| Decision between Zu Definition OR VS DB99 I owned the Druids and upgraded to the Def's. I've compared in the same room with the same equipment. The Def's keep the strengths of the Druids (speed, immediacy, tone) and add deep bass, even more power handling, a more refined top-end, and a bi... | |
| Zu Tone/Druid Tonal Anomalies Well, the Definitions in my room currently are showing a 12 db rise in the same area you're talking about and higher. I'm measuring from the listening seat and the rise is obvious there. In fact, it's so obvious that I can hear it ringing off the ... | |
| How come there is no thread on the RealityCheck? airy - Pertaining to treble which sounds light, delicate, open, and seemingly unrestricted in upper extension. A quality of reproducing systems having very smooth and very extended HF response. (Stereophile Glossary) | |
| Anyone hear the Von Schweikert DB-99? I have Zu Definitions - similar high-efficiency design with powered "sub", internal. I get a little hum from mine too, though it's not audible from the listening seat as the woofers fire in the rear. Sean at Zu told me they could kill the hum, but... | |
| Zu Tone/Druid Tonal Anomalies The Druids I owned showed no such spike. At all. They were tonally mellow and dynamically large. The Definitions I have in my room are activating some wierd room modes that I am working to deal with, but it's not a function of the speakers.Sounds ... | |
| How come there is no thread on the RealityCheck? I have been running a Gary Koh-type burner rig for about a year. In my mind, there is no doubt the discs are better sounding. Other systems and their owners have sided with me on this. Mr. Koh's Melody discs are not available in the US, though I'v... | |
| List speakers thast can be put cloeto rear wall My Zu Definitions are currently 3" from the front wall with no bass overhang problems and excellent imaging/depth. Remarkable. | |
| Modwright SWL 9.0SE Pre ... your thoughts welcome It doesn't take any time to sound good. You'll be thrilled out of the box, though it does mellow (in a good way) over the first couple days and weeks. | |
| Modwright SWL 9.0SE Pre ... your thoughts welcome Nice review.I've had mine mixed in with a bunch of different gears and it's sounded great with all. Don't be afraid to toy! :)Congratulations on your new, baby, um, preamp. | |
| How come there is no thread on the RealityCheck? http://www.positive-feedback.com/Issue21/cjdiaries.htm - a follow-up. George 2.0 is taking the world by storm! I've made 5 copies of my discs my way and have sent them to Mr. Louis. He is making copies of the same originals his way, then sending t... | |
| Single Driver Horn vs Multi driver efficient spker I've owned the Druids and now Definitions. Both are outstanding and fear no music/volume. They have the intimacy of single-drivers with the tonal balance and drive of multi-ways.They are picky with electronics. Specifically, they must be quiet. Pr... | |
| A brutal review of the Wilson Maxx Way off topic, but I own the Definitions and they defy understanding or categorization.Back on topic, the hostility and conspiracy BS that has become prevalent among the communicating public (us) has gotten way out of hand. I for one really apprec... | |
| Modwright SWL 9.0SE Pre ... your thoughts welcome I'm using the Modwright to a Red Wine Audio Clari-T to Zu Definition speakers. I haven't heard anybody saying the Modwright isn't a good match in any circumstances. But, I also think some people might prefer the tubier sound of 6sn7's like DeHavil... | |
| anyone heard zu definition speakers? Yeah, these buggers will play obscenely loud. And, bass doesn't get compressed when they're loud. There truly is no substitute for driver surface area. I live in a 3-story house. The stairwells don't match up. Last week, the family was playing in ... | |
| Modwright SWL 9.0SE Pre ... your thoughts welcome I own the Modwright and love it. It doesn't color the sound, per se, but adds tremendous dimension. I'm temporarily using a volume-attenuated amplifier. I tried the setup with and without the Modwright. While I couldn't detect any obvious loss in ... |
