Magnepan .7s' vs Zu Omens

Greetings Friends. I'm getting the fever again. I currently have a pair of Magnepan .7's which I really like with 2 caveats. One is that my studio apt. isn't 100% conducive to the ideal set up for them. The other is my primary listening is electric blues and classic rock (Tull, Zeppelin, etc.) and the Maggies (to me) lack that nth degree of impact that suits that type of music, too "polite" maybe? I've been intrigued by the Zu Omens and have been told they might be a better choice for my listening tastes. I know we are talking apples and oranges, hence I'm reaching out for thoughts and advice. Amp is Wyred A500 (needed the current for the .7's). Source is an Oppo BDP 105.
Thanks!

It sounds to me like you want dynamic speakers, but ended up with ribbons. The Zu's, plus an integrated tube amp will probably make you very happy.

Sean is one of the good guys in audio. I met Adam and him when they were first starting off, with one of their early tours of the original Druid. Their speakers weren't quite for me, at the time, but I know they've gone through generations and generations of advancements, since then.
