Anyone receive their Zu Druid VIs yet?

Zu just shipped me some paint samples for my new VIs and I'll be making my decision on color in the next week or two.  We are leaning towards a matte red similar to Zus Sangria color with all black anodizing.  My friend took delivery of his VIs after RMAF last year.  He had the all black pair that Zu was showing off in their room.  I've been over to his house a handful of times and have been blown away at how amazing they sound.  Coming from Soul Supremes (which I love) I can't believe how detailed the VIs are down low.    

My wife and I are moving to a new home and our listening room will be around 700 sq ft.  We are planning to pair the VIs with two undertones and run a dedicated sub amp to help pressurize the space.  Based on so many Zu customer reviews, we are going with the Audion 300B SE.  I was thinking about snagging a pair of the Golden Dreams that were for sale on Ebay a few weeks ago, but was hesitant because of upgrades that had been done to them.  Was that you Parsons? 

Back to my impressions of my friends VIs.  As Parsons said, the sound stage is noticeably higher than the SS.  This is not a bad trait.  To me the difference is like listening to a band that is playing at your eye level with the SS compared to a band playing elevated on a stage with the VIs.  The VIs outshine the SS in every way in my opinion and that is hard for me to admit.  My Soul Supremes were my first Zus and they hold a very special place in my heart.  Personally, I'm not a huge fan of the sound he is getting from his amps and I think the 300b tube will be exactly what I am looking for.  Every person is different and that is by no means a dig at his awesome rig.

Do you have your new listening room up and running Parsons?      

  

I'm really excited to get mine set up in our home and start dialing them in.  I'm jealous that you've been running Definitions for a decade!  We were initially planning to wait for the Experience to come out, but we decided to sell our home sooner than expected forcing me to sell my Soul Supremes.  The Omens are amazing speakers for the money, but after living with the SS, it is just too hard to wait for the Experience to come out.  It is going to be very interesting to see how the new driver design trickles down (and up) through their line. 
  

@parsons Sorry to hear it is taking so long, but it sounds like you are having a good time auditioning some new gear.  Sean had mentioned that the Atma-Spheres are solid.  I'd be really interested in hearing them next to the Golden Dreams.  A lot of the people in the Zu FB group swear by Decware's gear, but I've also had people tell me they were lacking in areas and that they aren't true SETs.  Keep us posted on the new room.  I'm really interested in how it's going to shake out for you.
