| Zu Druid & Definition Roundup Hello Benmcosker. In my opinion the Zu Definition Mk4's are first, and second, an outstanding speaker and an outstanding value. This applies whether they are powered by good quality solid state amps or SOTA tube or SS amps. I'd rather have the Def... | |
| Zu Druid & Definition Roundup Hi Charles,Yes, I do find the sistrum stand very beneficial; however, this is in comparison to the stock Zu feet. I have not tried other audio points or stands. I really dread having to pick these 160+lb speakers up off the stands again. I've done... | |
| Zu Druid & Definition Roundup Spirit - I can measure it exactly tonight, but they are at least 4" off the ground. I don't doubt that there is a difference in the bass due the gap; my point is that with the array of adjustements the built in parametric equalizer provides, neith... | |
| Zu Druid & Definition Roundup Spirit - Since it's critical to maintain the plinth to floor gapI think you might be mistaking the need to maintain the plinth to floor gap with the Druids? I have my 4's on sistrum stands and although I wished I had set them up lower for a variet... | |
| Anyone have Coincident Frankenstein amps? I believe the drum sound too soft and does not reproduce the drum beat well. Drum beats sound flimsy lack of impactHmmmmm...this hasn't been my experience with the Franks. They won't "pop" like a big, over damped SS amp, but to me they sound far m... | |
| Coincident Frankenstein mk.2 amps Hi Snopro,I have used the Frankensteins Mk2 with my Zu Def Mk4's for several months. The Franks were revelatory for me in this system. I was using Atma-Sphere M-60's. The tone density, palpability, 3D imaging, micro dynamic shadings, and overall c... | |
| Awesome Customer Support Thanks for the story. I have had a similarly admirable experience(s) with Sean and the Zu guys. They are top notch and have earned my loyalty and respect. If their products were only average or mediocre their customer service would be laudable, bu... | |
| Zu Druid & Definition Roundup Thanks Charles. Never know for sure if my thoughts and writing are lucid so nice to hear it made some sense. | |
| Zu Druid & Definition Roundup I'd like to echo the second part of Charles' question. The Elite 3 box seems like it should have greater potential than the Black Shadows, though certainly less convenient. From the little I can find on it, sounds like similar parts quality and in... | |
| Zu Druid & Definition Roundup Spirit - not sure why, but the Black Shadows performed considerably better when driven by my Coincident Linestage than DAC direct, whereas the Coincident Frankensteins performed "slightly" better driven DAC direct. I don't know how this relates to... | |
| Zu Druid & Definition Roundup Charles - I did enjoy my WTTT and before that, my Linn Axis TT (used part of a student loan to purchase the Axis...just had to have it). By 1996, I found it increasingly more difficult and expensive to find music I enjoyed on LP and finally bought... | |
| Zu Druid & Definition Roundup Spirit - just a quick reply on your last comments regarding digital treble sounding "a little shut in". I haven't had an analogue rig since selling my Well Tempered Turntable in 1996; however, I do hear "shut in" treble from some digital software,... | |
| Zu Druid & Definition Roundup Spirit - great to year you are enjoying your audition of the Black Shadows. They are an outstanding representative of SET capabilities with more than enough power for any genre when powering the Def4's. I also find them to convey remarkable tonal ... | |
| Zu Druid & Definition Roundup Gsm18439 - just saw your home on "You Live in What?" On HGTV. I knew your home was converted from an old bank, but I didn't realize it was your home until i saw your Def4's. You've got a beautiful home! | |
| Zu Druid & Definition Roundup Spirit - context is important (as Phil stated). The context from which I agreed with Keith (I.e. "slight inherent leanness") is not that the Def4's are lean compared to the universe of high-end speakers. They bear no resemblance to the many Thiel-... |
