord versus the more than $10,000 the Wilson dealer brings down for selling W/P 8's. That is, of course the biggest difference be... | |
| Zu Druid or Tone + sub Very similar. Druid is more efficient than Tone if that has any bearing. And not bothering with stands and extra cable expense argues for Druids but greater bass extension comes with the sub option. I don't think that other parameters separate the... | |
| Home Entertainment Show in Los Angeles If you have $30K idling about as spare change in your pocket and no real compunction about how you distribute these funds, then putting the whole wad into a pair of speakers is no worse than some other things that have been chosen by others in the... | |
| WILSON AUDIO/ cost vs. value Holleneck - I also thought the show was silly. You are right that it could have been about farm equipment and it probably was the following week. It could have been about the upcoming fireworks display or the Prom 2 weeks ago. It was a poorly exec... | |
| WILSON AUDIO/ cost vs. value The market speaks with precision when evaluating essential commodities unless it is deliberately altered by successful manipulation. Current fuel prices might be an example. In the case of non-essentials, pricing is driven to a great extent by per... |
