  The Deja Vu sound is not for everyone, on that I totally agree. Vu would probably be the first to tell you he values musicality over frequency extension - his sound is definitely not for Wilson fans.
  
  I've been visiting Vu's store for years and sometimes a system will cause me to leave scratching my head. Other times it will be magical. This year I hear they'll have a custom designed Jensen Imperial clone...way too big and expensive for me to ever consider, but I can't wait to hear it.

    Hi Michael,
    
    Vu once bragged to me that his system design philosophy is to mate extremely warm (colored) sounding electronics with very aggressive loudspeakers. His inability to recognize/produce good sound is the least of his problems. My one and only dealing with DeJa Vu Audio was a fiasco. IMHO, Vu is unprofessional, lacks integrity, and not very bright.

      OT: That philosophy is similar to one a seemingly well regarded reviewer was spouting recently. To paraphrase: audio success lies in matching components with vastly different sound/tonal signatures. Bollocks.
