| are your kids interested My boys are 13 and 15 and both are musicians. They each have their own computer with NHT Pro powered monitors and sub. So they stay in their rooms a lot of the time but if they feel a need to visit the kitchen, on goes the I-Pod. The only time the... | |
| Dali, Amphion, Zu How does one become verifiable? What on earth does that mean?There are a goodly number of posters on here who love their Zus. | |
| Dali, Amphion, Zu I own Druids and they are the finest speaker I have heard in 30 years of audio. Can't tell you anything about the other 2 you mentioned but if they have crossovers in them then skip them and buy the Druids. You'll never look back. | |
| decent integrated to replace NAD 3400 Hi Tom, I would suggest you try the Onix/Melody SP-3 available from AV 123.com. Apparently they have a B-stock unit for $699. I bought mine a couple of weeks ago and I am amazed at both the build quality and the sound. I got the idea of checking i... | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? Zu Definition 1.5. No crossover between 40 HZ and 12Khz provides impeccable phase coherence where it matters. Speaker is solid and implacable to 16 Hz because of 4 ten inch powered woofers per speaker. This may sound gimmicky to you but I assure t... | |
| Zu Tone/Druid Tonal Anomalies Smeyers, You have a problem upstream. The speakers are not hissing - they are conveying hiss generated elsewhere in the system. This problem only occurs because your speakers are so efficient. Drubin, The "sweet spot" is as wide as my sofa. When t... | |
| What speakers match well with Atma Sphere? Since no one responded to my prompt, I will tell you that Ralph Karsten, the owner, designer, inventor of Atmasphere, uses Zu Druids in his personal system. At 12 ohm impedance, they match up nicely with OTLs. I'm told the S-30 is a paticularly go... | |
| Rank Stereophile, & why no Von Schweikert reviews I agree. The only way to knock a smug, sanctimonious magazine off its high horse is to cut off its revenue stream. Just watch how quickly they get humble once their advertisers wise up and stop feeding the beast.Just look at who reads this stuff. ... | |
| Are Zu Druids really good HE speakers? Can't speak for Michigan but I'll gladly show mine off in western Colorado. Just e-mail me if you're within traveling distance of Grand Junction. | |
| Rank Stereophile, & why no Von Schweikert reviews That's right. My Zu Druids were delivered in a black helicopter by three guys in Nixon masks. And they were whining about how I should have bought V.S., whatever that is. | |
| Rank Stereophile, & why no Von Schweikert reviews It's the times, methinks. Everything in our culture has been subordinated to and measured by money. You can still find movie reviews if you want to but the grosses are listed on the front page. It's a sad fact that even my audio choices are dictat... | |
| Bi-Amping Possibility, which direction ? Dual binding posts do not guarantee that a speaker is designed for bi-amping. It is possible that these posts are provided for bi-wiring only. You should find out what options Sonus Faber affords you before jumping into this. In some cases a passi... | |
| What speakers match well with Atma Sphere? Ask Ralph Karsten what speakers he uses. | |
| Are Zu Druids really good HE speakers? Mechans,Your experience is your experience but I have to challenge your characterization of the Druids. Mine are only 2 weeks old and they sounded very special right out of the box. If they are going to get better as they break in, that will be so... | |
| Rank Stereophile, & why no Von Schweikert reviews Yup, Remember how we used to reminisce? |
