integrated for zu definition 3

I really have a stunning sound with the Viva 300 p

I might regret trying the 845 but from all that I can gather its a sonic match made for the Zu Definition 3's

So I will probably save a little more and get a good 845 based integrated or maybe seperates.

thanks,Scott

Hi Phil,
Thanks for clarifying the difference on the bass output from the Omen Defs to the definitions. I always assumed that the bass signal was independent of the main amp output, so you make a most excellent point.
I will still stand by the decware as it has the set magic with an abundance of very transparent and well defined bass. It mated very well with the Omen Defs and again, I would recommend that the OP call Sean at Zu and see his take on it, and if you are near me in the Bay Area I will drive it over one day as I would love to hear this combo, as I came very close to pulling the trigger on the Def mk iii's before I decided the better idea was to buy a house so that I can turn up the speakers as loudly as I want, rather than waiting daily for the neighbors to storm my apartment with large clubs!
Regardless, please keep us posted on your impressions......

If you are already getting stunning sound, then how is it going to get better? What is better than stunning?

breathtaking

Admittedly a Viva fan, but I don't think that there's anything in the price range you are thinking of that will match the tonality of the Viva you own now. Yes, there are amps that will play louder, but if you value that "in the room" presence, you aren't getting it for 3K. I haven't heard the Mastersound 845 amp, but I did own a Due Trente and, while it was a very nice amp, was much more neutral (colorless?)than the Viva. Personally, I would not sell the Viva until you have something you think you like better. Best of luck.
