Heresy IV vs Zu DW6/Soul mk2

Hey guys, looking for opinions on Zu and Klipsch Heritage speakers.  I really like the looks of both brands, and am seeking a speaker that will work well with live concerts (Phish/Dead) for my living room system. Any pros and cons to be aware of?  Any others worth cross shopping? Also leaning towards the smaller models because I can’t have too much bass extension due to neighbors.

Zu all the way! Those Heresy's are an outdated long-in-the-tooth design. I was happy to sell mine! Let the stone-throwing by the Klipsch fanatics begin!

Get a good push-pull tube amp like a Dynaco ST70 to use with the Zu’s - I have one. Forget SET tube amps. None of them have enough oomph/watts to work well playing Rock - unlike the ST70’s nearly 40wpc!

I own the Zu DW6s and i've owned Heresy IVs. I prefer the Heresy.

I played a lot of Dead on my Heresy II’s, they present live music very well. Need to Add a sub to get all of Phil. Haven’t heard the Zu speakers, but being high sensitivity I am guessing they play live music well.
