Anyone heard the Zu Cable "Druids"....

The demo is going to be at the Hampton INN near the RT 33 & RT 248 interchange.

Rgs92 are you local?

Yes, central Jersey. Thanks.

I have a pair of Zu's now-discontinued Rune model, which I had upgraded in April to Druid Mk4 specs with the latest drivers, internal wiring and back plate. The cabinet design is the same for both models, but differed in the method of construction.

I have been very pleased with them, great coherence and balance. They are fast, dynamic and intimate. I'm driving the Druids to great effect with a 2 Wpc tube amp.

They are rated down to 40Hz, which is plenty for me. Even with just 2 Watts of tube amplification, the bass is not flabby or out of control, in my system and room, which is admittedly on the small side. Previously, I was using a 125 Wpc solid-state amp in a larger room with very good results also, not better or worse, just different.

Apparently, the bass response can be lowered slightly by using shorter spikes so that the base is 3/4" from the floor. Currently, mine are about 1 1/4" from the floor and I don't feel the need to lower them, but I may try it eventually.

I own the Druids ,the new mk4 models .At first listen
I could see the outer detail was there and dynamics ,
but were very congested FOR the first150 hours ,the driver is so stiff I used burn in cdsfor the 30s region to
get the big driver moving . Now 200 hours later and please remember on the bottom it is very critical to have just over a jewel case for the vent.everything just falls into place after that. You here sounds
in recordings that you never knew were there.
Also when using as a 2 channel for the movies you hear phantom sounds from your side and back , that is freaky.
If you have a valve amp ,ask the guys at zu to break them in, other wise a small amp may not have enough reserves for transient attacks to get the driver moving.the guys
at Zu are Class all facets including shipping were covered these are the best buy in all of audio.The cables
have not had a formal review
They are dam good also , compare at several times their cost.The 2nd cables from the top are superb high end buys,and I have bought a homes worth of audio in my day.
thanks Paul-UK

Can someone then explain the measurements Soundstage got when they tested this speaker? This does not look like a great speaker to me.....perhaps the pair they had was defective?
