Zu Druids - Two years after

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

Vicks7- do you prefer the druids over the merlins;I was just wondering?

It is a mute point. They have discontinued ALL models listed above; replacing these with only one production model: a new mid-priced Essence.

Also, they are moving away from a direct to consumer model to only dealer supported.

All these announcements were made at the CES. 6moons has a pretty lengthy interview on the subject.

Actually, the following is a quote from an interview with Adam Decaria that was publishd in 6Moons: "In short, it was time to restructure the lineup and retire the Tone, Druid, Definition and Method models. Call it progressing from the spring of Zu to the summer of Zu. . . . . One obvious element somewhat out of step with the revamp is the Presence model which we just introduced this year. It's really too new to be retired." Perhaps Adam mis-spoke. . .
