| ZU OMEN speakers 12ohms?? The thing I like about the Zus on paper (having never actually heard them), in addition to their high efficiency, easy load, and supposed ability to go loud well, is that they use a single wide range driver for most of the sound, supplemented by a... | |

| NuForce vs Bel Canto I see you have a tube pre-amp.Bel Canto mk II or m ref series are the BC products to look at for best results with a tube pre-amp. These have a 100Kohm+ custom input stages designed for best results with a tube pre-amp.The Nuforce site indicates o... |
