Integrated for Zu Presence

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,
Pierre

Speaking of EAR, there are EAR 859 integrateds for sale on Audiogon. I have used this amp with my Def 2s. If you like the EAR/Zu combination, this is more than sufficient power.

all the amps named are nice...would say that a push/pull design(ear) would get the most out of the speakers

Also consider the Melody amps. I have heard them with the Druids.
