Zu Definition 1.5 vs Merlin VSM-MXe

Hi,

My music is eclectic but i listen mostly to electronic, rock, jazz and vocals. Not so much classical.

I just wondered after reading the 6moons review...it would be nice to drive the Zu's with flea power digital amps.

I also read about the PMC AML1 active monitors..they seem nice too.

Its going to be a tough choice!

Thank you for your comment so far.

Talk about limiting......

As an owner of Def. Pro's, I completely disagree with the classical music "limitation".

Between two such different speakers, I certainly would make any and all efforts, including traveling, to hear both before buying. Give the Def's some time, as some people find their ears don't "get it" immediately. Some people don't get them ever. But, if you ending up liking them you probably will love them.

I've used mine with tiny digital amps and SET tubes, both to great effect.

I'm not going to get into a long discussion here, it's all been said before. Search the archives for previous discussion. I don't know how much is left but I'm sure it's plenty to get both sides of the discussion.

>>Lets get real here<<

Deal!! You first.

hi patrick,
it would be helpful to inform the group what sized room you would be listening to the speakers in as they would sound their best in different volumes. it appears that you are willing to try different amps to better suit the speakers you choose which is a very good thing. they will both sound their best with very different ancillaries because of their particular design concept.
thank you,
