The Gear to drive Mini Maggies
You can run them with 100 watt SS or 50 watt tube, but they will not do all they can do with less than 500 watts a side at 4 omhs,stable to 2 ohms.Proved many a time, to many people.An EE Professor cum audiophile at U of Wisconsin proved it to me,

Zu Druids compared to Tekton Lore Speakers
You could just say that Zu's with the possible exception of the Essence are simply voiced for rock, which the folks at Zu will readily admit is their passion.

Nor will they "breath " like an efficient speaker and acoustic music does,which is why I gave up on them after 4 pairs.

Wolf. I had a neighbor once who was an EE professor, he told me you can't build a meter fast enough to show what an amps really doing. 
The Gear to drive Mini Maggies
With Maggies, ANY Maggies you can not have too much power. 
Good cartridges for a Rega RP6?
Having tried both on my Planar 3 with ADC LFT carbon-fiber low mass arm, I found the Ortofon perhaps a bit better tracker, butthe MP200 better sounding ,at least on the Classical music I listen to on vinyl.
