Zu Druids upgraded Vs Essence

I think to sell 'speakers, Zu needed to come up with something quite different from the what had gone before when they moved away from direct selling to using dealer networks. The newer Zu 'speakers (Presence, Essence) have a more conventional 'Hi-Fi' (as opposed to musical) sound. Thing is who would buy from a dealer when there are lots of cheaper used ones about?

I think alot of it comes down to the ribbon tweeter in the Essence. The tweeter has been described as dead and 'Hi-Fi' sounding in many other 'speakers.

I hope the new Soul sees a return to form

Ton, do you know what tweeter is in the new Soul?

I think Ron is bringing the Soul with him to my place. Should be interesting.

Shakey

Hey bones,the tweeter in the new Soul is, I believe the same as the Druid, at least it looks like it.

I don't quite understand your statement about buying from a dealer when you can buy used. You can get just about any speaker used here on Agon.
Also I'm a Presence owner and a past Druid owner, I don't agree at all with your statement about them. I would say they are very musical. Anyway, your entitled to your opinion and if you don't care for them that's fine. Everybody has different tastes.
Enjoy the music!
