Zu Druid questions

I've been living with my Druids for the past couple of months now so I thought I would give a quick update.

Forget everything I said about the soundstage, details, etc. Everyone said these speakers take some time to really open up and they do.

I just can't believe how good these speakers are. It took me awhile to get them set-up properly and to find the right amp, but it's certainly paid off.

With the 60 day in home trial I say run, don't walk. Awesome! Just awesome!

I also added the Zu center which is an almost perfect match from my Druids.

"Welcome to the real world" (Morphius) You have been awakened from the audio matrix :-)
Now I see why you were selling the odyssey, definitely not the amp in the end for those speakers..
Good luck

Jack_dotson,

What amp did you end up with? Did you stay with the Acurus, or go to something else?

Morphius lives!!!! :0)

Undertow is right about the Odyssey not being a good match. I talked to the folks at Zu about this amp and they think it has to do with too much damping. Normally a good thing, but not so with the Zu's aparently.

Armstrod, I'm using an Acurus A200 for the mains and a Acurus 200X3 for center and rears. I can't imagine a much better match for these speakers as far as solid state amps go. Maybe an Aragon??

I would still like to experiement a bit with different cables and IC's. I'm quite happy with what I have, but you just never know.

It seems practically everyone that owns the Zu's are using tube based equipment. I too would like to try some tube equipment some day.

The Red Wine SS amps are outstanding with the Druids.
