| Zu Druid & Definition Roundup WilsynetCouldn't agree more with your postings of the Druid V.I could still live with a pair of Druid IV's, they are still a special speaker. | |
| $6000 budget question I'm using Zu Druid V's with Dueland capacitor upgrade and I would say they could fit your requirements. | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? The ones I enjoy my music through every evening - Zu Druid V's with Dueland Cap upgrade. | |
| Focal Aria 948 You'd be better off with a pair of Zu Druid IV's that are currently on Ebay for $3000.00, IMHO.The Focal Aria 948's are atrocious according to someone who I know has a good ear. | |
| Zu Soul Superfly Hi Wilsynet,My Druid V's are in a room very similar in size to yours.No issues what so ever with placement.If you do go for the Druid V's the Dueland Black Copper Caps are a must on the high frequency network, expensive but definately worth it IMO... | |
| Zu Druid & Definition Roundup You would have to take a listen of both speakers.I have heard the Soul Superfly and own the Druid V, each has their own traits and it is all about which speaker is the best interface to the music for you. | |
| Primaluna Prologue 2 Upgrades Thanks for the replies.I have gone through the tube changes, have Mullard NOS input/driver tubes and Svetlana EL34 output tubes. As you say Saki70, it does make a difference to the performance character of the amp, much more preferable to my ears.... | |
| Zu Druid V Owners Snopro,Agree with your findings with the B3 speakon connectors, much more natural and effortless.Sean and all the guys/gals at Zu are superb to deal with.BestJames | |

| Zu Druid & Definition Roundup Hi Spirit,It's amazing what a salesman would say to sell something ;-)My personal take is such that if a dealer says its marginal, or not worth listening to, then it is not marginal and is definately worth listening to ;-)There's nowt wrong with t... | |
| Zu Druid V Owners Hi Scott,The Zu direct path to the speakers is certainly outstanding.I am in Manchester UK.The Audion amps are certainly one to investigate. I am currently using a 20 year old $150.00 CDP into a Primaluna Prologue 2 (Mullard NOS tubes up front wit... | |
| Zu Druid V Owners Hi Early,I have tried the binding posts on the Druid V's and also the Cardas to Speakon adapter, with a couple of different cables (Mogami 2972 bare wire connections and Libtec crimped spades both ends), the Libtec was much more open and transpara... | |
| Zu Druid & Definition Roundup Hi Spirit,Interesting, as I thought the MK2's were a noticable improvement over the MK1's, even though the MK1's had Mullard NOS tubes (input/control) and the MK2's had the stock Audion supplied tubes.The MK2's to my ears were more incisive, fast ... | |
| Zu Druid & Definition Roundup "Phil, I've saved a little money on a good deal for the BSs freeing up the possibility of buying a TVC if it suits."Spirit, did you compare the two BS's against each other, ie the MK1's against the MK2's? What was your experience?BestJames | |
| Zu Druid & Definition Roundup Hi Gopher,I have only heard the Zu Definition 2's in a dealer's dem room on a number of occasions, this was with solid state amplification (about 5 years ago), one was an extended listening session, when we put the Druid IV/2008's back in the syst... |
