Integrated for Zu Presence

whats up? what happened to the wilson/bat stuff? this is a radical move.....the integrateds named are great.

i sold them many moons ago as i believed at the time i was going to move to another state----things have changed and i am staying put, so i am thinking of going the high efficiency route.

Cheers,

Keith

Do it.. Looks like there is a first pair used up for sale right now you can probably get a deal on... I would look at the Cayin A-70T amp, getting a ton of great reviews, built awesome, good power, good features including a remote and can be switched from Triode to ultralinear etc... to nail down the sweetest or the most powerful sound, you can audition one for like 1900.00 brand new too.

Good Luck

Check it out Keith:

EAR 894 Integrated
Push-pull stereo integrated amplifier. 50 wpc into 4, 8, or 16 ohms. Uses 6L6, EL34, or KT66 output tubes. Self-biasing. (very sexy)

Ars-Sonum Filarmonia
30 watts RMS per channel at 8 ohms. Its output stage makes use of a pair of hand-matched E34L pentodes in Push-Pull configuration per channel. The E34L is a special version of the EL34/6CA7 tube. The drive and phase inversion stage uses a JAN5814-A (E82CC/6189/12AU7/ECC82) double triode, whilst the input section is driven by an E88CC (6922/ECC88/6DJ8) double triode.

Just finished reading about Zu Presence last night.

I like their approach of design (angled box also used in Marten Design latest Form speaker) and being innovative instead of building the same old MDF box. The dampening and stiffing methods for the carcass used resin glue found on boat hulls for additional stiffing.

I need to read more about the drivers but I do like the "10.3" midrange with the tweeter.

Good Luck,
