Gsm18439, I didnt mean to suggest that the Zus ability to play loud was at the expense of all the attributes you mentioned, but rather that I was getting the impression that those attributes were maximized at relatively higher volumes.

"The absolute best IMO the Takatsuki TA-300b(japan) very expensive(1800 USD) but elevates the Franks to the truly sublime tier, just superb. I just want to ad my voice to Charles1dad and GSM18439 concerning the top tier 300b tubes on the market. If you have a 300b tube amp, I cant urge you strongly enough to set aside your disappointments with all the overblown hype that youve heard used time and time again to promote audio products, and give these a try. I havent heard the Takatsukis yet but if I had, before I invested in the Sophia Royal Princesses, Id probably be a member of the choir. It's very easy for me to imaging preferring a modest amplifier with these tubes than a significantly more expensive amplifier with more commonplace tubes. The difference is that profound. |
These have been on my list as audition speakers when replacement time comes. But one of the things Im taking away from the above posts is that a primary virtue of these speakers is that they play loud. Since I live in a condo and never try to listen at live levels, would it be advisable for me to remove these from my list? |
I must confess that I havent read every post so this might be redundant. FWIW: http://www.laventure.net/tourist/caps.htm |
