Another Zu Thread

Argh. OK, here's why Bartok should be excluded from the Zu threads - to date he has added no productive dialog in any way, shape, or form. Derailed threads often do not find their way back on track and this is destructive to genuine information-gathering efforts.

Bartok does not even try to contribute one iota of ANYTHING, he is merely lobbing rotten fruit on the stage. Until he brings something productive to the table, I will not "lay off" his tired act. Repeat after me - self imposed ban, self imposed ban. I see his word is as meaningless as his hollow rhetoric.

I wonder how his challenge might go using my choice of SET amplifiers.

Re: The Druid spikes - my feeling about them was that even with the designated carpet spikes, the bass gap could not be properly tuned. So, I spiked one of the Home Depot paver blocks to the floor below the carpet and used that as the base for the speakers. This was an effective strategy and I encourage anyone having issues tuning the bass in the Druids on carpet to try something similar.

And, while all the Zu speakers do sound better in the sweet spot, they are enjoyable anywhere in the room. I will be hosting a sizable listening session in my home this upcoming Sunday and I'm not worried at all about the many different spots the listeners will be sitting.

RE Bartok,

Everybody has the right to make stupid posts. We've all done it.

However, he abuses that privelege.

I must second Undertow's suggestion that Bartokfan appropriate a pair of Zu speakers to compare to his Tylers. There is an old expression which I have always valued. It says, "Lead, follow, or get out of the way". It is high time that ole Bfan do just that, instead of buzzing us perpetually like a mosquito on meth. I agree with Miklorsmith that Bfan makes no useful contribution and serves as a counterproductive and often damaging distraction. It's time to vote him off the island unless he can provide something positive and substantive to the discussion.

Does Bartokfan actually have Tyler speakers or just wish he had them. Paul?

Paul has Thor loudspeakers with SEAS drivers, which fueled his interest in Tyler loudspeakers since they also use SEAS. This has been mentioned by Paul in past threads. He endeavors to own Tyler loudspeakers one day.
