| Capital Audio Fest 2018--show report Afrobeat jams on Zu... nice! Sounds like my house. | |
| Popular DAC that is known for its warm-ish sound? Get a DAC with good bass & dynamics and then plug it into a Decware ZRock2 to warm it up. Best of both worlds. | |
| I wonder how many audiophiles there are these days Getting back on topic (PLEEZE), it depends on how you define audiophile. For traditional, two-channel stereo systems with separate components, it is probably dying.I think the headphone scene is alive and well.Whether we like it or not, active sp... | |
| klipsch heresy 1 versus zu omen mk2 Have not heard Heresys (would like to) but I love my Omen DWs. They are not the best speaker I have heard, but they are the most fun. Big, dynamic, engaging sound. I play mine with both tubes and solid state amps, so your Wyred amp should be fi... | |
| Cannot find perfect sound +1 on the article Jon posted ...and therefore +1 to the poster who suggested high efficiency speakers. It seems like the OP wants a speaker that is less dynamically constrained. | |
| Why so few speakers have their price listed online What kind of fool buys speakers worth thousands of dollars without hearing them? What kind of fool buys speakers worth thousands of dollars simply based on a visit to a dealer showroom? C'mon man, nearly every speaker company that sells direc... | |
| Headphones as Models for Speakers? Interesting Read from Herb Reichert - Opinions Please The other truly difficult part of Herb's ideal is the "direct connective-ness". Headphones can connect directly to your ears. Speakers have to interact with the room. | |
| In need high-efficency speakers I'm a Zu Omen DW owner and love 'em, but in your case I would ignore all of our blather and just buy them both. Zu gives you 60 days in home with free returns. Crutchfield sells Heresys and also gives you 60 days and only charges $10 for returns... | |
| The Absolute Sound vs Stereophile Stereophile all day, every day. At least Art and Herb and Fremer have good (diverse) taste in music. Sorry folks but if you want to grow the hobby, the mags need to migrate away from reviewers who play nothing but classical and vocal, and gear d... | |
| Zu Druid & Definition Roundup Hoping @213cobra weighs in with his thoughts on Druid VI. His system with Druid VI is featured in monoandstereo.com. Phil, you have an awesome system. I don't know why but it kind of tickles me that you are converting your turntable signal to d... | |
| HAVE ALL SALES STOPPED ON AUDIOGON ??? Agreed. I put a piece up recently and did not get a whiff of interest, not even lowball offers, even after dropping the price 25%. I also look at a lot of gear for sale I'd love to buy but don't have room for, and it just sits there unsold. May... | |
| DO CABLES REALLY MATTER? Nah, analogous reasoning would be comparing audio to baking a cake and debating the use of different brands of sugar. And I didn't use any metaphors. | |
| DO CABLES REALLY MATTER? I'm not going to read through all 11 pages of this thread, but I did have a random thought and this seemed like the best spot for it...Suppose you had two speaker designers at your disposal, and you gave them both an identical set of a woofer and ... | |
| Anyone receive their Zu Druid VIs yet? Zu is running a good sale on Druid V right now. So tempting. I've got both pairs of my Zus nicely dialed in right now, so I'm hesitant to mess with it, but I've lusted for a pair of Druids for a long time and that's a good deal... | |
| Zu Soul Supreme Recap -- Owners, what are your preferred system pairings with them? How's the Taboo with no preamp, did you try that? |
