Considering Zu Dirty Weekend over my current B&w 702s2


I’ve felt for a long time (since I got them) that my 702s2 floorstanders have excellent “analytical” sound but are just missing the “life” that I want from my system. I swapped my Parasound P6 preamp for a Schiit Freya+ with some nice tubes that improved things significantly, but still feel a long way from the sound I want. I’m strongly considering the Zu Dirty Weekend 6 to replace the B&Ws, but I realize that’s a pretty big step down in “level”. So I’m wondering…am I going to regret it? Anyone have experience with both speakers they can share?

 

ps running Bluesound Node 2 as the main source and Parasound A21 amp.

Happy DW owner going on 4 years now.  Also have the Omen Bookshelf speakers in a second system.

These speakers just sound so alive to me.

I use the DW's with a Prima Luna tube amp and the Omen's with a Rogue Sphinx integrated.  The Zu speakers do well with tubes.  CD players & turntables in both systems.
