Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3?
I received my MK4s 10 days ago. I started with the 1.5, graduated to the 2.0, and now the 4.0. As much as I liked the Def2s, the 4s are a totally different speaker. The only similarities are in size (virtually identical to the 2.0) and looks. The ...

Have 300b MB want a killer pair of Hi-Eff speakers
I second Zu Def 2 - or, perhaps the soon to be released Def 3. My room is almost exactly your size, but with an 18' ceiling. I use a 300b SET. 
Building bedroom system.....speakers for it?

New Von Schweikert VR 33?
There are advantages to an in-home audition - especially one that can be done over 1-2 months. VS is not the only company to offer this to its customers. Yes, shipping is not cheap. And, yes, the return process is a pain in the butt. However, IMHO...

Thanks John. Could you comment on positioning? Specifically, how close to the wall behind the speakers is optimal or acceptable? 
Best Karmina Burana performance
Lots of options. Muti, Slatkin, among others. But if you can see it live as a ballet with full chorus, orchestra and soloists. . . it is amazing. 
Where do I go from Eva Cassidy?
Thanks for the 'heads-up" about Simply Eva.
