Anyone heard the Zu Cable "Druids"....

6-Moons just did a nice review but, I am struggling trying to understand how well a 10" driver can perform covering the frequency range to 12Khz. And, no mention of beaming which is a surprise. The individual doing the Soundstage review a couple years ago wasn't quite as estatic about these speakers but, there have been some revisions since that particular review. It is an interesting speaker and the 60 day trial period offered is commendable. Has anyone heard this speaker?

sweet spot is no smaller than with any direct radiating speaker and larger than some ... not a head in a vise speaker by any means. worth a listen if you are in the market.

The demo is going to be at the Hampton INN near the RT 33 & RT 248 interchange.

I have a pair of Zu's now-discontinued Rune model, which I had upgraded in April to Druid Mk4 specs with the latest drivers, internal wiring and back plate. The cabinet design is the same for both models, but differed in the method of construction.

I have been very pleased with them, great coherence and balance. They are fast, dynamic and intimate. I'm driving the Druids to great effect with a 2 Wpc tube amp.

They are rated down to 40Hz, which is plenty for me. Even with just 2 Watts of tube amplification, the bass is not flabby or out of control, in my system and room, which is admittedly on the small side. Previously, I was using a 125 Wpc solid-state amp in a larger room with very good results also, not better or worse, just different.

Apparently, the bass response can be lowered slightly by using shorter spikes so that the base is 3/4" from the floor. Currently, mine are about 1 1/4" from the floor and I don't feel the need to lower them, but I may try it eventually.
