Zu Soul Superfly
I've found battery gear to be dull, boring. Don't get me wrong, I love the idea of low power and have the off-grid bug in me. That said there is something missing in the less than 3k components I've heard including RWA paired with Devore Super 8's...

One of the amps I used on the Essence was an 8 watt Luxman EL84. It powered them very well, though this amp with the ribbons on the Essence made them bright. I agree with Phil that the Essence was a mistake.Although I am critical of Zu because I h...

Tpreaves, there have been many documentaries that demonstrate the benefits of arranged marriages. Some studies show that after 10 years couples in arranged marriages are more happy (based on 150 questions) than those that entered into marriage for... 
Zu Druids upgraded Vs Essence
Hope they sound less edgy and more involving than the Essence. Is this a step up from the Essence? If so may give it a 60 day. 
Wilson Sophia 3
Are they a big step up in sound? Nice photos, they show the different angle in the middle and the new velvet pattern by the woofer. Pretty radical change.

You are in a difficult position here. The devores are designed for tubes. I couldn't get a reply from jd when I inquired about ss. It was like the audio police were going to show up in my living room.I tried rwa with the super 8 and 9 and found th...
