Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3?
After all my trials and tribulations with amps, I've settled on Quads II 40s. They have an excellent balance of dynamics, air, and tone. They are also the most inexpensive pair of amps I've had in my system. Go figure.

Jcote- I would love to hear your Cortese at some point. I've had the SIT-2, various SETs, and many others in my Zu Def4-based room. I currently am using Quads.Cheers,KeithR

ARC's new REF-75
Kana813- I'm sorry that I don't listen to boring typical audiophile music. FYI- that "crappy" Alice in Chains track got raves reviews in numerous rooms. One dealer bought the album that afternoon. I also heard the Ref 75 on 3-4 of my reference cut... 
ARC's new REF-75
Funny. I thought tonality in the midrange was the Ref 75 big weakness. I will say if you like current arc gear, it will please you. 
integrated for zu definition 3
I would get a used Mastersound Due Venti and buy Siemens EL34s. Stunning sound for the money and will be around $22-2500. 
What is the minimum distant for Zu?
I set my Definitions with the listening position at 1.25x the tweeter distance apart this weekend. Best setup I have had. Also like it toe'd out at maybe 1/3 of the inner cabinet showing. 
Wilson Sophia III vs Sasha
I would buy Sophia due to amplifier flexibility
