Zu Druid IV - the real deal?

i just got done setting up my brand new pair of Zu Druid IVs. they just arrived this afternoon. i am speechless. my girlfriend is too, and quite frankly she could not give a damn about what kind of speakers i have. i bought these speakers without having heard them before. i was just curious.

right out of the box they are remarkable, and i can only expect that they are going to get better. music simply floats out of them effortlessly. wow. i can't even describe it.

now get this; i have them hooked up to a $799 Denon 2803 a/v receiver. $25 Audio Quest interconnects and cheap speaker cable. this is my second system, which i use mainly for watching TV. in the other room i have what would be considered an "audiophile" grade system. i can only imagine what these Druids are going to sound like if i give them a spin in there.

oh yeah; i have a REL storm sub woofer filling in the low end.

i am very pleased with the system so far. the speakers sound super, and are working nicely in my large-ish room with high ceilings. stereo imaging and sound stage are excellent, and the speakers produce surprisingly deep bass. this is not a particularly dynamic system, but is more laid back and liquid. i have been listening to a lot of electronic music and reggae music lately and, frankly, i am as happy as a pig in shit! at this very moment i an listening to a german electronic artist who performs under the name "isolee". his new album is called "western store", and it sounds absolutely killer.

i just posted a profile of my system in the "opinions please" category of audiogon's virtual systems. i don't have a photo of the system on there right now, but i will put a photo on tomorrow morning.
