-Zu dirty weekends mk ii are really good in my setup except one aspect. Made them better with clarity cap upgrade (smoother upper end) and with snubbers taking them from a 12 ohm load to about 8 ohms BUT they just lack low bass. They play low bass, and very tuneful, but doesn't move air.
-Vandersteen Model 3's- Don't sound bad, but don't have the detail or imaging of the zu's, but have the low end covered beautifully. Still have both not sure which I like/where to go next. If I could find a speaker that has the zu voicing with vandersteen bass, game over.
-Tried a pair of Rel T/9 and could not get them to blend with Zu's. Good product but the zu's low excurtion rate is tough to "match" with high excursion Rels. Timing issues I believe.
Not satisfied as of now with either but this hobby has no endgame I'm learning!
