zu audio Help

I wouldn't think Rotel gear would be a good match with them. This is probably your culprit.

Before I attempt an answer, it would be helpful to know your room dimensions, relative placement, and what speakers you've used before Zu.

I own a couple of pairs of Omen Defs and found they definitely take some time and effort in setup to get them sounding their best. The bass is greatly affected by the amount of gap between the bottom of the speaker and the floor. Even small differences (1/8") can greatly affect the amount and tone of the bass (smaller gap will result in more bass output). The other thing I have generally noted with Zu speakers is they seem to like a greater spread than other speakers I have had in my room.

Thanks for the input!! I still own dc10audio instrument 8 floor stander which are now in my living room my wife like them there and she is the boss. I have a listening room (man room) that is 24 x 32 deep with the 9 feet ceiling PLEASE NOTE The Rotel gear is the top of the line Michi These are older Zu speakers like new not the newer ones I have played the dc10audio Berlin there which where natural dynamic and produced big solid bass with only a small woofer I thought the zu would be even bigger with two large driver! My room needs help?

Are you Zu's bottom ported? are you on wood floors or carpet?

when i moved my Superflys to a carpeted room i noticed the bass totally went away because the bottom of the speaker needs to be an inch or so off the ground. (the zu site has the recommended distance) i ordered some Herbie speakerfeet to raise my speakers off the ground and BOOM bass came back. had nothing to do with my amps that i kept switching. hope that helps.
