Which Zu for you
I keep looking a Zu but wonder about the 16 ohm impedance.Are all their speakers 16 ohm? Don't know that much about it, but am lead to believe that pushing a tube amp (Woo WA5 in my case) into such high resistance is hard on the transformer. Any t...

Check out ModWright Oppo if you want analog sound from a CD (SACD) player. Not in your price range but maybe nice to know about it anyway.http://www.theabsolutesound.com/articles/modwright-oppo-bdp-105-with-truth-modifications/I've got one and I o... 
Subwoofers.... one 10" or two 8"?
If you can phase the sub perfectly to the mains you can get a lot more impact from even a small sub. This requires a sub with a continuous phase adjustment. (Not just 0 degrees or 180 degrees.) If your prepro can’t set a delay for the mains the be... 
OPPO BDP-103 (NON Darby)

Is my room going to suck
The auto EQ on your sub should help.Maybe not your cup of tea, but you can get $100,000 SQ from $8000 in a good headphone/amp setup. (Think Abyss and Woo WA5LE)No more 7 mo olds here, but the rest of the family is happier when I use my headphones ... 
Your not a serious audiophile I'd you have??????
You are not serious if you haven't bought your wife a nice car because you feel a little guilty about how much $$$ you have spent that she doesn't know about.You are not serious if you can remember "how much that cost" when your wife asks. 
Your not a serious audiophile I'd you have??????
You are not serious if you are unwilling to pay your staff $20 each time to intercept UPS before they get to the front door. (Staff was 100 % until $7000 Headtrip headphone amp showed last week.)You are not serious if you do not recognize "Headtri...
