OK...ONE LAST SPEAKER QUESTION cash cash

Here's an idea, Db-99's come up used once in awhile, as Tvad pointed out. Buy a used pair, then order an audition pair of Definition's from Zu, so you would have them both in your home at the same time, with plenty of time to audition both and decide which you like better with your system, and in your room. You would have no additional cash outlay since you would only pay for the Db-99's up front. If you like the Db-99's better, simply send the Zu Definition's back, if you like the Zu Definition's better, you have a couple of months to sell the Db-99's before paying for the Zu's. If history is any indication, the Db-99's should not take long to sell at a fair price.

Sorry about that, I wasn't thinking about having to pay up front for the Zu's (duh, brain fart!). However, if you have the cash flow to front both pairs, having both in your own room for direct comparison would be the best way to audition, and whichever you choose you should get all or most of your money back on the one you don't keep. Regarding the VSA Db-99's being frequently resold, my comment was "once in awhile." In fact, when looking them up in the A'gon blue book, there was "not enough date to graph," which indicates they haven't come up for sale too often. I have heard good things about both speakers, so please let us know what you think if you can do a direct comparision.
