Zu Essence vs. any Emerald Physics CS series

I am looking to replace some speakers with either the Zu Essence or Emerald Physics CS-2, CS-2.3, or CS-3s. Has anyone compared any of these? I am looking for the most accurate and detailed soundstage. I would sacrifice some dynamics for better soundstage and clarity. Thanks for any input.

The Zu's are really good. I have not heard the Emerald.

Stragean Ebane of Six moons just did a review on one of the new Zu models... presence, I believe. Perhaps the Zu website has some links for other reviews.

Blindjim is correct. Zu's website has some reviews for the Essence. I just looked at it yesterday.

I have the Presence and for my room it is a keeper. Any amp with amp will drive them with great results.

I heard the two EP speakers a RMAF and like what I heard and was one of the better sounding rooms at the show. The amp setup for these speakers is a RPITA.

I was more than happy to see the Zu review in the current Stereophile.
