Zu Omen Dirty Weekend Setup tips

So the Zu Omen DW are available again and I plunked down my deposit.
Any tips to help make them shine? (When they finally get here, that is.)
This is my first new speaker in a few decades so I'm not sure what to expect besides different. I'm trying to broaden my firsthand experience instead of solely relying on what I can read. A journey that is long overdue. My ears may not be the best, but they are the only ones actually attached to my head.

I bought 2 sets of GAIA feet and felt like it tightened up the bass nicely. My Dirty Weekend speakers (hickory👍) have the drivers out of a set of MK lV Druids. I’ve added one REL t5i sub and it has done a nice job of compensating for a bad room. I also added a Pass XA-25 and a MicroZOTL mz2 upstream. Couldn’t be happier with the result. Sean and Garrett are very good about answering questions you might have... Don’t think you’ll send them back!
Good Luck!

I looked at your room drawings and my room is almost identical (missing side wall). I placed a REL t5i to the outboard side of right speaker (facing) and it solved my bass issues. I’ve owned the Schiit Saga preamp and it was a great piece for $350.00, but I encourage you to read Herb Reichert and Terry London’s review of the MicroZOTL mz2 preamp. Teamed with the Pass XA-25, I don’t think you can beat it for the money. I’ll bet this preamp would be killer with your Prima Luna.
