Zu Soul Superfly
Gopher: I did not like sound of druid on spikes in carpet. My room eats enough bass as it is, this made things much worse. I did not get the "more planted" sound that Phil refers to, my bass was just even more eaten.I also cannot tell you what woo... 
Please...Advice For The Speakerly Challenged
Try Zu Soul.May not have "detailed" enough HF for your tastes, but they have money back return gaurantee so you can try it in your own home.No dealers, so they are used to shipping things out, taking them back.Room acoustics are critical.

Phil: Yes -- audessey was what I was trying to remember. I don't know if they have well integrated with any reasonable price floorstander yet. Either way, I have not loved the sound of any dEQ system but this is matter of taste.It is fine you don'... 
Zu Soul Superfly
Phil: I take sound-centric position, not gear centric position. Placement and room is how your low MF, upper bass, and bass will sound, regardless of amps. I also have not heard good results with some of the amps you recommend AND I disagree with ... 
Zu Soul Superfly
Audiofeil: Thank you for injecting some reality into discussion!Suppose you have high power SET with Zu? Like aleph 60? I would like to think problems I have heard with Zu & SET are the obviously inadequate W, not anything to do with topology ...

Gopher: Good for you, and you are 100% correct, most people including audiophiles do not put in effort.You can see this clearly here on audiogon. Lots of discussion over what is best $1000 interconnect, no discussion on fact that corner loaded lef... 
Zu Soul Superfly
Phil:You seem to have me confused with salesperson or marketer. I am neither. I am a Zu fan, and I think that they would benefit from people being more honest about their products.A non-audiophile music lover should stick with their 128kb mp3 and ... 
Zu Soul Superfly
Paulfolbrecht:It is certainly possible I will hear a class-d that does not sound like another class-d. I hope it sounds better.I am merely stating fact that tri-path sounded as good (or bad) as $1000 Rotel.I am not one of those people who thinks j... 
Zu Soul Superfly
Phil:I am so sorry. When you said "you'd be surprised about the number of people for whom a 5db difference of any kind just doesn't register" I thought you meant I'd be surprised about the number of people for whom a 5db difference of any kind jus... 
Zu Soul Superfly
Paulfolbrecht:It is entirely possible I will not be able to tell the difference between those amps I mention. After I hear them, I will say one way or the other.I can hear strain with low power t-amp (below ~50 WPC) which I do not hear with 100 WP... 
Room acoustics how ? My image is not centered
Get "Get Better Sound" by Jim Smith. You may have micro-misalignment you can fix with that book.Download free RTA application for iPhone, run pink noise from speakers, and see what you get at listening position. Then repeat with each channel indiv...

I have been singularly unimpressed by classD amplification, whether $30 t-amp or $1000 Rotel. They both sound the same, except Rotel has more watts (it's ICE implementation).with classD, I say, don't spend money on fancy implementation. It all sou... 
Zu Soul Superfly
LOL!HK3490 will be step up from what I have now. I am serious, it's the amp I'm going to get.The horn mounted supertweeter means Soul will probably still be pretty directional, so toe-in will make big difference to how soundstage resolves. You can... 
Zu Soul Superfly
Glad you like the Ctaudio15.I was actually in the same place when I bought my first Zus. Did not know much about speakers, repaired 30 year old speakers I bought from neighbours when they were cleaning out their garage, and now me and my family ar... 
Zu Soul Superfly
Phil:It is perfectly OK that we have different opinions about speakers, music, Zu etc. That is what makes hobby fun.However, I feel that we do not do Zu, or any speaker, any favors by not being honest about its function. If Bjesien looks elsewhere...
