Description

Updated 6/4/13. Rives L1 designed room---room done first before new speakers/amp were chosen.

Zus sound awesome---great resolution, dynamics, and efficiency for multiple amplifiers. I do find they need 20+ watts for best use in my larger room...

Installed a Brinkmann analog rig recently to move in a different direction.

Tboooe- I'm now in MDR in a smaller space, but you are welcome to hear the Dart sometime.

Pehare- they sound great and are well constructed. I'm not a cables guy, so good enough for me.

System edited: Lots of changes in January 2014. Auditioned many amps and ultimately decided to step up to the DarTZeel and consolidate 5 boxes.

The Def4s and BADA are the stalwarts in my system- amps have been a PITA. I'm hearing the Dart 8550 this weekend- could be my final stop. If I continue to enjoy analog, a Brinkmann Bardo will be purchased next year. Power conditioner probably in the mix then as well.

Hope he enjoys the (significant) upgrade

Rwanda- I found the Tri soft despite the seemingly great build quality.
