| Request to hear Zu speakers Anybody out there host or attend a Zu Demo Party this past weekend? | |
| certin speaker makers harder to get dissounts fro I sold audio in a retail setting from 1975 til 1988 and sporadically after that. In those days, hi-end stores were able to subsidize the cost of maintaining a high dollar inventory by selling large volumes of mid-fi stuff. We didn't have cables bu... | |
| Solid State Preamp w/ PHono and with tube sound Check out the Rowland Concerto. Very compact. Very beautiful. Phono is an onboard option. Remote operates, volume, balance, mute and input selection. Sells on Audiogon around $3K.I'll leave the sound up to you but Rowland has always been warm and ... | |
| Mods and accessories Chazzbo - Since you brought up cars, I'd have to say you're a Rambler. What I was trying to address in my initial question is the matter of whether or not all mods are improvements. And whether or not many of these aftermarket improvements are jus... | |
| Is it worth the trouble? I've always felt that "critical listening" was a euphemism for seeking faults and weaknesses. Do people ever engage in "critical listening" from a positive perspective? It seems to me that it is always about finding faults.He who is looking for so... | |
| Request to hear Zu speakers I'm just off I-70 near Grand Junction, Colorado. You can hear the Druids here if you are in the area. | |
| Decision between Zu Definition OR VS DB99 Phil's right. The Definitions would cost as much as the Watt/Puppy 7's if they were sold at a conventional dealer margin. And the Druids would be more like $7 grand. Don't forget these speakers are 100% American made from proprietary parts. No off... | |
| Decision between Zu Definition OR VS DB99 The cost of round trip shipping is nothing compared to a dealer markup. I'm only about 300 miles from Zu headquarters so one way shipping on my Druids was $40. If you call Zu they'll give you a firm shipping quote to your zip code. You know, as I ... | |
| Decision between Zu Definition OR VS DB99 Duke,I hear nothing very negative in your comments. As a Druid owner, I guess I would have to say that my speakers are about fun. They're just so musical and so high on the PRaT scale that I just notice my toes tapping and disregard any concerns a... | |
| Rowland "house sound"? I really don't think there is anything to fault in the Rowland sound. Some people seem to have a problem with the Rolex factor, that is paying "extra" for Jeff's build quality and cosmetics but it is important to realize that Jeff's goal in every ... | |
| Decision between Zu Definition OR VS DB99 Duke,I appreciate your evenhanded approach to this topic. Could you specify what you like and don't like about the Druid and Definition separately as they are a bit different? The Defs, for instance, do receive subwoofer support from below the mid... | |
| Decision between Zu Definition OR VS DB99 Dawgbyte, My name is Desmond. I am Mr. Phil's factotum. He told me to ask you if your speaker has a crossover. Good Evening, Sir. | |
| I hate stereo stores But found the next best thing Sounds nice. In my area, we have U.S. Tech and Circuit City. I would really welcome a good old-fashioned audio hangout. | |
| Higher power=better sound at low volume? Speaker efficiency must play a part. If you get 90 db from your first watt and 93 from the second watt, 96 from the 4th watt and so forth, how much power will be needed for low level listening? So I agree with Elizabeth. My speakers are 101 db eff... | |
| Has anybody heard Zucable's Definition 1.5s Warren, I'm hoping to buy Definitions soon without selling both my kids. Right now I have Druids which, if not for the Defs, I would say are the best speaker available under $10K.I too am surprised that these speakers haven't caused much more of a... |
