Has anyone gone from Tannoy to Zu Audio?

@aldnorab @jtcf says. Whilst the DW stuff is easy set up much of the rest of the range takes time. Once in the right position they can take weeks and months to settle. Mine were still improving a year after purchase. Pretty much zero chance of pulling any of that off at a show. I’m not sure why Zu even go to shows. At ho,e and settled they are ludicrously dynamic, non-fatiguing things of wonder.

I’d say definitely try some different amps with your Tannoy’s if you really do like them it’s worth it. If you want new speakers someone suggested Volti that’s a great though. Their Rivals would be a bit above your budget but not the Razz.

Just saw your post that you're in Sweden have you considered Audio Note? A pair of AN-E's might do it for you and can probably be found used in your price range.

@mahughes thanks for the reply. My biggest worry is the upper midrange and highs. I'm sensitive to that range and worry there wouldn't be enough refinement. I've had that problem with Klipsch speakers from ~20 years ago. Exciting, but ultimately a little relentless, for me. I like my friends Lowther in a midrange horn with Altec horn tweeter. But the size and cost are hefty.

What well known speakers are the DW6 most like in tonal balance? JBL/Klipsch, KEF, Magnepan, etc.? Seems the economy is holding down sales of the ZU DW6. I remember past DW selling out in days. The DW6 have been going almost a month.

Thanks,

Just wanted to point the above out. I have no idea if the Zu sound would be something you guys would like. You could phone them and inquire about the sound and the above return policy.

Once again someone that speaking about live sound when describing Zu:s.
What do you mean whith sounding live?
John Darko said something like they sounded like a mini PA-system!!! 
I don't want a recording of a jazz trio in a small club to sound like they were playing through a PA-system. 
I mean, most recordings are done in a studio, they shouldn't sound like they were playing through a PA-system.
But you went from smoothness to Zu anyway. Interesting.

I have tried several amps with my Tannoys (Tube Technology Unisis Signature, Line Magnetic LM34AI, Moonriver 404 Reference and my 12w Sterling Stereo Plus Anniversary KT88 power amp + Audion Audio Premier 0,5 Line level pre amp) and the speakers sounds very nice, but then I have to crank up the volume a little too much for my liking. And when I crank up the volume my 12w tube amp doesn't have juice enough to hold the sound stage together (so to say).

Having the chance to return them is rather easy for you guys in the US, but returning them from Sweden is a different story. At least when it comes to shipping cost and fees.
