What amp are you using with your Zu Essences?

"02-11-11: Audiofeil
Apparently Ralph doesn't like dealers who don't toe the company line as I've just been removed from the list of Atma-Sphere dealers.
That's certainly his prerogative and I make no apologies for expressing what I believe to be honest opinions based on actual listening experiences.
I wish Ralph and his company all the best.
Thank you."

Did you check with Atma-Sphere before making this statement, as it is always best to speak with the manufacturer before making possible invalid claims/statements?

Sounds like there is definately something in the air this week. We have dealers whining and manufacturers spitting their dummies (pacifiers) out over here in the UK at the moment.

It sounds like Audiofiel and Atma-Sphere need to meet on common ground, kiss and make up.

I am currently using a Rotel RA820 integrated to good effect.
Although I am looking at alternatives in the near future such a First Watt F5, Pass Labs INT30.5, Luxman L590A MkII.
Have a read through some of the 6 Moons reviews of the above amps and also the Yamamoto amps to get a flavour of what is out there as the reviewers have Zu Essence speakers.

Got hold of Primaluna Prologue 2 integrated with KT88 output valves for use with my Essence, it was certainly interesting, having never used valve amps before it did open my ears to the philosophy behind the Zu speakers designs, so much so I got some Svetlana EL34 output valves and Philips control valves for it, now it is sounding sweet.
Next step is to try out the Zu cables in place of the Mogami I currently use.
