Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil
Ait"For electronics the Texas Components Z-foil TX2575 resistors" Yep they are pretty incredible, I used them where they would really count in a phono stage loading the cartridge directly, and for the gain setting... Huge difference in frequency r... 
Zu Soul Superfly
Sorry just realized you have the Superfly I guess which is with the tweeter upgrade, never mind! The 1800 price threw me, it was a promotional.

By the way Zu also favors a "Battery" of caps on their tweeters in many models, meaning if they are using a 2.0 uF total value they use Dual 1uF caps strapped together, this can down the size slightly as well vs. one large cap, if you use mundorf ...

Kenp88,I would just pull the tweeter on that myself, normally Zu hot glues the single capacitor to the back of the supertweet with the resistor, mills normally, you can remove it, and replace with a much better cap to get the highs more extended a...

VenicelakeI would suggest getting an in home demo of a Zu pair and explain your concern directly... If they work out in a standard or even plain MDF finish prototype for you, and you can agree to a small shipping fee difference then you can assure... 
Zu Soul Superfly
Venicelake, I completely agree... Also the simpler the better in many cases. For sure I can say that Zu with S.E.T. is plenty of big sound. I never heard Gallos so I can't give any advice, cool enclosure with the orb' style setup though. 
Zu Soul Superfly
Wow... I hate to say it but you can paint a nice car for that much scratch... Seems that is one sticking factor for Zu since day one is the finishing process and costs, I mean thats as much as the speaker itself. Then again I see speakers and gear... 
New Preamp
How about a Jadis? Match the amps, I am sure they make some great pre's and will have very little tone issues or compatibility issues with your rig, safe bet if you already like what your amps and speakers are doing together making music... 
New JJ Tesla tubes
New Tung sol 12AX7's are excellent. Best I have heard even over NOS in several applications, and yes they have that big warm but dynamic sound like good NOS. Only ones as good are the Telefunkens, MAZDA's, & Baldwin/Sylvania tubes running betw...

I am just curious why did they already abandon the Ribbon Tweet from the essence after one new speaker with it and go back?

Well, you don't have much flexability in positioning this speaker, to get stereo "Image" its all about acoustics and placement, and maybe more importantly in this case Position. Not only are you forced to put these in your available corners, but a... 
amp clipping or low freq causing pumping speakers
It sounds like you have 2 problems...1- not enough gain just for the system with that cartridge if you crank and don't get the volumes you want, but ....2- You need to read this thread below and it will solve the woofers pumping basically guarante... 
My $99.00 System
Only because the poster here decided to throw this info on a public forum...-First NEVER let a wife know how much any of this crap is worth most don't have a clue, as a matter a fact the only way they might think its worth something is if it has t... 
what percentage of us really knows sound
I will start here... Not sure if the poster is in fact just upset and getting a rise out of the "People" or in fact the people are upset because they feel like they fall into the category he lists!!! Problem is they are both probably correct at wh... 
Room treatment success story
KevinzoeAmen... Funny how some guys get 30,000 dollar speakers and switch them in and out, then you come to find they have them in a room worth about 2000 bucks! Build a house or a room to get the optimal out of that crazy speaker is far better an...
