A 4-month trial period? In your own home? Why wouldn't you? And in the meantime, fly somewhere to hear the VS's. There is much more sonic commonality between the VR4Jr, Sr, & Gen III SE than there is in the DB-100's, IMO. So if the 99's are anything like the 100's, I would absolutely audition the 99's before laying down that much cash. (Wink, wink, nudge, nudge...)
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???????
