Room is medium sized, speakers are along the long wall roughly 8 feet apart and 7 feet from listening, music runs the gamut from acoustic jazz and vocals to orchestral, have SVS SB-3000 sub for the lowest notes

I would rank all 4 amps behind any good point to point wired DHT SET such as a 300B or a 2A3 for powering your Zu's.
