OK...ONE LAST SPEAKER QUESTION cash cash


before i write the chegue,i gotta' ask all in the know:the sound difference between VSA DB-99 and Zu Definition????? i know by all reports these are very close in all repects like value and performance,but total different sound.i am leaning to the Zu side of the fence.cost is almost the same,so that's not a factor.the drive amp will be a VAC 30/30 Sig.3 [front end is Sonic Frontier--getting old but still works.]Zu said they can burn them for 14 days so the sound should be almost complete out of the box.what to do???????

thks guys,the boys at Zu said i could have a 4 month trial period,me being so far from market,that's pretty good,shows a lot of class.there is a relation between VAC and VSA for sure from what i hear.i guess the bad part is you have to buy new....you can't find these used,but they both sell very well if you are so inclined.a deciesion is eminent for sure.i know this is beating a dead horse,but it's a rather large thing!thks
they went for 9300.and i have been kicking this around for some time.now that i have sold the 4jr's i really need some transducers bad?? thks
in Canada,we have one dealer in the east,that's it.said it before and will repeat,we just don't have the shops.by all indication,from what i have read,i think the Zu's will work.it works out to 11k total,if not the real deal i will,must likely not--sent them back to Zu.i love used buying but in this case these never come up,or not all that frequently.can't wait,need speakers now!!must buy,must try!!if anyone in stereo land wants to sell me their used Def's please call.any bets i buy new??
i thought you had to pay for the Zu's up front.i never asked them,i just took for granted you paid up front?? my plan is the same as you just laid out,except for the 99 part.
i hear ya jack,conclusions can be drawn,i think i will bite on the Defs.all that's left is the deal.you know what that means also?? no more dump speaker questions from me.dam amateurs,it was nice a few of you helped me along to what i think and hope was a good descision,let the music play-on!!
Warrenh,what do you run for a set.i may look into that soon just for the fun of it.these speakers are made for this.would like to compare the set to the vac.Undertow,where do you get the traps,how many do you need in a room and where do you place them mostly??sounds like you have the room dialed.i put on A3 the other day and i have never been bathed in better bass,simply the smoothest bass i have ever heard. can't see it getting any better,it was soooo cooool.where do you learn room treatment,or who do you call???? thks
ok here we go,now have the defs fed by the VAC 30/30 sig mk3,the player is direct to the amp and is the opus 21 modded by GNS.the speaker cables are Zu Ibus and interc to the amp is Discovery sig. the Zu guys did put 320 hrs on the speakers but they still sound better with each listen.my room sucks shit so work to be done there,13 by 18 with open beam ceiling at 8 feet.i think i will keep the Zu's as they sound freaking phenomenal so far,with room treatment i can't think what they will do.those boys are up to good things at Zu.to the guys with the def's,what are you runnin' for amps,just curious as i think the little vac is a gem,will a SET do better?? more to come,summer is for outside.
thks Undertow.things to think about,get ready for the cold weather and warm music.
