I need to do a follow up to this post too. I still have these speakers and love them. I have been listening to a lot of speakers at several high end audio retailers as well as at friends houses as well and I have not heard any speakers that do what these do for this price. Speakers costing up to 10k start to sound as good as mine and any thing less is not worth listening too. I have mine in a 34 foot long room that is 12 to 20 feet wide (a stair case in the middle of the room chokes it down to 12) I have them about 5-6 feet off the back wall and I have a large 18" sub. I believe the room size is very important to speaker selection and YMMV but these things dont get enough credit. If you're out there John Krutke. you da man. my original post 2010. 10 years later these things still sound amaze balls.

I've also had the 2 way ZRT towers for a couple of years. I assembled them myself in cabinets from Lee Taylor (http://www.taylorspeakers.com.) Mine are in a smaller central room that that opens up to a couple of larger room on the sides. I'm really happy with them and would like more of the same. I'm running them with a Audio Research VSi60 integrated amplifier and play CD's and LP's. I'm wondering if I should upgrade the 2 way ZRT to the ZRT 2.5 which has three drivers. I'm always happy to get a bit more base! Any thoughts? I don't think this would be an expensive upgrade as the 2 way speakers would probably sell quickly and Lee Taylor is still around making cabinets. |
I dont think you need to sell your 2 way just upgrade. the kits are the same aren't they? I think it would it be easier to buy some 2.5 crossovers and one more set the 7' scanspeaks and I guess you would also have to change your cabinet because they are smaller. hmmmm. Unfortunately i cant speak as to what the difference in sound would be from the 2 to 2.5 as Ive never heard the 2 version. |
