Zu Druids

Spendor BC1's -How do you set them up best?
Spendor BC-1's like air around them. Away from the room boundaries, off the floor on open stands. That's all I can say based on my experience. And good amplification.It is interesting how subjective certain things are. When I chose BC-1's many yea... 
Coincident Super Eclipse III vs. Tyler Sig System?
Stltrains: for me the musical presentation is the most important choiceHi, I was intrigued by this statement, could you please explain a little? Besides "musical presentation" what other criteria are there? (I am not in the market right away but T... 
Anyone Totally Content With Their System?
I know my system is a compromise but a very good one for my circumstances, music tastes etc. I don't feel the urge to buy something immediately, but I am interested enough to track the developments. This way I hope I will be ready when the right o... 
Spendor S8e - Audio Physic Tempo-4
Albertporter: Otherwise I haven't a clue as to what is going on.I think Bartokfan means that people are expecting him to trash the Spendors and recommend Tylers instead, and for once he's going to shock the hell out of us by not doing so. :) 
Anyone get to hear the new Selah 3D RMAF?
Audiokinesis: the Selahs were among only about a half-dozen or so that made that cut. What were the others that made this short list? Did you get to listen to them? 
Low volume bookshelf spkrs that go from 20 to 20k?
Narrod: A 20hz soundwave is 27.5 feet long. It simple can't be achieved in a small room though the apparent bass can be very good in a properly treated room. How are headphones able to achieve low frequencies? 
Mainstream reviews-why so few?
Songwriter, Macrojack, and Bartokfan, and everybody: Clearly, from above statements, what is needed is side by side comparison among GMA, Zu and Tyler, if it could be arranged. We can also throw in Ddedelus, Adagio, Ridge Street Sasson, etc., as t... 
Question about ZU speakers
Miguelcarvalho: The nearest dealer is in Barcelona-Spain (which is 1000 miles from my location). I already spoke with the ZU staff(very friendly personal) and with the dealer. I intended to do a demo at my living room with my gear but this would b... 
Question about ZU speakers
Hi Miguel, there are practically no Zu dealers in the USA too. You should try to find someone relatively nearby (well, traveling distance within Europe) who owns the speaker and request an audition. If you contact Zu, maybe they can help you locat... 
Whats more important? Speaker or the Amp
Remember, you are asking this question in the speaker forum. :-) However, I do agree with the overall sentiment expressed above that speakers determine the sound quality most. 
Front vs. Rear Port
Raduray: Yes, conventional wisdom says to use front porting if the speaker is placed close to the back wall. Duke: Please forgive my ignirance but when you speak of your designs, are these commercially marketed models? What name do they go by? 
Very confused... Noob help needed
I too suggest you get the best 2 speakers you can afford now. Since you mentiond 1000 +/- 200, I assume 1200 is a possibility, so I'd urge you to wait a little and push it to 1500 even. BUY USED. If you have good local dealers, fine, otherwise A'g... 
Quads - Just a couple of questions
1) How can I find my nearest dealer.From Quad's US distributer's web site (http://www.iagamerica.com/quad):"Phone Quad directly on 781-341-1234 (option 4) to arrange an audition with your nearest stockist."2) Can anyone tell me what to expect vis ... 
Acoustic Zen Adagio, How Good Are They?
Tbg: I spent most of my time listening to the new Pioneer speakers, the LSA Model 10s in the Walker suite..the Evolution speakers, the Zu suite...I'd be interested in a capsule review of the speakers you heard, in particular LSA and Zu. Too bad yo...
