While I don't have direct experience with the Superflys, I tried Druids for a short time with my Cary 805Cs. While I am very fond of both the 805s and Druids, they did not work well together. I find that both these particular amps and speakers have a lot of mid-range focus. Put together, it was too much. The sound became very thick and slow. Maybe too much in the way of micro-dynamics, and sound was far too warm. Also, there was some sort of resonance that I couldn't ignore. This may have been the room rather than the amp and speakers. Ultimately, I sold the Druids in favor of keeping the Carys. I could have just as easily gone the other way, but I've had the Carys a long time now, so they were my old friends. I'm currently using Harbeth SHL5's, and that's a great match. As always YMMV.
Zu Soul "Superfly" with Cary CAD-805's
Was wondering if anyone has ever tried Zu Soul "Superfly's" (or any Zu speakers) driven by Cary CAD-805's? I have wanted these amps for a long time and am even more intrigued now as they come with a 16 ohm tap. My experience has been that Zu's (esp Soul) sound best when connected to the 16 ohm transformer tap. Any feedback greatly appreciated.
