Anyone receive their Zu Druid VIs yet?
I haven't yet heard the Def 4s...I strongly considered a used pair last year, but I ultimately passed as that was prior to my knowing I would have such a large listening space in my new house (I wasn't planning on moving when I considered the Def ...

I just read his finalized review.  Yes, I suppose we appear to be saying about the same thing...Assuming the Vs sound like my Soul Supremes (both with the identical drivers, I believe), the VI is slightly more resolving, forward, and perhaps punch...

I have not been able to play these 24x7 as I've had family working to pack up my house during most days (and they didn't want to listen to music, apparently), and so I'm guessing I maybe only have 30 hours or so on them so far.At 20 hours or so, I...

I can confirm the gloss black and the matte black are both stunning in their own rights--I have Zus in both (two sets and a sub in matte).  I'm currently favoring the matte but that's obviously a personal thing.  I can't imagine anyone being anyth...

As hoped and expected, the "edge" is coming off these nicely as the hours roll through.  Timing is right now...no perception of drag in the timing like the first couple of hours.  The soundstage is pushing back into the room and past the back wall...

Black Hole Black Matte.  My Undertone is Matte Black Nextel and I would have assumed them to be the same, but maybe I’ll look closer and see if there’s a discernible difference.  They’re both really awesome looking.  I think my Soul Supremes are t...

OK, so my Druid VIs arrived--days before I expected.  Way too soon for serious reactions, but they sound really good (perhaps great?) cold out of the box.  I have no idea how long they burned in at the factory, but they do have the tell-tale "just...

I love KT-88s too, and I am not at all surprised the Luxman stuff is turning out to be awesome for you.  Since you have the itch already, I will tell you, I ran PrimaLuna integrateds (2 different models) with the Zus (loved them with the Zus), and...

+1 richpintoOf course this is all personal preference, but I agree that these speakers allow you to really expand the front-ends and continue to hear the improvements provided.  What's impressed me is that I've made rather significant upgrades ove...

I’m also very keen to try the new Linear Tube Audio Ultralinear if I can...I have their really low powered MZ2 and even at its really low power it sounds fantastic as an integrated with my Soul Supremes.

There’s a very good (and long) thread on the topic if you search this forum...it will be hours of reading, but thoroughly informative.  Search something like “Zu Druid Round-up” maybe?  Forget the exact title...From memory many liked your Sophia w...

Garett says my pair is being shipped this afternoon.  With luck I will have a pair in hand by the end of next week and can do an initial out-of-box sound comparison to my well-trodden Soul Supremes.  I’m moving in about 6 weeks so this will be a g...

They are usually quite responsive.  I’m going to call them again...still haven’t received mine.  I spoke with them a month ago and they implied mine were being painted.  But that was 4 to 5 weeks ago.anyone else received them?
