Zu Druid MK IVs vs. Essences I used to own the Essence. I liked them and agree with above posts. Great for classical and jazz (which is my preference anyway). I foolishly sold them, but after a few other . . .	56
Is the Accuton driver that good? I've owned speakers with Accuton drivers and have a friend who has a speaker with them and the diamond tweeter. I believe the thing that makes them so appealing AT FIRST, is . . .	53
So Many Apogees for sale, and so few takers Maplegrovemusic: I agree. That certain someone has had annoying posts on this site for some time. It doesn't bother me that they disagree with someone, but the manner in which . . .	48

Joseph Audio Pulsar? I am in no way saying this because this monitor was just reviewed in Absolute Sound and Stereophile, but...........My friend has the Audience ClairAudient 2+2 and they are . . .	44
Anyone going to the NY Audio show today to Sunday In short, disappointed. Being an enthusiast, I love to look at components and admire craftsmanship, but sound-wise, not much "wowed" me. 80-85% of what I heard left me . . .	36
From pro to hi-fi and a little confused... If you need an active that doesn't take up a lot of space, then look into Quested 2108 active monitors	36
Why don't you like Mageplanar speakers? It seems to me that all of your ducks need to be in a row if you are to like Maggies. Meaning, issues that come into play are: amplification, location, aesthetics, etc. I only . . .	33
looking for advice on bookshelf speakers How about a full range driver with no tweeter	31
Best treatment for speaker feet???? I would stay away from granite. IMO, you need to ABSORB, not REFLECT. What I believe happens with granite for example, is the drivers move causing vibrations in the cabinet. . . .	27
Budget of $30K. Help me build a system I've never had the pleasure of hearing Merlins but I do see a lot of Merlins in systems being driven by Joule Electra amps. Don't know if this helps, just my .02	18
Speakers vs. headphones May I suggest sitting up against the back wall, but bringing your speakers out from the front wall more than 1/3rd into the room? Also, with a fairly wide spread. This way you . . .	16
Accuton based speaker list? Marten Gemme	13
Speakers to pair with a Red Wine Audio Sig 15 IMO, you really have the wrong amp for your musical tastes. With only 15 watts into 8 ohms, you've painted yourself into a corner regarding speaker options. I wouldn't have . . .	13
Best bookshelf for House Music Without question: Quested. They are active speakers. The model you need is the 2108 (I think). They have an 8" driver with built in amplifier. If you need a hard-thumping. . .	12
Seeking floorstander for low watt SET Hmmm...You use a low watt SET to listen mainly to classic rock? Well, I guess a Zu Essence may be your best bet. 10.3 inch woofer, 97 db sensitivity. Some folks are happy with . . .	10
Tekton KatzMeowV3 or Zu Superfly/Essence? I used to own the Zu Essence. After that, I strongly considered a couple from Tekton. I hear nothing but wonderful things of his designs. Long story short, I had Louis at Omega . . .	9
Omega Super 3 owners - what amp are you using? Any low-watt SET amp IN A SMALL ROOM will work wonderfully with Omega speakers. I'm using a Dynaco ST-70 with a pair of MaxHemp V2's with great results. Bass is a little shy but . . .	6
Esoteric MG-10 vs Volent VL-2 vs A. Zen Adagio Jr Had the Volents for a while. Very clean, detailed and transparent. They threw a very nice soundstage. However, I didn't find the bass to be as deep as some have said it to be. . . .	5
Recommend stands for Volent VL-2s? I had the VL-2's. I used them with Sound Anchor three post stands with very nice results. Sound Anchor stands are exceptional IMO. The blue dots you get with the stands really, . . .	5
Marten Speakers I used to own the Miles II and drove them with EAR 890 amp. Wonderful sound. Have you ever heard ceramic drivers? They're found in some of the higher priced speakers but they're. . .	1
