Has anyone gone from Tannoy to Zu Audio?
@aldnorab a Klipsch from 20 years ago is a very different beast to that of today. Get the right amp with that or a Zu; set up properly and it’s hard to imagine fatigue being the word that would spring to mind. I like Darko but his comment re: PAs ... 
Has anyone gone from Tannoy to Zu Audio?
@aldnorab @jtcf says. Whilst the DW stuff is easy set up much of the rest of the range takes time. Once in the right position they can take weeks and months to settle. Mine were still improving a year after purchase. Pretty much zero chance of pul... 
Zu Dirty Weekend 6 went on sale today
Always amuses me how many audiophiles want their music to sound like live experience but simultaneously don’t want their speakers to sound like a scaled down PA.   
Has anyone gone from Tannoy to Zu Audio?
If you’ve heard a Zu at a show then you’ve definitely heard bright and harsh. If you’ve heard a Zu at home in a well matched system then you’ve actually heard them. Listen to my Zu Soul Superfly for 6 or more hours at a time. Often hard to tear my...

Innuos Statement vs Zenith Mk3 + PhoenixUSB
Yes, I’ve read elsewhere that the Phoenix will take you 85% of the way to the Statement and I don’t think that’s too far off. Having heard both it’s certainly understandable. What I would say is that it’s only true if the rest of your system is wo... 
Chord M-Scaler and Should I Want One?
I wouldn’t say the M-Scaler is about clarity. It’s more about weight, balance and a certain relaxed naturalness.   
Innuos Network Isolation Switch and Reclocker (Phoenix)
And the two exceptions are?  
Two audio components no one really talks about
Blimey. For the past five years or so I’d say the one thing which comes up mote than anything else is “the room”. A whole industry growing up around room correction; measurement; DSP and so on.    Hearing gets mentioned in passing but often dismi... 
Innuos Network Isolation Switch and Reclocker (Phoenix)
It includes running Roon in either mode. Innuos don’t tend to make any noise about when updates change the sound quality but users do. There has been no noise around the latest update having any impact on sound quality. Incidentally if you’re runn... 
For those that have separate Streamers & DACS
Nobody noticed that Innuos now produce a series of streamers then?  
Innuos Network Isolation Switch and Reclocker (Phoenix)
I suspect something may be amiss with your system. Hard to tell obviously but my move from Roon to Sense and back occasionally always produces a significant uplift in impact as you call it when I used Sense. There is an overwhelming consensus at t... 
Innuos Network Isolation Switch and Reclocker (Phoenix)
The original release of Sense had a major bug which took several release to sort. Since then it works seamlessly. I’m on the beta with full Tidal integration and it strikes me as ready for release. I’ve flipped back and forth with Roon trials but ... 
Innuos Network Isolation Switch and Reclocker (Phoenix)
I’m more interested in your initial dissatisfaction with the Zenith. Since the advent of 2.0 and Sense the Zenith sounds way better than the Zenith using Roon.   
Innuos 2.1.0 upgrade
Due to go public by the end of this month but obviously it depends on what bugs get thrown up. I’ve not noticed any deal-breakers so far so fingers crossed.
