What amp are you using with your Zu Essences?


Just a scored a pair of these and I was just wondering what people were pairing up with them. I've heard they work best with tubes. Has anyone tried solid state or Class D and then moved to tubes? How many or how few watts have worked for you? Thanks in advance for any stories.

Additionally, if you go to the Zu website and view the speaker comparison chart you'll see amplifier recommendations for various amplifier topologies.

Please note that Zu's comment for Omen Def (6 ohm) and OTL is a tenuous "maybe".

Thank you
I am driving the Definitions with Decware's new Torii 26 watt EL34 based amp and it is absolutely a stellar combination. I have found that Zu speakers are very amp friendly so enjoy them!
Apparently Ralph doesn't like dealers who don't toe the company line as I've just been removed from the list of Atma-Sphere dealers.

That's certainly his prerogative and I make no apologies for expressing what I believe to be honest opinions based on actual listening experiences.

I wish Ralph and his company all the best.

Thank you.

Did you check with Atma-Sphere before making this statement, as it is always best to speak with the manufacturer before making possible invalid claims/statements?
