| EASY SET UP ALL IN ONE RECIEVER EXIST? I bought my friend an Arcam CDP/receiver that also reads USB devices. I paired it with a pair of Allison CD6 speakers for a pretty nice and very simple bedroom system. | |
| Zu Druid & Definition Roundup As Charles mentions, I have a 300b SET (made by Ancient Audio) that sounds great with my Def 4s. My space is large - a 15x24x16' tall primary listening space that is one end of a lively 45x24x16' overall volume. I use Takatsuki TA-300b. I have nev... | |
| Classical, Spanish & South American Guitar Jewels This is a bit obscure, but quite good: Toccata by Melbourne Guitar Quartet | |
| Room acoustics in a former church sanctuary? I converted an old bank. Not cheap, of course. But I have something unique. Personally, I think that this is worth a lot. | |
| Favorite 300B: Sophia vs KR Is this true of all 300b? Or only Sophias? | |

| What is your most beautiful component? I have a very simple three component system: Zu Def 4s and Ancient Audio CDP and SET. All three are beautiful. Their physical appearance was a consideration when I selected each of them. Given the current number of high quality audio products, the... | |
| my quest for computer desktop speakers Ancient Audio has developed a computer speaker that is called "Oslo" and available from StereoDesk. While I have not heard this product, I have heard other Ancient Audio speakers and own their electronics. | |
| Zu Druid & Definition Roundup I will assume that the cross-over setting (as well as the other settings) is room and, perhaps, also speaker position sensitive. Sean set up my Def 4s. After much fiddling, he set the cross-over at 45Hz. | |
| Speakers that can be placed close to the back wall Any Audio Note speaker, some Linn speakers, and Von Schweikert Audio VR-35 are designed specifically to placed close to the back wall. I have my Zu Def 4s close to the back wall and they sound great. | |
| Zu Druid & Definition Roundup Also, there are two generations of Sophia 845 amps. There are examples of each for sale on Audiogon. I would be curious if anyone has heard both. |
