Zu Essence upgrade kit - worthwhile?

I'm looking for a little feedback on the upgrade kit offered by Zu for their Essence speakers. Has anyone performed the $750 upgrade?
What differences did you notice in the sound? At the end of the day was it worth doing?

I'm trying to get an idea whether the upgrade is worth the money.

Thanks.

Gopher thanks for passing along your thoughts.

The website indicates the upgrade drivers have gone through 600 hrs of burn in, so that should help.

Ton thanks for sharing. I'm currently using a Triode Labs 2A3 Signature with them. I've had results similar to what has been reported on other threads. Though I have been happier with the 2A3 pairing, then the 300b, and EL84 I've rotated through.

Nice that you live close enough to have had Sean deal with the upgrade.

Thanks for the feedback guys. I've gotten myself added to the waiting list with availability in December.

I'm interested to see the difference it makes in my system.
