I suppose it depends on music style. I've not heard Mark & Daniel but I know Zu will sound like live music at close to live music volume and dynamic scale with an easy 12 ohm load and 15w or so. You will need a mini method sub to really fill in the lower end depending on listening habits........ I noticed 1 on A'gon today..... Awesome sub
Zu or Mark & Daniel
Since I cannot hear either of these speakers wondering if anyone had any insight on how these speakers compare. I am specifically looking at the Druid Credenza's or the Mark and Daniel Ruby/Topaz's.
Room is a 18 by 16 family room with 10 foot ceilings. There is a 8 foot opening on the left hand side that leads directly into the kitchen. I have a 74" long x 34" tall media credenza. Speakers would sit roughly 22" off the front wall all the way to the edge of the credenza.
Electronics are:
Amp - Virtue Audio 2 with 130 watt PSU
Preamp - Grant Fideilty Tube DAC
Technics SL1200mkII
Cambridge Audio Azur Phono Preamp
Apple TV
I listen mainly to electronic music, alternative and classical rock.
If I went with the Mark and Daniel I would set them up on auralex mopads.
