| Bat Rex Mono Amps with Wilson Maxx II you can't go wrong with BAT/Wilson.tube or SS is a personal choice- I prefer tube with your speakers efficiency, but some prefer SS and more bass. | |
| BAT VK75SE or ARC VT100 mk3 I found the VT100 to sound like SS. YMMV. | |
| has BAT priced itself out of the market? I think 19k for a stereo tube amp is a bit much. my 75SE was 8k 10 years ago. i know it should be higher now, but not that high. disclosure: long time BAT owner/fan | |
| Zu Druid & Definition Roundup Liked the Devore speakers guys, but I would find it hard to pay double a pair of Druid Vs for them :)I think the FRD and sublime top end of the Radian tweeter continue to impress to this day. I was struck yesterday how alive, open, and expressive ... | |
| Amp Short List for Zu Definition Mk. IV Audion and Melody for 845. As I recall LM not a great match.For SS, Valvet and DartzeelFor P/P, Quads and maybe EAR.The Melody 845 and Dart integrateds are superb. Dont underestimate them. Lots of help available on the Def thread as well. | |
| solid state integrateds that will hold their value DarTZeel. Then again, never seen one for sale. | |
| Zu Druid & Definition Roundup Hearing the Devore O96 tonight- will have a comparison to Zu soon :) | |
| Is there any 50W 300B SET monoblock out there? The issue with running any SET at this output is distortion. To put it another way, you never want to run a 300B at even 8 watts. | |
| Best Rock Album of 2014 New Pornographers "Bill Bruisers" is really, really good! (as is the sweet color vinyl/recording) | |
| Best Rock Album of 2014 Toddnkaya- listened to Strand of Oaks a couple times. I think the group has promise. Interesting combo (post punk with rock cues), but still pretty raw imo. Some of this is intentional, but I look forward to see them grow. | |
| Zu Druid & Definition Roundup fwiw, I had to bump my sub xover up to 65hz in my new room. Phil still preferred 40hz, but there was an obvious cavity in the sound. To me, very distracting as I could hear the sub come in low. | |
| Zu Druid & Definition Roundup KeithR here...been awhile. Have been working on getting the Def IVs setup in my new room. Still not optimal, but getting closer. Toe-in to come up next as my sweet spot is just too narrow. Sometimes I wish I had Soul Supremes or Druids which I fee... | |
| BAT Service I had a great BAT service experience years ago as well. Victor and Co. are great to deal with. | |
| Zu Audio Soul Supreme Impressions? Sounded fantastic in Newport. | |
| Your most disappointing purchase or audition? Rowland 301s- didnt last a week. |
