Has anyone gone from Tannoy to Zu Audio?

I've not heard the Tannoy Legacy speakers unfortunately but I will say that for a 12 watt tube amp in my opinion the Zu Audio DW6 is several steps in the right direction.

Bandwidth: 30 - 22k Hz
Sensitivity: 99 dB-SPL @ 2.8V, 1m
Impedance: 8 ohm
 

Hmm... just afraid it might be a too big change in sound. I think Tannoys are considered to be very smooth, laidback and forgiving and Zus the other way round.
Thats the reason of the question. Maybe Zus will be too much of what I want to change in the Tannoys.

All of the Zu speakers I heard were extremely dynamic an d lively sounding, but, they were also bright, harsh and one gets tired when listening in sessions longer than a few minutes.  This is really a matter of taste, so one must hear the speaker.  I like lively sounding speakers, which is why I like some horn systems (I own a horn-based system) and some other high efficiency speakers, but the Zu is too far out for my taste.

I don't think that the Tannoys I heard were extremely smooth and laid back.  The Westminster and Turnbury models I heard were fairly lively sounding and "smooth" was not a term I would apply to the sound--there was a touch of a peak that made the sound slightly sibilant in the top end of the midrange--this issue notwithstanding, I liked the Tannoy speakers I heard.  If you are looking for something similar, but, to me, a little better sounding, audition Fyne speakers.  This is a company founded by Tannoy engineers who decided to make their own speakers.  The F1 model is particularly good sounding.

Hmm...  that was bad. Thought Zus were reveiling and "in your face",  but not bright and harsh.

I've been looking at Fyne. Problem is they don't have any speakers within my budget (aprox $6000) that will work with a 12w tube amp.

I've heard some Klipsch,  but I didn't like them (Heresy III,  Forte IV and Cornwall IV).

Sigh!
