Crossover-less Speakers


I'd like to hear from those of you who transitioned to crossover-less speakers. I have a pair of Thiel CS 2 2s. I like 'em but I'm curious about the full-range crossover-less speaker types. I'd like to know what speaker you have and what speaker you traded up from. Are you getting the full range from your spkrs? Are you experiencing any peaks and valleys in the frequency response? Are you happy with the lows or are you augmenting with a powered sub? Thanks.

I'm with Macrojack on this one. I couldn't start to list all the speakers I've been through over the past 30 years, but Zu's are something special; especially with tubes.
Audiokinesis I am not affiliated with Zu in any manner what so ever. I just happen to love the sound of their speakers.

However, I didn't realize Macrojack had an affiliation either and I do agree that full discolsure is a must on this forum.

Mrtennis, I couldn't belive your description of the Zu's. Bright? My one pick with the Zu's is that I think they lack just a bit in the high frequency extension; even with my Onix tube amp. The one thing they're not is bright.

BTW, I can't even get Zu to cut me a deal on a pair of cables. Tried and was told to bid on them when they come up for auction. No discount what so ever for a return customer or even a small discount.

Even one who loves and always speaks well of their product. Sean/Adam, are you listening. ;0)

Serioulsy though, there is no pyrmid scheme IMO. Just plenty of happy customers.
