Another Zu Thread

Sorry - I'm sure this is in the archives, but I've been reading them for several hours and haven't come up with anything super definitive.

Can anybody comment on what setup works best with the Druids and/or the Definitions? I have read >10ft to the listener for the Definitions.

Does the floor material matter? I have read that they need to be placed on hard surfaces, not carpet - true?

They appear to work in a fairly standard triangle pattern - separated by X feet, user seated Y feet away.

Toe in? Do these speakers do the "head in a clamp thing" or does it support multiple listeners reasonably well?

Distance from back / side walls?

Any help would be appreciated, either in direct answers or point me to a thread that discusses all the physical setup issues.

I will probably try some beefed up spikes at some point.

Miklorsmith, all kidding aside, give some "beefed up spikes" particularly Audiopoints a try. You have nothing to lose. Start looking to see if you have any thank you notes. :) Keep us posted when you do the deed, regardless of whose spikes you use....best, warren

Hey Undertow

Just wondering, I see you can get threaded spikes. Will they fit the Definitions?

Thanks

yes, I forgot the thread count per inch, but the Zu boys will give you the scoop. I purchased threaded spikes from Starsound. It's a common thread count....

I tried the Audiopoints on my previous speakers and they didn't make a hill of beans difference. And on the Audiopoint discs they were actually muddy. I sent them back for a refund.

I also tried the Audiopoints under my components. I preferred the DH Golden Sound ceramic cones.
