Some impression on Zu Omen Definition
I have had both of the SS above and several set amps, it just depends on your room, your taste, and the synergy of your system.....tubes give you a bit more intimacy and improved tone, especially with jazz and vocalists, while the SS gives you a b... 
Some impression on Zu Omen Definition
Well, just because you believe in something or not does not change the fact that it will take a minimum of 200 hours for break-in, and mine kept improving for maybe 300-400 hours. If you fall out of a tree it doesn't really matter if you believe i... 
Some impression on Zu Omen Definition
I have compared my system to a local audio store with a $10,000 McIntosh and the top of the line B&W's and mine kicked it's butt!1. Follow Zu's in room set up guide. Even a few inches off and the bass will be missing.2. The Omen Defs like lots... 
used SET amp under $1500 suggestion
The Grant Fidelity Shuguang 300B integrated is kick ass also.....I sold mine a few months ago and it is 90% as good as my now much more expensive system. I would recommend:Decware toriiGF Shuguang 300Almarro 318Quad KT-66 amp ( and there is one on...

What I was trying to say is that they have amazing synergy, Superflys or Omen Defs with the Tranquility. Liquid smooth, huge soundstage, great detail, with no digital edge or brightness at all........but I have not compared it to any of the big da...

Hi Roscoeii, Everything that you change will make a difference, which is a blessing and a curse with these speakers, as they just keep getting better and better over time! And yes, they will likely keep breaking in for a while......what is the res... 
What amp are you using with your Zu Essences?
1markr. Thanks for the feedback. How do the two compare? The PX-25 with the JOTA? My Defs are more sensitive, and the 6 watts is surprisingly enough. I bet the Carissa would pair well with the Essence also as it is a big 18 Watts! I just feel like... 
What amp are you using with your Zu Essences?
I'm using an Art Audio Carissa and a PX-25 and loving them both. I have decided that for me the PX-25 is a better fit as I listen at what I believe are too low volumes for the Carissa with such high sensitivity speakers ( I have 101dB Sensitive Om... 
Zu Omen or Tekton Lore
Cwazz: I would call Eric and speak with him, but it would be worth a try if you want to stay SS, to try a First Watt F3 or F5 or a clone of them. They have great tone, great bass, and are just fun to listen to, but If you really want to go to the ... 
ZU OMEN speakers 12ohms??
Excellent choices for the Omens that I have enjoyed ( and none are bright at all as I am sensitive to the brightness) include:1. Miniwatt EL842. Melody I2A33. Shuguang 300b from Grant Fidelity4. First Watt F3 ( I have a Rawson clone and love it)5.... 
Preamp for Pass Labs XA30.5
I am using a Modwright 9.0 Sig ( make sure it is the Sig edition). You can get it used for $1500 and it is a great combo in my system. I have not compared it though to any of the other offerings mentioned above. 
Single Driver Recommendations + amp Qs, Omega?
Stevensctt: The competitor I would look at would be the Tekton Lores. The reviews are great so far and the price is stellar. It is a bit over budget, but i bet that there sales prices will soon rise. 
Single Driver Recommendations + amp Qs, Omega?
Those Hoyt-Bedfords look fantastic. I wish I had another room to try out a pair. Good luck and make sure to give us some feedback!

I Agree.....that is a nice honest gesture to clear the air and explain some of the crazy pricing strategies over the last 6 months. I'm glad I got mine when I did, but I know this company will be just fine.....they are honest, committed to excelle...
