Zu tone or Druid or which Omega ?

You certainly do not have to worry about purchasing before listening with ZuAudio. They have a 60, yep, 60 day money back guarantee if you are not happy. Can't beat that with a stick. Being a Zu owner, I have followed all the Zu threads. I have found, however, that the Druids seems to be the most problematic speakers of the Zu line (in the way of sound, not quality) and very inconsistant as far as audiphool accolades. They may not be your cup of tea, but there is no risk. I own the Definition 1.5s. While a totally differenct speaker, this past year (other than my Maggie days, back in the 70s) has been the most fun I've had from a rig. The Druids, form what I have heard, are more room dependent than the Defs. I don't know what the scoop is on the Tones. Zu coupled with tubes (you're there already can be wondrous. Good luck...

Druid is about 6 db more efficient than the Tone. As Garry indicated, that probably won't be an issue but I thought you might want to know.

Should consider a PHY driver in open baffle,or a PHY based speaker.
Probably nothing better suited to what you are looking for.
And it would have bass along with spectacular midrange.

Macrojack, I don't know about the 6db difference in sensitivity. 8 watts and 6db difference? I don't think so..IMHO...

That would really depend upon where those 6 watts took the efficiency down to. In the case of the Druid/Tone comparison, I'd agree, going from 101db efficiency, to 97db will not make too much of a difference listening in a room that size. If that difference were perhaps 94db vs 88 db it would make all the difference in the world for an 8 watt amplifier.
