Anyone heard Zu Druid speakers?

Anyone heard them?
What do you think of them?

I am attempting to build a new system - starting with affordable high sensitivity speakers.
I listen only to acoustic music - and 90% of that is female vocal.

Are these likely to suit my tastes?

Thanks

Tvad...ditto on my account as well. I've not heard the Definitions, unfortunately, but the Druids (heard them in two systems) sounded sharply metallic, with discernible interference from the cabinet itself. I had a headache within minutes, and was unable to stay in either room. One of the rooms in which I heard the speakers was set up by Zu, so I'm unable to find an excuse for that result. In addition, the three others in our group had exactly the same reaction. Obviously, the Druid fans are hearing something quite different than what we did. As always, YMMV.
Phil,

As you know from our many discussions, your impeccable taste in amplifiers and their respective sonic nature mirrors mine. Or should I say, it mentors mine. Furthermore, I'm terribly jealous that you actually own the penultimate versions of some of those very amplifiers! As such, I was both surprised by what I heard from the Druids at VTV, and convinced that you (and other fans) must be getting something different out of these speakers. Because frankly, although I thought the music selection in the Zu room was both a perfect showcase for any speaker, as well as just plain catchy, my physical reaction to the sound made me re-think attending another audio show, ever. Hopefully, I'll get the chance to make it down to LA again for a home-cooked listening session of these speakers you obviously love so much. And once more, thank you for all of the valuable feedback you've offered over the past month regarding audio equipment in general.

Enjoy your Thanksgiving, everyone.
