Both the Zu Omem and Klipsch are over my budget. Couldn't extend myself to purchase both at one time. I'm aware of the return policies. Trying to narrow it down. Zu DW fits budget best, Heresy is my 1st choice, but more costly, and very intrigued w Omen2, but if Zu is lean and thin sounding I'm becoming concerned.
In need high-efficency speakers
I recently purchased a preowned Mystere IA-11 40 watt tube integrated amp to replace a 120 wpc SS amp. Overall it has a very satisfying sound with plenty of detail, dynamics and a tight bass for a tube amp.
The problem is the combination of our large town-home living/dining room combo with my 87db DIY Seas Froy Mk3 speaker, powered by the 40 watt amp means it can’t play loud, especially a problem with movies or TV specials.
I was hoping to change to the Zu Audio Omen Mk2 or Klipsch Heresy III high-efficency speakers. My wife and I agree it is unwise to spend that kind of money with our current finances. The Zu Dirty Weekend would be a cheaper option, but the Klipsch would look better in our living room.
So I’m looking for solid advice on what to do from this audiophile community.
Here is a link to my ’Virtual System’ if that will help.
