Krell amp with Zu Essence speaker

you might try McIntosh instead of the Krells if you wish to stay with solid state. more synergy indeed.

anyone here running the Essence with Peachtree Nova? I have the nova and looking to upgrade to the Essence

I don't think there is anything you can do to make a Zu sound....ummm... different.

I run them with a Moon i-3 integrated and they are just great. I will purchase a good SET when the piggy bank is full and improve on the Moon CD-1's DAC with either an Eastern Electric DAC+ or an AudioNote DAC. Moon is fab with the Essence speakers. I understand the Nelson Pass J2 is as well if you want to go with solid state. The speaker can harmonize well with both types of amplification.

I was thinking of trying the Essence. What is your strength vs weakness opinion on them?
I currently have Focal 918s. Just curious how they may compare?
Thanks
