Relocation and experimentation brought me away from medium efficieny 2-way Sason's and on to high efficiency, crossoverless, Zu Audio Definitions. It has been a very rewarding switch.

I started life in the high efficiency world ~4 years ago with the Zu Druids Mk04-08 and was mightily impressed...better in what matters to me musically than the over twice expensive Ridgestreet Audio Sason's. I quickly picked up a used pair of Definition Mk1.5's and quickly realized the Definitions were a step value improvement over the Druids. Within 6 months, sent the Defs back to Zu for upgrade to Mk1.9 and a change from the black nextel finish to piano black gloss.

It's been a blissful 3 years...until reading opinions on the new Definition Mk IV. Just when you think you're out, they pull you back in!!! Seriously, for the first time in the 25 years I've been involved in the high-end, I mostly just listened to music and didn't fuss. I did, of course, have mild criticisms, but unlike in the past, I didn't feel compelled to "solve" the problems because: 1.) they weren't keeping me from enjoying music and 2.) I didn't want to give up a single thing my system did right to chase another elusive "attribute".
