One thing that cracks me up with this thread is that people are judging Zu's sound based on what they hear at shows. Zu doesn't play the same 10, "audiophile" tracks that you hear in EVERY ROOM AT EVERY SHOW. They play real music that they and younger audiophiles want to hear and they hardly ever play the same track twice. I've had the pleasure of hanging out in their room (no I'm not a, "paid fanboy") and watched 70+ year old men hobble out of their room shaking their heads. So what? The industry shouldn't be catering too the old guys with all the money and a handful of years to live. That is why the industry is dying. Companies should be catering to younger people who still have their hearing with a dream of owning amazing sounding speakers. I'm young, my wife is young, we still have our hearing and we visit every single room at every show we go to. We visited every room at RMAF before we easily and without hesitation settled on Zu speakers. Why did we go with Zu? Because you can sit in front of them all day and not get listening fatigue. Because you can run them all day every day. Because you can have a serious listening session with aesthetically beautiful speakers, an amazing sound stage, clear musical bass, crystal clear and unoffensive highs, and a beautiful midrange.
Personally, I think the thing that pisses, "audiophiles" off about Zu is their anti audiophile image. You can't take young, charismatic, and edgy people in your stuffy industry. But hey, I'm just a lazy, entitled millennial, so what do i know.
