Zu Speakers upgrade

I recently purchased a set Zu Omen Mk1 for $300.00. They are in excellent condition. Zu allows for upgrading to the new drivers. Does anyone have familiarity with this? Is it worth the $500.00 net charge. I am presently using a NAD C326 BEE to drive the Zu's. What is a good amplifier to drive these efficient speakers?

I just took delivery of the Zu Omen Dirty Weekend floor standers.  Using them with a Prima Luna Prologue 5 tube power amp & Musical Fidelity CD PRE24 preamp/ cd player.

Very pleased so far.  

Would go for the upgraded drivers.  No brainer if you like the Zu sound.

Just make sure that the Zu Omen floor standers are placed about a 1/2 inch or so off the floor.  The speakers have bottom ports.  The sound is not right if you place them directly on the floor.
