| Speakes for SET amp I am thinking the Zu Definition or Presence would be something to look at. :) | |
| Just got the PS Audio Perfectwav DAC -- Amazing The digital volume control is not going to make a huge negative impact on the sound. Depends on your amp and where you have the knob. But there are ways to do it right and ways to do it wrong. Ask Wadia how they get the digital volume control that... | |
| Surround Receiver For Zu Druid ? If you are set on using a receiver for your Druids, look into some used Sunfire. They made some very nice sounding receivers in their day and should be fairly reasonably priced on the used market. | |
| Rear speaker options / seating question I am in kind of the same situation in my room. Although, I have lots of width to work with and an attic above. I plan on doing some in ceiling speakers and place them as far apart as I can, and as far away from the back wall as I can without compr... | |

| any reasons NOT to buy a peachtree nova? They will be releasing a Pre/DAC version of the Nova. It should be out in 2010 sometime. I do not know the exact date. But maybe they will be at CES? | |
| Efficient Dynamic Speaker with low-end punch? Zu Druid. | |
| Good musical sub under $500 If you can find a demo, or squeeze another $100, try the Martin Logan Dynamo. I have one for my computer system and its lovely. Blends very well with my B&W M1s. | |
| REL or Martin Logan? I love the ML subs...until I heard the Descent when it came out, my top favorite was the HSG-18 we had in the demo theater. We put the Descent in and I loved it even more. It didnt have the "guts" of the Velo, but it sounded better...especially on... | |
| Retail Music Stores Gone I shopped at a "mom and pop" music shop in my teens...and I try to shop at the local shop now...but sometimes, out of convenience, I go to Best Buy...its just up the road. And they are normally cheaper...not that a $3 difference is enough for me t... | |
| Boise, Idaho Is the club still "together"? No posts in a while. | |
| Zu Druid questions Just to confirm, yes Zu does break in the speakers now. I saw the burn-in rack myself. I think Sean said they get 100 hours before they leave. | |
| Which components knocked you out on first listen? Vandersteen 1,2,3 speakers and 2WQ sub....first exposure to high end when I was 14 or so.B&W Silver Signature (with Krell front-end)...I was 16 or 17. The sound seduced me further into the hi-fi world.Martin Logan Prodigy, with Musical Fidelit... | |
| Zu Druid questions Duke,I appreciate your response as well. I agree that both ways of looking at things are important. I just feel that your ears should outweigh any measurement and test results. Yes, you can get some idea of what a speaker may or may not do in your... | |
| Zu Druid questions Duke - I see where you are coming from. I do. It really depends on what "Y" is. For example, you could say that speaker "X" sounds "lean" because "it only has a 6" woofer and cant play low frequencies well".....that would be a valid statement and ... |
