It depends on what you like. IMO the Superfly, Druid, and Omen Def all easily beat the Essence. I would even prefer the basic Omen over the Essence...all of the above are much more dynamic, much less harshness and glare, and just all around better speakers.......
Zu Essence vs. Druid Mk4/08
I have recently unsuccessfully attempted to purchase used Zu speakers in thr $2,500 - $3,000 range (outbid).
Currently there are available a pair of Essence and "the last pair of Druid Mk4/08 built for James of Zu Audio" with original ZuB3 interface(via Speakon 8-pole, Zu convention, with Cardas 5-way binding posts and Mundorf Silver/Oil caps.
Any opinion considering the Essence pair can be purchased for less than the Druids?
