Are Zu Druids really good HE speakers?

I heard the Druids at the VTV show in Arcadia and I have to agree with the first comment. I was not in the least impressed. Maybe they were not fully broken in but....

Mechans,
Your experience is your experience but I have to challenge your characterization of the Druids. Mine are only 2 weeks old and they sounded very special right out of the box. If they are going to get better as they break in, that will be so much the better but I am absolutely thrilled with my purchase.
I replaced a pair of Goldmund Dialogues with the Zu Druids and never had a second thought. I have new Rowland electronics (Concerto and 201s)and Zu cables (Libtec and Gede). The sound is very natural, fast and precise. There is an openness and realism that might be disappointing to those who crave pyrotechnic sound affects, but for the lover of acoustic sounds and mellifluous vocals, nothing in my experience exceeds them except their larger (and 3 times as costly) sibling.
Perhaps someday you'll have another opportunity to evaluate this remarkable product. I've been in and around this biz for many years and to my mind the Zu Druid represents a paradigm shift. Different people will catch on at different times but these are the real deal.
I predict that most of us will own these or someone's imitation thereof within just a few years. The concept is unassailable and the execution amazingly effective.

Agree with Bufford, talk with Sean or Adam they are the one of the most honest companies I have ever dealt with.

FWIW, I own Druids & Definitions and am exteremly happy with their sound.

Out of your 4:

Full body - check! Absolutely and undeniably
Smooth and non-fatiguing - Check! Hours on-end, no sweat
Good dynamics - check! Take away the XO and Wowsers!!
Bass impact - not so much. They are tuneful and fast in the bass, but they won't kick you in the chest. You'll need a sub for that.

I owned these before upgrading to the Definitions and they're special. They handle big, tough music with aplomb - you wouldn't even guess they're hi-eff on that material. And, they preserve what's great about single drivers and high efficiency.

Zu will even extend your in-home trial to 90 days if you need it.

this combo is good provided the music you enjoy is simple, acoustic fare. for rock and classical, a push/pull of moderate strength(35 watts or more) would be advised with the zu's. the energy from these musical genres needs umpa.
