GopherWhat problems do you hear in your system that you think new cables will fix and why? 
Do you need a pre-amp with a digital front-end?
Thanks you all.It sounds like it is perfectly possible to plug power amp directly into analog output from iMac.In future, I can of course add external DAC and preamp, but is not requirement.May make most sense for me right now to spend all $$ on a...

Gopher: My issue with Druids at flea-watt amps is not in bass, it is in midrange. And it has nothing to do with level.I am surprised you like your VIRTUE. I have given up on class-d.Themadmilkman: Yes, it is lack of exaggerated HF that make Druid ...

Venicelake:When I listen to my audio system I have very specific ideas about where it performs to my satisfaction and where it does not perform. I know what I like and do not like about my sound very clearly, and I also have clear ideas about what...

People become passionate about this stuff. is OK, is part of hobby.I think HF extension is biggest difference, Zu does not have it (which I think is much more natural than the artificial hi fi extension). They do sound different because of that.an...

Gopher,"I'm really confused as to why Zu speakers have been so controversial over the years."Because:A- They do not have "hi-fi" top end. Hi-Fi sound has extreme resolution/exaggerated HF. This make "hi-fi" crowd not like them.B- Measure badly, an...

Phil: Despite my jibes at you and our disagreements, I really do appreciate the factual data you share about Souls. And yes, distinctions like wide vs widER dispersement is exactly area I am curious about in new FRD.I also very much appreciate the...

Mike -- I can go through Phil's posts and pull out contradictory quotes. I have no interest in doing so, and Phil will probably squeal that I am taking him out of context. Worse, I will have to actually read them again and seeing "just plop them d... 
Subwoofer placement
with single sub have it in your listening chair then crawl around on hands and knees to find best spot while playing rolling bass line.corners or walls work well.Also, if you crossover at fairly high level (60Hz or higher) then try to keep sub wit...

Yes. There is something to be said about separate LF and mains. Or even separate LF, bass, and mains if you have tools to re-integrate.Anyway, eager to hear your report.

Naggots: It is interesting. You listen standing up, which unless you are very short places your ears much above top of speaker. In sitting position, ear is between center of FRD (tweeter) and supertweeter which seems more sensible to me for tonal ...

Naggot: Can you tell us more about your room setup? How directional have you set Druid FRD?I am very curious about how new Soul FRD work for someone who, for room reasons, has used Druid FRD very directional.

Gopher: Phil does not believe that room impacts sound, especially in bass.Therefore, he says that what you put your Souls on does not matter. It is "floor height insensitive' because it say so on the box.In reality, put different speaker on carpet...
