Shameless Poll: Pearl vs Ohm vs Zu


Santa Claus drops a pair of speakers under your tree in the middle of the night, what do you choose:

  • Pearl Acoustics Sibelius
  • Ohm Walsh 2000
  • Zu Union Supreme 6
  • Bonus Option: Something from Decware with a Lii Song Driver

Extra credit if you add an amp < $5k to the wishlist.

Danke

@yogiboy As noted above, I have a pair of Sibelius since early 2021. See post above re description and pros/cons.

BTW: RYT200/yin

I saw the Popori WR1 electrostatic speakers at the Capital Audio Fest. These were no joke, would love to find those under my tree (or next to it...). Would be a blast to see how they do in my room. Currently very happy with my setup as is. Was exploring a new DAC, but going to hold off and add phono first. Listened to Santana Live at the Fillmore 1968 on the rig last night and WOW! Bliss!

@oberoniaomnia Did you purchase them from a dealer or direct? Those speakers peek my interest. Can you please tell me what is the price range of them?

Thanks much!!

@yogiboy purchased direct, not sure there are any dealers. Another plus is the best interaction with Harley Lovegrove, owner of Pearlacoustics. Prices seem to have gone up significantly. I think I got them for around us$4k, now they are 8k ish. Prices are on pa website. I think there is a bit longer discussion of my experience on the pa website. Since then I got the sub integration working with a relt9. 

@yogiboy Ps. Here is my longer impression

If you want to audition them ask Harley whether there is an owner near you. If you are in socal lmk.
