Decision between Zu Definition OR VS DB99


Trying to decided between these two spectacular speakers. I have not listen to either of them and will not get a opportunity to do so. Hence asking for suggestion/opinions regarding these spks. My room size is 22 by 13 and basically listen to all types of music from classical to rock at quite loud volumes. The spks will be driven via Audio Aero Capitol power amp and cdp.
Thanks

I'd like to hear some comments on these two comparisons also. I own the 99's and have posted several times on my comments about their sound. Feel free to look those up by doing a search. I Use them with Consonance Cyber 211 mono blocks-would highly recommend these. Read enjoythemusic.com Dec review of them. Nice review.

It goes without saying that I do enjoy the 99's but since I have never heard the Zu's I will refrain from making a blind/deaf comment regarding the 99's being insanly great in comparison to the Zu's. Don't like other's doing that-won't do it myself.

Best

For what it's worth Gregm's identification of how the 99's sound from the specs is spot on. Meaty/dynamic and very good sound imaging. I would add that with the 99's rear firing tweeter with ambience control one can adjust for pinpoint or focused imaging to more dispersion with the turn of the dial. Sound stage depth/width/highth are all there. Singer is in the room. I would add "clean" to the descriptor list for the 99s.

Still-- gotta be someone out there who has heard/compared both. How about those who have attended audio shows?


Come on--Deciding on which of these speakers sounds best is like trying to decide which high end wine tastes better: Depends on what your eating, what the ambiance is, and most importantly-who your with.

AND-if you an't ever drank it- don't talk about what it tastes like from reading the label.

P.S: for those who are curious NO I am NOT a wine salesman :) Happy New Year!!
