Zu Druid IV - the real deal?

Drubin and Reubent have a good point. First off I don't believe in the breatin idea at all. Everything electroic I own works just as it did the day I turned it on.
What I think Drubin and Reu is getting at is the initial impression may 'fool" us into hearing the best qualities and ignoring the downside. After a few hrs, the weaknesses become apparent, maybe even days. I had a old pr of philips 2 ways, that a few DIYers said that speaker was first class in its day, back in 1980's. I got a pr of B&W's for my wife, and could haer the issues with the Philips, still I could also compare the philips to the B&W's 602's and hear their waeknesses also. My Seas Thor's reveal all the many weaknesses in both. The Philips served its useful purpose, as it was the best thing in those days going. The B&W's were a step horizontal.
Initial listenings can be deceiving. But who knows I had a friend who loved his highly colored, grainy, distorted musical sound image comming from his $20K(new $40K) used priced system.
Just give us another review in a yr from now, to see how things turn out.
It is possible this is your ideal speaker. We all have slightly different expectations.

Newbee I don't need a defense team. Sure I can't explain the tech stuff that goes with audio, but have a intuition how these concepts work out.
Gain/db levels, fq's, impedence , these things can be electronically measured. Breakin "improvements" cannot be meansured. Is there any gauge that says '90%, 95%, 99% breakin complete"??
But if you can detect breakin and its real to you, then who am I to object. We only give our opinion shere. No one is right nor wrong. If the ZU's work for you thats all that matters. Just try to be as accurate as possible in how your comments go. This way others can better base their decisions as to buy or not from your comments.
Its good to see ZU and other labs giving a trial period for their products. This offers those interested to try before buy. This shows a commitment to make sure the customer is happy, and its not all about the money.

So ZU is the new kip on the bloack with massive marketing push/$'s and is a better speaker than the Danes who have been researching to achieve the Excel line, for over 40+ yrs.
Go for it.
I'm thinking Tyler has 2-3 yrs to go before his speakers are known for the value they are.
Go for it dude.

Phil" "yes the Definitions are well worth the extra, as its a much better speaker than the Druids"
