| Zu Druid & Definition Roundup The Druid V's continue to amaze as they run in, they make listening to music extremely addictive.Having owned the Druid IV/2008 and now the Druid V, Sean and the guys at Zu certainly know how to improve and get the best out of a design for pure mu... | |
| Zu Druid & Definition Roundup Zu Druid V's with the Dueland cap's are absolutely outstanding.The change from the normal binding post to the Speakon connector is a significant improvement as well. | |
| Zu Soul Superfly V****s - Would I mention that here to you, no way, I have got text and email to do that directly. Hee HeeI can see you in a nice cardigan, tarten slippers and smoking a pipe handling a big round black disk whilst you are bathed in a soft orange gl... | |
| What amp are you using with your Zu Essences? Got hold of Primaluna Prologue 2 integrated with KT88 output valves for use with my Essence, it was certainly interesting, having never used valve amps before it did open my ears to the philosophy behind the Zu speakers designs, so much so I got s... | |
| Zu Soul Superfly "Holy crap. Have you guys read the 2010 Q4 entry in the company history part of their page?"Hi Gopher, yes I have read this, and it takes some serious guts for a company to be so open about what has gone on.For me it just makes me proud to own the... | |
| What amp are you using with your Zu Essences? I am currently using a Rotel RA820 integrated to good effect.Although I am looking at alternatives in the near future such a First Watt F5, Pass Labs INT30.5, Luxman L590A MkII.Have a read through some of the 6 Moons reviews of the above amps and ... | |
| What amp are you using with your Zu Essences? Sounds like there is definately something in the air this week. We have dealers whining and manufacturers spitting their dummies (pacifiers) out over here in the UK at the moment.It sounds like Audiofiel and Atma-Sphere need to meet on common grou... | |
| What amp are you using with your Zu Essences? "02-11-11: AudiofeilApparently Ralph doesn't like dealers who don't toe the company line as I've just been removed from the list of Atma-Sphere dealers.That's certainly his prerogative and I make no apologies for expressing what I believe to be ho... | |
| Rega Isis?? Hi Camali,Having first heard the Rega Isis back in September 2009, I now own one.At the time of first hearing this I was looking towards vinyl (purchased a 2nd hand deck/arm/cartridge) to obtain the engaging music I had back in the late 80's, I ca... | |
| Zu Soul Superfly The Essence with Naim gear IMO is too much, the Essence speaker isn't a good balance overall, they do have some outstanding traits with the Naim amps, but swapping to other manufacturers amps brings them to life.The Druids are a fine match with th... | |
| Zu Soul Superfly "Don't you love when blank statements are made about a unit that is not thought out. This is HI-FI sounding and this is not. There are 10 different factors in play for the final sound and not just one unit. To say the Essence is Hi Fi sounding is ... | |
| Zu Soul Superfly "Essence lovely but a bit too hi-fi (oh noo!) and with some cuppiness in the vocals."As Phil has stated in the past, you need to get the amp right with the speakers. I personally do not experience any hifi-ness or vocal cuppiness with my Essence's... | |
| zu essence? "I have heard through the grapevine in the UK that the Zu Essence has been discontinued."Dear All,Looks like the above is a load of BS, which is a relief as the Essence are cracking speakers.Apologies to all who might have been concerned about suc... | |
| zu essence? I have heard through the grapevine in the UK that the Zu Essence has been discontinued.Which is a shame as I think they are great speakers that work with SS and Atmasphere Valve amps brilliantly.Never came across a company that chops and changes i... | |
| Zu Soul Superfly Had the same shenanigans this time last year with Zu Essence on the change over from Dealer Network to Direct Sales, that was one hell of a frustrating 3 months from placing my order with my dealer in the UK, no one knew what was happening at all ... |
