Zu Soul Superfly
I would definitely throw the Miniwatt amp into the affordable and very very enjoyable amp camp for the Superflys. I'm sure the Leben will be a step up, but I could easily live with this combo for a while. Very musical, engaging. It's probably a gr...

I pulled my Miniwatt out of my second system, butchered a pair of banana terminated speaker cables and fired mine up tonight. I was over waiting for the new amp. Adequate speaker cable, the 2.5 watt miniwatt, and very little attention to setup bes...

Mine have arrived but, in a strange twist, are sitting idle in my room waiting for an amp. Funny that. Should have some reports starting next weekend. My gut on the price increase: I think that they are still trying to find their sweetspot in the ... 
Where do you have your rack?
The tv speakers could contribute. I have been looking for a good cover for the tv but usually just use a thick towel. Window coverings will get handled in the next fee weeks. Tvad and stanwall-you guys hit the nail on the head for me. Those longer... 
Where do you have your rack?
Steve: It looks like we are dealing with a lot of the same dynamics. I just posted a picture of my renovated room, but yours have given me some ideas (I'm not sure why I still want the amps between the two speakers--seems like I could have my amps... 
Where do you have your rack?
A few things: Dorkwad (great alias): it did improve, but my room had so many problems when I made the move that I have now addressed that I'm not entirely sure of the impact. My only real beef is the loss of flexibility and the requirement for a n...

The new shortlist: PrimaLuna Prologue 5 (I already have the 3 pre) Triode A300 SEMelody I2A3 (a little over my budget) Tube Audio Lab 300B Almarro 318AAny Zu owners running any of these? Any other thoughts? Tim 
Tube Power Amp Recommendations around $2000
Having previously owned a set of Druids, I do think that the choice of amplification is pretty critical. Right now, I'm running a PrimaLuna Prologue 3 and Wyred4Sound monoblocks that I will likely keep. When I had the Druids the Prologue 3 + 5 pow...

Phil: What did you end up finding for amps for your friend? And what do you like with your Zu's? Put my order in yesterday for a batch 2 august ship. Tim

Phil: I could never really get an image that was coherent. I had problems with at a couple of different octaves in the room. I think that the height of the Druids was a big factor. I agree that there could have been other things going on (a lot of...

cobra: sorry to join in the folks peppering you with questions, but here is mine: i ordered a pair of mk-iv '08 druids a few years back. i loved just about everything about them. the sound, presentation, etc. i was pretty new to the high efficienc... 
Best $2000-$3000 full range speaker?
I went on a similar quest, albeit for a smaller room. I listened to PSBs, Dynaudios, Audio Physic Virgos, and a number of others. I also bought a pair of Druids. About a year into the process, I went and checked out the Gallo 3.1s, ordered a pair ... 
Tubed Pre to mate with W4S monos 1K budget
I use the PrimaLuna Prologue 3 with W4S monoblocks and love the combination. The Prologue series does not have a remote, but I believe that the dialogue series does. There are two pre outs plus a tape out on the PrimaLuna. 
Need Help on HeadPhone AMP
I love my Headroom Desktop headphone amd & DAC with the AKG 701s. About as close to bliss as it comes in my book. 
Best interconnects for Rotel 1072cd player
I'm using Zu cables with my Rotel to a Headroom DAC and then a PrimaLuna Prologue 3 preamp. (Ash, Gede) I like the combo a lot.
