Two big sounds got-ta face off

gonna be interesting.. Keep us posted.. Do you plan to run both on the same amp for comparison? One might be better than the other depending on the amp feeding them I would guess. Also, are you using the Standard definitions with built in plate amps?

I would bet the Vandy 5A would blow away the ZU, but wrong or not I would love to find out.

You own the Zu Definitions, yes?

ok here we go,now have the defs fed by the VAC 30/30 sig mk3,the player is direct to the amp and is the opus 21 modded by GNS.the speaker cables are Zu Ibus and interc to the amp is Discovery sig.

So, now you're thinking of replacing them with Vandersteen 5A?

What amplifier are you using?

i did buy the Zu's,and am presently feeding them with the little VAC 30/30.signal coming fron an Opus 21 modded buy Steve @ GNS.i really like the Definitions,make no mistake there.they truly sing.but,have a real itch with the 5A's i gotta scratch.in house taste-test.will A-B with same gear.

Well, it will be a fun to read about your comparison.
