Question for Zu owners


Are any of you guys using your Zu Druids or Definitions in a home theatre application? If you are, what are you doing for a center channel speaker and surrounds?

Druids in stereo work pretty well. I don't get airplanes flying behind me but there are some pretty intriguing phantom sound effects.
I've got a 42 inch plasma on the wall bracketed by Druids and a very heavy credenza from the used office furniture store on the floor under my screen. This holds all the equipment. The imaging is such that a center channel effect is in place.
Home Theater has always seemed like car stereo for the house so I've never been tempted to install it. I even went so far as to allow a complete surround system to accumulate here but I traded it away without ever hooking it up.
Zu seems similarly disinterested but if you have money to throw away, the Tones could be used for additional channels as they are voiced the same as the bigger speakers.
By the way, the Druids provide much more articulate and imposing bass than any HT sub I've ever heard even if they don't go quite as low.
It seems that the strength of the Zu speakers is their simplicity and directness. I imagine that would be compromised by the kluginess of multi channel. On the other hand, if you are going to do it, there is nothing better to do it with. Zu has a lively spirited character that I have never encountered before. Sountracks really come to life.
