Anyone heard Zu Druid speakers?

213 cobra... Sarajan believes if you purchase the Druids with a Zu sub, one would have 90% of the Definitions performance cababilities. Would you agree with his statement? This combination (Druid + sub) sounds like a winner to me.

FYI....It is posted up on their site, Zu is visiting the east coast again! Easton, PA Sept. 16 & 17. They will be brining the Definitions, Druids, & Tones for a listening session for all those interested in the PA, NY, NJ, MD, DE area. If you dont know, Easton is only @ 1 1/2 hours from NYC & @ 1 1/4 hours from Philadelphia.

Missed this question. Answer is, Druids + Method sub are excellent but I wouldn't peg the combination at 90% of Defintion. The bass extension is only part -- and the smallest part -- of the Definition's improvement over the Druids. The flatter frequency response, greater articulation of fine detail and more effortless bloom of sound dynamics in the Definition are not equaled by adding the sub to the Druid. It barely closes the gap, IMO. I think subjectively that Druids alone are 60% of Definitions for <1/3 the price, and adding the sub maybe nudges the combo to 65% of the Defs. The Definition is more open, more projecting, more articulate, more dynamic, more scintillating than the Druid and that's before you notice anything about the bass.

Driven by a 2Wpc SET 45-based tube amp in my relatively small listening room, the Druids are a revelation in terms of detail and coherency across the frequency range. They will also play plenty loud enough. True, they will not give you the last octave of bass, but I am not terribly concerned about bass slam. Accurate and musical bass is what the Druids offer down to between 35Hz and 40Hz, enough to go a bit lower than the lowest string on a double bass, which is enough for my needs.

Can anybody give some comment if I were to use Nagra Vpa monoblock of 50 w to drive Druid or Defination. Which will be better match?
