Zu Druid IV - the real deal?


i just got done setting up my brand new pair of Zu Druid IVs. they just arrived this afternoon. i am speechless. my girlfriend is too, and quite frankly she could not give a damn about what kind of speakers i have. i bought these speakers without having heard them before. i was just curious.

right out of the box they are remarkable, and i can only expect that they are going to get better. music simply floats out of them effortlessly. wow. i can't even describe it.

now get this; i have them hooked up to a $799 Denon 2803 a/v receiver. $25 Audio Quest interconnects and cheap speaker cable. this is my second system, which i use mainly for watching TV. in the other room i have what would be considered an "audiophile" grade system. i can only imagine what these Druids are going to sound like if i give them a spin in there.

oh yeah; i have a REL storm sub woofer filling in the low end.

Hey don't get on Bartockfan's case. He is still at a point in his learning curve where he doesn't understand the relationships involving gain and speaker efficiency, amp output impedence and the speakers impedence curve let alone being able to actually discern the differences in components attributible to break-in, set up, or synergy.

Be thankful that he is such an eager contributor of 'information' without regard to the extent of his actual knowledge. Without folks like him who would you pick on (probably some poor newbee). Personally I'm thankful for his presense as it serves as a constant reminder to us all from where we came. :-)
Audiofeil, Tough place for a newbee to seek advise. Ask a reasonable question and you'll get 10 answers, two of which might happen to be right. When the stars are all alighned the right ones will be well phrased and intelligently presented so the questioner will have his answer. If they are not well phrased or intelligently presented then the questioner will disregard them and any of the other wrong answers similarly presented by others.

What I fear for those seeking to solve problems are well phrased, intelligently presented, thoughtfully considered answers, coming from folks who present themselves as being experienced and knowlegable, which happen to be just plain wrong.

I think Bartockfan's posts present no such problem for any reader.
