Zu tone or Druid or which Omega ?

Thanks to everyone who weighed in with your varied views. I bought Druid based on Zu's 60 day trial. I will soon understand why Druid evokes passion or disdain.

Now I need your guidance on which specific 300B amp model you know of that would have best synergy with Druid in my 11x16 room. I listen to jazz, vocals and acoustic instruments, and like warm lush magical midrange. Or perhaps even 2A3 or 45 amp? I prefer amp directly connected to CD player, without a preamp

I will move this thread to Amp or SET where it belongs.

still curious what you are using now?

Clfcarney-

You may not think of electronica as music, but there are folks in music who believe that to recreate this type of music is more difficult than large scale classical. I tend to agree. For instance, your orchestra only recreates what, 50 instruments? There are an infinite amount of instruments in house music on a true full range basis.

Zu had the balls to do something different compared to your aged, boring, and dead typical audiophile stuff. Just look at cd sales of classical and enough said.

I commend them for that---and as a young audiophile, it was refreshing to see. And as i was at the HE show, enough of the drub Krall, Norah, and other musical innuendos people seem so impressed with.

Last mistaken poster I will respond to on this thread.
One of my favourite artists is Bjork.
Really like Portishead,too.
Electronica is not a bunch of instruments.It is synthesised sound.Sometimes very interesting sound,usually not.
I don't cotton to classical,either.I like the Archies,e.g.As a young audiophile,you can check them out on cartoon network if you are curious.
When the poster asked about high- eff speakers with warm mids to mate with 300b for female vocals and acoustic music,I had to speak up.
I know just a little something about that and my assertion still stands.
Probably NOTHING better than a PHY.

Jaybo,
I have been using low eff B&W with hi-power ss amp.
I am moving to hi eff single driver speaker with low watt SET amp. Seeking warm lush magic midrange and occasional sweet female vocal. Hope to find that with Druid and matching 300B.
