Help me understand how to optimize bass on the Zu Definition Mk IV
David, I'd be skeptical about Sean's advice on simple rubber footers. If you truly need greater bass warmth, trial the IsoAcoustics Gaia footers. I found they were outperformed by the Revopods, but in a situation where bass is MIA, they could be t...

Give it a go, I certainly had success to start w RBs. Just take care on physically placing them under the Zus, they're obv not fixed.Part of the joy of this hobby (or is that pain? LOL) is both incremental impvts, and occasional big leaps. For me,...

Temicxoch, all this stuff is buyer beware, and critically, room dependent. My old space was a converted industrial loft with a bombproof solid concrete floor overlaid w timber, which meant that the option of Rollerblocks replacing spikes under the...

Phil, you don't know the half of it LOL.I'm trying GSM's suggestion of subs at 45Hz and 9/10 Level.My default setting is 38Hz and 6.5/10.

My Def 4s are nos.179 and 180. Where does this fit in the production run re sum amps' gain?

GSM, I've just tried yr settings and really quite like the sound. 
Help me understand how to optimize bass on the Zu Definition Mk IV
Temixoch, good luck. There's no doubt that 4x 10" woofers firing 6" into a wall would produce a very pressurised bass, whereas 1x 12" firing down into the floor is a whole different concept.My Revopods raise the Def4s 1.5" off the floor (I also si...

Temixoch, the bass on the Def4 is certainly a different beast than on my Def2. I'm assuming the 1.5 is similar to the 2, w four 10" subs rear firing.The trick to getting it right is to drop the Low-Pass Filter to 38-42Hz. I'm at 38Hz, as is Phil. ... 
Zu Druid 6
Phil, after a 100A fuse, I split the power (from before the feed to the rest of the chapel) to take a dedicated 18mm SWA cbl up to my audio room, and then daisy chain a bespoke consumer unit and 8kVA Westwick 8K balanced pwr transformer, running s... 
Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure
Exlibris, I really think Zu Druid 6 could be right up yr street. It may be a little fussier than the 5 on amp demands as 213Cobra contends, but Zu is a highly emotional and immersive experience. Try to get a demo.

Tbh, that could apply to many on forums incl myself LOL.Who did you have in mind?

I believe Ford lost a lot of sales in Latin America when a fancy dancy name they gave a new model translated into Spanish came out close to "not quite a man who prefers to stay at home close to his mother" LOL NOT!

Hi J, the SE2SEs w 1948 GE 211s (not the current spec using GM70s). I would love to consider the Magmas w 170W transmitter tubes. But at £45k, a bit beyond me. IMHO, I'm not sure about the 120-130W Transmitters, they're a little too analytical for... 
Zu Druid 6
J, it was kinda a necessity. My old room was 800 sq ft/10,000 cub ft, a tall order for 25W Black Shadows to fully saturate. My Nats are 70W w serious Iron, and this may be an underestimate, closer to 90-100W.Even 101dB spkrs w no energy-sapping cr...

Phil, any experience of Nats on Zu?Esp my 70W SE2SE 211s?
