Zu Definition 4 height?
My gap is 1.25". I use a combination of the rounded spikes provided by Zu and Yamamoto wood bases/footers that have inset ceramic disks to protect my wood floors. 
How old are your speakers
My bedroom speakers are Celestion SL700, and my guest room speakers are Rogers LS3/5a. One of the systems that I assembled for my girlfriend uses SpicaTC50. All three are classics and pre-2000 although they could be older since I bought them pre-o... 
Input on speaker sizing for a lively room.
I also have a large space. One thing that I learned (the hard way) is the importance of in-home auditioning. Very few B&M stores have large listening rooms. Speakers that sounded great in the store "died" when I got them home. Your budget is s... 
Zu Definition 4 height?
My experience parallels yours. Both the transition from Def3s to Def4s and the proper gap. 
looking for a new cd player........
If you can find a pre-owned Audio Refinement CDP. . . 
How well respected our EAR products
I had a CD player once. Great sound. But after a while it developed problems reading CDs. The company was no help. The U.S. representative was great and put me in touch with their #1 technician. The problem turned out to be a manufacturing flaw th... 
300B tubes for AN Kegon Set amps?
I have experience with both the Sophia RP and Takatsuki. Both are good, but the Takatsuki is superior - by a lot. (Honestly, not even close. The only advantage of the Sophias is cost.) I have had no reliability issues with the Takatsukis. I have a... 
Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes
Although it may not be analogous and although I am not sure that I understand the principles involved, I had a similar experience with my Ancient Audio 300b SET. It was built with a protective circuit that proved rather touchy. As I learned throug... 
High value, high efficiency speakers for SET amps
It is not exactly the same, but the ZuDef4s have built-in powered subs and are most often paired with SETs to good effect. 
High value, high efficiency speakers for SET amps
KeithrI tried 3 SETs on my Zu Def IVs. First, an EAR859, then a Yamamoto 08, then a DejaVu 2a3. I thought the EAR859 to be too sterile. The Yamamoto 08 (45 SET) and DejaVu 2a3 did not have enough oomph. (Caveat: I have very long speaker wire runs ... 
Most enjoyable speaker you heard under $800??
Spica TC-50 
Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes
Fortunately, as I have commented previously, I am very happy with the Takatsukis. 
Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes
I tried to order a pair of Elrogs. It seems as if the current wait time is so long that at least one US importer has suspended importing Elrog 300b tubes. 
Art Audio - anyone know what's up?
You might contact CommandAV in the DC area. They used to represent AA. They might be able to refer you to someone in your area for future assistance. 
High value, high efficiency speakers for SET amps
I am a fan of Zu speakers. In part because of the interactions that I have had with everyone from the company, because they offer in-home trial periods, and because they stand behind their products. They also sometimes have refurbished speakers av...
