Zu for Pass Labs?

Just buy an INT-25 and XP-17 phono stage, and after dozens of speakers (and really expensive ones), still remember the Zu Omens as my favorites. (also can get my hands on Heresy IV, and before Zu Heresy or Forte III were my choices).

Would they match good? I might can get Omen MKI or Soul VI.

TT: TD1500 and VPI Classic Signature, Rose for DAC/Streamer.

My other amp are a Mastersound Dueundici and Dueventi.

Sean Casey uses Pass Labs gear at audio shows all the time it will work just fine.

nice!

Actually I think is the biggest bargain in speakers I’ve ever come thru.

Sound was so full, live, but at the same time beautiful, and present, no harsh.. really love that Omens. Maybe upgrade to Union 6 Supreme or Omen Def Supreme? Well I was really pleased with Omens.

I'm sure it would if that's what is used at the shows. I prefer tubes with my Omen Defs in comparison to the Modwright ss amp I use in the summer.

thanks!

BTW, what are the differences between my old Omen MKI and the DWII ? it worth the upgrade? Don't need actually the upgraded models, they sounded spectacular to me. Better than Heresy and Forte.

I had a First Watt F7 and a Pass Labs XA 25 and ran Heresy, Forte IV, Zu omen DW, Zu Soul 6, and other speakers.  It was awesome.  I did not lack for power on the F7 or XA25 but the XA25 was faster, more quiet and a ton more power. 

Not sure if you have pass labs and are looking for speakers or the reverse but I highly recommend the XA25
