| Rank Stereophile, & why no Von Schweikert reviews Rgs92,They don't write for us because we are the lunatic fringe. We actually know as much, or more, about this stuff than they do.Additionally, I have always felt that the glossy rags are seeking the well-heeled, uninitiated buyer for their advert... | |
| Decision between Zu Definition OR VS DB99 Since it appears that it could help my credibility, I will confess to being unemployed and unaffiliated. That said, after visiting the Zu factory and buying a pair of their Druids, I will allow that I am not entirely unbiased in this matter. I wou... | |
| Rank Stereophile, & why no Von Schweikert reviews Has anyone else noticed that this forum seems to be regularly peppered with queries comparing Von Schweickert to something else? Makes me a bit wary if this is a marketing ploy. | |
| Rank Stereophile, & why no Von Schweikert reviews The purpose of Stereophile is not to deliver news and reviews to the audience but to deliver an audience to the advertisers. $10 grand a page to advertise versus $10/year to subscribe. Pretty obvious, I'd say. | |
| How many speakers ouyt there are 100+ db sens.???? Hemihorn,You might want to add Zu speakers to your recommended list. They are rated at 101 db efficiency and have a nominal impedance of 12 ohms with a low of 8 ohms. These specification should be ideal for small tube amps I would think. Do you ha... | |
| please help, I need a good cd player used is ok If you can be happy with two channel, as I am, the Sony DVP-S7000 does very well playing CDs and DVDs. The transport in it is very fine and would provide a stepping stone for later D to A upgrades. I've seen these on Audiogon for as little as $140. | |
| Decision between Zu Definition OR VS DB99 Wc65mustang,I agree completely. Not only did Bornie not identify his prejudice but it appears he never intended to. Only when he was outed by another member did he own up and even then he claimed it wasn't necessary. That explains why he did not a... | |
| Decision between Zu Definition OR VS DB99 At ease. Nothing to defend here. If you like your speakers, That's fine. I didn't hear Phil attacking the DB 99s at all. What I got was a physics lesson. "No crossover" is superior to any crossover, whether it is Wilson's, Von Schweickert's, or Bo... | |
| Decision between Zu Definition OR VS DB99 Phil,You write very well and your observations support my experience. It seems to me inevitable that Zu will insinuate themselves into a great many homes over time but I wonder why the progress is so slow. As soon as I learned about this Druid spe... | |
| Decision between Zu Definition OR VS DB99 I have new Druids and I can tell you that they will play louder than anyone should listen. Loud enough to damage your hearing. This is the most original, engaging and exciting audio product I have ever bought in 30 years of perpetual experimentati... | |
| Krell Intergrateds..how come nobody likes em? If the Pentagon built power amps they would look and sound like Krell.I had a KAV 300i for awhile. Never fed it anything over 40 Hz and it did O.K. Seemed like cheap junk to me. Macho wrapping around a cheap, flimsy build quality. I think Krell is... | |
| Modwright SWL 9.0SE Pre ... your thoughts welcome Dan,Take your time and grow slowly. Let the marketplace find you. At present you have only just begun to be noticed. If you are building for the masses, you must give the masses time to find you. Only the unusually sharp and alert clientele has ap... | |
| Modwright SWL 9.0SE Pre ... your thoughts welcome Three things pushed me over the edge to order this preamp yesterday. Srajan's review, the way Dan Wright conducts himself on the telephone and this thread. Thanks everybody.And Merry Christmas. | |
| Decision between Zu Definition OR VS DB99 The Druid comes much closer to the performance of the Definitions than an educated guess would allow. Someone wrote not long ago that the Druid provides 75% of the performane for a third of the price. If anything that is an underestimate. The Drui... | |
| Decision between Zu Definition OR VS DB99 Gregm - Zu makes all their own drivers. Each cabinet contains 4 x 10 inch powered woofers in the rear. Each front sports two 10 inch mids and a super tweeter in the MTM arrangement you described. These present 101 db efficiency at 6 ohms. This is ... |
