| Why no love for Integra's? Thanks everyone. I am aware of the Integra Research line. However, I've also read that Integra was the Onkyo upper line, much like Sony ES and Pioneer Elite. Audiooracle hit the nail on the head and this was exactly what I was thinking. A lot of f... | |
| Zu Druid questions Morphius lives!!!! :0)Undertow is right about the Odyssey not being a good match. I talked to the folks at Zu about this amp and they think it has to do with too much damping. Normally a good thing, but not so with the Zu's aparently.Armstrod, I'm... | |
| Zu Druid questions I've been living with my Druids for the past couple of months now so I thought I would give a quick update.Forget everything I said about the soundstage, details, etc. Everyone said these speakers take some time to really open up and they do.I jus... | |
| VTL ST-85 vs. VTL ST-150 or rather EL34 vs 6550 Cheesehead, what is the favorite ss amp you refer to?JC51373 who did you order your amp from? I've been interested in the VTL's for some time, but don't have a dealer that's close. Did you get an in-home trial period?Thanks | |
| Zu Druid questions I tried my Zu's with 18" tiles and moved them out into the room and did not achieve better results. I didn't have the Tiles on spikes, just setting on top of the carpet using the weight of the speaker to push them down.In my room the bass extensio... | |
| Do you ...Center Channel? I always use one for HT, but not for music unless listening for 5.1 SACD, which I normally listen to in two channel as well.I have an entertainment center which surrounds my TV. Equipment in the side tiers and center channel above. There is a gap ... | |
| Best integrated for rock music under $1,500? Suicane, how about the Krell 400Xi? I haven't personally heard this amp, but it recevied some really good reviews.I have also been kicking around the idea of getting a integrated and amp and I too listen primarily to classic rock. While doing my r... | |
| Zu Druid questions Ken, thanks so much. Perhaps they will open and surpass the Ushers in my set-up as well, but right now they don't in the areas mentioned. As you said, different equipment, room, etc. What amazes me is that I don't consder them as good in all these... | |
| Zu Druid questions I've had the Druids in my system for three days now. They are different from any other speaker I've heard. When hearing them for the first time I was not impressed. It sounded like they were distant, no bass (didn't have the spikes installed), and... | |
| Zu Druid questions Shandorne, thanks, but it's not really that big of a risk. They have a 60 day in home trial and if I don't like them all I lose is shipping cost.I will indeed be sorry to see the 2.3i's gone. They're a very special speaker for sure and one of my a... | |
| Zu Druid questions Thanks Ken. And yes, they do have the 60 day trial period listed as well. After reading the add again, I do see that they are the version IV's too.Looks to be a really good deal. We'll have to see how they stand up against my 6381's.If there as go... | |
| Zu Druid questions OK Guys, I already took the plunge. I was looking at speakers on ebay and found that Zu had a limited number of the Druids on sale for just two grand so I jumped on it.I tried to call them to verify that these were in fact their latest model, etc.... | |
| Zu Druid questions Thanks to everyone for the responses. Once I get my 2.3i's sold and get back from vacation I'm going to order a pair.Of course I'll post a follow-up when appropriate.Again; many thanks. | |
| Zu Druid questions Casouza, thanks so much for this informative post. I could care less about measurments, only the sound. I'm not sure I know what you mean when referrng to the tone. I like the sound of the real thing for sure, but I also like hearing the details. ... | |
| What Is The Try a Sony 999ES without mods and see what you think. There's a reason this unit is a good one to mod.The SACD performance even without the mods is very good. It has a feature they call sharp/slow which modifies the sound (not sure how) and is ver... |
