| Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3? In most rooms, running the low pass filter above 40Hz is just too high. My LP setting is 38. Perfect. This also keeps excessive bass energy out of the vinyl mechanicals. Too much overlap with the FRD low end output if you're well above 40Hz, thoug... | |
| zu audio Help Zu Omen Defs should yield ample bass in your room, to their lower limit but keep in mind that the 10" drivers are full-range very low excursion units. They will deliver fast, tuneful bass but not with the artificial bloat and distortion of a longe... | |
| zu audio Help Before I attempt an answer, it would be helpful to know your room dimensions, relative placement, and what speakers you've used before Zu.Phil | |
| Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3? Severe toe-in for Def4 doesn't make sense to me and is the exact opposite of my experience with them although for those placing speakers 12' apart or more, I can see more toe-in than I use may be necessary. My Def4s are placed 9' apart, center to ... | |
| Mcintosh MC501 or MC 352 for Sonus Faber Cremona MC501 conclusively over MC352, but I have to point out that as illogical as it might seem, the truly magic driver for Cremona is MC1201 or MC1.2kw in the Mac line.Phil | |
| Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3? The least "alive" Definition was the original Def2, before the 2010 HO drivers. And still, at modest levels it was comparatively excellent at representing full tonal body and presentation of graceful detail with dynamic contrast. Definition 4, and... | |
| Zu Superfly Mk1-B vs Zu Omen Def Mk1-B? To draw the distinction between Superfly and Omen Def's differing architectures, generally, I'll polarize the difference. Omen Def is a big, bursty, rambunctious party speaker that's musically fun and has the image scale and breadth to succeed for... | |

| Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3? >>...more than 200 watts which he ran successfully on his Def. IV speakers. On paper this seems like overkill or even a mismatch? Can someone perhaps shed some light on this?<<Putting aside all the usual reasons why a Zu speaker sounds... | |
| Zu Definition owners who stepped up to the Def 4 When I mentioned the compromise of an internal amp, I was referring to the known degradation of the sound of especially solid state circuits subjected to vibration. But the deleterious effects are mostly noticed in upper midrange and high freuqnec... | |
| Zu Definition owners who stepped up to the Def 4 There's certainly room for an internal amp in Dominance. In designing a SotA speaker, Zu just took the absolutist route to require external amplification & control for the 15". As a Zu customer I've expressed my preference for a version of Dom... | |
| Zu Definition owners who stepped up to the Def 4 Markpao,All other things being equal, more cone area to move air is "better." But all other things aren't equal in this case. Four drivers don't deliver the same absolute dynamic unity as one. The 12" in the Def4 is a substantial cast-basket drive... | |
| Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3? Charles,I love Audion preamps and have one in my 2nd system. An Audion would be a great and synergistic match for Def4. But the DACs I am evaluating in advance of building a server to rip my CD library to have the option of balanced outputs from w... | |
| Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3? Def2 had a slightly reticent character compared to Def1.5 before it. Simply installing the nano FRD or even the 2010 HO FRD to stock Def2 shifts the presentation of the speaker to a more vivid, forward sound comparatively. This is good from an ult... | |
| Zu Definition owners who stepped up to the Def 4 The 12" downfiring sub in Def4 is cleaner, quicker, and it loads the room more evenly. It is in all ways better than the 4x10" linear sub array on earlier Definitions. Plus the internal amp is better, cleaner, more powerful -- and you have far mor... |
