Bass is very room-dependent, hence the differing opinions on the bass output of various speakers. Why not just get a sub and cross the Zu over at 100hz or so, which will free up the Zu from having to produce low bass. Worth a try if it's bass you crave. As to a smooth treble, many rock and blues records are mixed pretty bright and when you play them back over a high-end speaker it becomes more obvious. I would try a sub first and see what happens rather than flailing around hoping someone recommends a speaker you can live with.
