Zu Druids - Two years after

Who keeps their gear for 5 yrs.? LOL

I have the Zu Presence and bought them without hearing them but read all the info on them. I may keep them for 5 yrs. they are that good. Huge smile on my face when I fire them up. =8^)

Everything one could ask for in a speaker IMHO.

My wife likes them so a big score for me.

I've been listening to Druids since version 1. I have upgraded them to MK4, and still enjoy everything about them. If (big if) I were to change out, it would only be to buy the new Zu Essence.

IMHO - excellent speaker.

I have used Druids for 3.5 years and am still very much enjoying them. The bass was not satisfactory in my almost square room so I added a REL Strata III sub which integrates nicely. I upgraded the speaker drivers to the 08 models which increased the output in the highs which I felt was needed, and improved spatial characteristics. They are very lively and musical and you do not have to crank them up real loud to enjoy them, which I had to do with the many models of Magnepans I used over the years.

Just to update I now have a pair of low mileage 08 druids in my system. I have them running with a new 300b amp and love the dynamics and synergy. Also enjoying the look of the druids - they are cool looking speakers. Both have a bit of breaking in to do and have a pair of libtec cables on the way but even right out of the box love the music I am hearing, especially on vocals and jazz, even the tone of electric guitar. Thanks for the feedback - I am hoping this will be a system that gets me off the audio merry-go-round.

Sweet, they will match up better with the libtec cables for sure too…. It is a difference in synergy with the right cables especially on super high efficiency speakers and low power like this.
Good Luck
