I do not understand anything of your post. Sorry. 
Bloated speakers/weight wise
John says:"Ck out Wilson AlexandriaX2, @ 1100 pounds each!!!!!! WHAAAAAAAAA. Calling on Hercules. Man I have trouble bench pressing 150. Of course we knows its a studio speaker. I guess the Wilson line gets first place in the Big Fats category.Prp...

Isn't the Zu best setup with a low watt/single ended tube amp? How many of us are interested in low watt tube? So this speaker is geared toward a specific customer. Sure its not limited to single ended, but its IDEAL for low watt tube.

I just mentioned that the Zu's were reviewed on audio asylum, short, one sentence, but to the point. Have a look. 
Bloated speakers/weight wise
Chad, with a bigger heftier amp I can make my 70 lb speakers blow the roof off this place, 40X30 cathedral room. The only thing is the dual 7 inchers roll off the lower 20-40 hz/s. Which is why I may go to a 3 way with a 8 inch woofer/at 100 lbs e... 
Best monitor under 5k?

Some guy on audio aslyum made a short comment on the Zu's he heard on SEVERAL systems. Thats fair to me. You can read it there.

I sent a cdp to califorinia and it was bubbled wrap with 2 layers in a single box, arrived trashed. partly my fault for not double boxing. Now its 6 months and am still waiting on my $500 ck. Katrina has claims backed up for at least 1 yr. This is...

Well like Zu says he's willing to work with us to get his speaker in our home for a test listen. I'd be willing to pay half shipping costs, Zu pays ship one way, I pay ship back. I'd give them a fair review next to my comparable Thor, comparable p... 
Volume and Bass levels at LA HE Show
See these vendors miss the point. Do we really want a system that can play loud? Of course not. So why do they try to tempt us with alot of loud noise? Makes no sense to me. Just put the volume at 1/4 and let the sytem sell itself. I image they tr... 
Personal amp evolution
Pretty impressive lists. Anyone know which member has one of the most impressive lists? I've not had a chance to go through all 8 pages. It'll take me a few more yrs yet to post a list. I'm just starting. :-( 
Zu Druid or Tone + sub
I agree with Goatwuss, never ever buy a speaker w/o hearing first. I did buy my seas w/o hearing, but did know hear the Seas' W22 in a DIY design I paid a guy to buld for me. Cost me $2K for the guy to build and i sold them after one day for $800.... 
Jadis JP200 and Marantz 7 clones from Hong Kong
I guess Dweller has issues with Jadis' prices thus his "I am not a fan". Though I have the JOR, I would never pay full price for any other Jadis. I agree with D, if I could get a clined Jadis for say 2-3K I'd buy. Nice Day 
Your best picks for 2006 Best Speakers under 4K.
The Zu Druid does look like an interesting speaker. However, they roll off at 40hz, just like my Thor MTM's, so nothing to gain there. Interesting speaker, infact the only one that interests me other than Seas and ScanSpeak. I'd like to haer them ... 
Just ordered my Supratek Chenin Preamp
Your first tube equp EVER, and you buy a Supratek. WHY? I don't get it. How much did you pay, tell me that.Also there is a 5 yr running Supratek topic going on, I suggest you post there.Paul
