Anyone with Hearing Aids
Another option that you may want to research is the General Hearing Instruments Simplicity Hi-Fidelity 270 hearing aids. I bought them a few weeks ago. They are analog and designed for music. They cost $758/pair from Sams Club or a bit more from W... 
Zu Omen or Tekton Lore
I received the Lores a few weeks ago and am very impressed with their performance. My room has poor bass due to room dimensions so I have added my REL Strata III sub, crossed over at a low frequency to avoid muddying the bass of the Lores. I find ... 
Will a quality USB cable make a difference....
Perhaps it depends on the components in the system and their configuration as to whether the USB cable makes an audible difference or not. 
Zu Omen or Tekton Lore
Thanks zmanastronomy. I may look into the Almarro if my current amp does not work well. Do you know if the Almarro allows for the use of a separate preamp into the Almarro's amplifier section? I like my current pre, a Supratek Syrah with phono. Th... 
Zu Omen or Tekton Lore
Thanks for the ideas guys. I will let you know what I think of the Lores. Also, I see that Gpowered is using Quicksilver Mini Mites and Zmanastronomy is using Almarro A318B's. Any idea how the two compare and what types of music each favors? Eric ...

Thanks! 
Zu Omen or Tekton Lore
I have been following this thread and yesterday I ordered a pair of Lore speakers. After Zmanastronomy said they were not a pretty speaker, I decided to spring for the gloss finish, in black. Eric said it will take two weeks for the gloss finish t... 
Zu Druid upgrade kit
The answer to your question may depend on your listening preferences and your amplifier. I purchased the Druid IV in 2005 and upgraded to the 08 drivers in 2008. The 08 tweeter produced more resolution and extersion in the highs, creating more tra... 
Zu Essence vs Devore Nine vs Maggies
I acquired a pair of Zu Essence speakers a couple weeks ago. I am still dialing them into the room, and I believe they are still breaking in, but the level of output in the high frequencies can be adjusted by degree of tow in and the distance from... 
speakers that rock
ZU Druids IV 08 and a subwoofer. If purchased used, you can resell them with little loss if they do not work out. If set up well, the sound is big, dynamic, rhythmic, rich, and they can play very loud cleanly. 
Zu Druids - Two years after
I have used Druids for 3.5 years and am still very much enjoying them. The bass was not satisfactory in my almost square room so I added a REL Strata III sub which integrates nicely. I upgraded the speaker drivers to the 08 models which increased ... 
REL Subwoofer Cable Upgrade?
I switched from the standard REL cable on my Strata III to a Synergistic Research Alpha II and found the bass to be tighter, a little deeper, and with a little more punch. Additional, similiar improvements were realized by upgrading the power cabl... 
Anybody play any musical instruments...........
I used to play guitar in rock and roll bands in the early 70's. Lately, I have been really enjoying jaming with a couple of radio stations that play blues on Friday evening. I have the guitars and amp set up in the stereo room. 
Neutrik aftermarket cable for Rel Strata III
After starting this thread last February, I purchased the Synergistic Alpha Sterling x2 from The Cable Company. This is Synergistic's least expensive REL cable. It was a trade in so I received a discount. I think I paid $250. I decided on that cab... 
Diagonal room Setup....
I struggled to get good sound in my nearly square room (14.5 X 15.5) for six years. The bass in particulr was never strong. I then set it up on a diagonal at the suggestion of Adam Decaria at Zu. It now sounds great with no acoustic treatment. Ada...
