| Would you buy speakers with out first listening ? Sure, why not? With some experience you can triangulate on the expected sound based on trusted sources. Moreover, the relationship between a store environment and your living room is quite remote. Narrow your choices based on considered opinion an... | |
| Do you know of small speakers that sound ''BIG'' ? Zu Tones, on robust stands, driven by a forceful tube amp. Try to find a pair of used Osiris stands. It will be large and sensation, and when you have the cash, a Mini Method Subwoofer will complete the illusion.Phil | |
| Soliloquy 6.2i vs VS vr4jr , Zu Druid & Usher 6371 Zu's revolutionary aspect derives first from the accomplishment of their wideband full-range driver. Without that, the crossoverless design would not be possible, or it wouldn't yield the same results. Druid and Definitions are systems, holistical... | |
| Soliloquy 6.2i vs VS vr4jr , Zu Druid & Usher 6371 Hmmm....I don't think anyone wrote that single driver speakers are new. Least of all Zu themselves. They freely admit their design themes are inspired by classic research from early to mid 20th century. What is new about Zu is easy to identify: a ... | |
| Soliloquy 6.2i vs VS vr4jr , Zu Druid & Usher 6371 Zu Druids will, alone among this bunch, give you holistic sonic presentation, uniform transient behavior top-to-bottom, tonal consistency and no driver integration issues. Aside from Zu's breakthrough full-range driver combining tonal accuracy, wi... | |
| Sonus Faber Cremona Auditors/Cremona - Integ Amp Scottsman,There was no problem with the front end or cables when I listened to Rowland and Mac autoformer amps on the same systems. Some people prefer the Rowland sound, IME. I'm not one of them and simply report why and what I hear. And what I de... | |
| Big Mcintosh MC1000 pwr amp s? I'm haven't listened to 501s directly compared to 1000s. With some speakers the power reserve of the 1000s might trump a sonic advantage to the 501. I think the 1201 is the way to get everything and it looks like you have. Congratulations!Phil | |
| Sonus Faber Cremona Auditors/Cremona - Integ Amp The Rowland amps are quite lifeless, but clean. Sterile, dry, toneless. I am characterizing this relatively. They particularly sound this way into 4 ohm speakers. I have heard JR on Cremona Auditors and thought the resulting sound lacked body, ton... | |
| Anybody familiar with the Tandberg TD 310 Cassette Nakamichi decks have one problem: tapes recorded on them will have rolled-off high frequencies when played on other decks, and you may have some dynamic range compression. When played on Nakamichi decks, however, they will be excellent. If you are... | |
| Help Viridian will a Denon 103 work in a Rega arm The Rega/Denon 103 combination works fine. Together, midrange is penetrating and music is articulated artfully, without being too hifi. A Heavyweight or similar counterweight upgrade, and especially the Michell Tecnoweight, will seriously improve ... | |
| Do Physicists Or Musicians Design Better Speakers? Based on what Zu has accomplished, the nod goes to physics dropouts who get juiced by music.Phil | |
| Compare: Salk Sound, Silverline, Tyler, Zu On Zu finishes: My Druids are gloss red. They were bought used and had been updated by the factory to near MkIV status. Sean says they're "Mk 3.5" by virtue of having the current supertweeter with the prior gen FRD, and a slightly different expres... | |
| Big Mcintosh MC1000 pwr amp s? Yes, MC1201s are better sounding than MC1000s in every respect you can imagine.There was a time when McIntosh power amps sounded flat and uninvolving but that time has been gone for over 10 years now. The full range of McIntosh autoformer amplifie... | |
| Compare: Salk Sound, Silverline, Tyler, Zu In one of my systems, Zu Druids replaced Silverline speakers, and I had heard the entire Silverline range before making that change. The Silverline speakers each are voiced and hence while there is a family semblance in sound up and down the line,... | |
| Best Amp for Sonus Faber Cremona Series Any of the VAC integrateds sound excellent with SF Cremonas. However, the killer integrated with this speaker is the McIntosh MA6900 on the 4ohm taps.Phil |
