Efficient speaker: Zu, Tekton, Volti, Klipsch, Fleetwood?

I would guess the same weaknesses of the DeVores (If you feel they exist):

1. Very sensitive: Any noise in your system will be more apparent.

2. Revealing: Any changes like interconnects will reveal differences more, poor recordings will sound poor, great recordings will sound great

3. Myself, never enough bass. Unless one gets a speaker with a big honkin' 12-15 woofer, I will always want more bass. That is why I run a sub. I could have $100,000+ Wilsons and would add a sub. It's not just a ZU thing. 

The O96s that @tubebuffer mentioned sold in one day despite prior delivery by Bender at Planet Express.

They were located right around the corner from me, and I've got to admit I was tempted as I ponder my chances of moving to a space too small to keep the beloved Soundlabs. First world problems! Cheers,

Thank You for taking the time to describe your room dimensions, seating position, ect.  That info is very helpful. One thing I noticed, that has me concerned, is the lack of space between binding post on the Super 9's. The positive and negative post appear to be very close to one another.  Do you or have you used spade terminations?

I have Cardas Clear Lite S/wires.  The spade OD are 1/2" wide X 1/4" ID. Do you think they would fit ok?  If I have done the math correctly; I would need 3/8 of an inch gap between the post.  That would leave about 1/8 of an ich gap between the two spades when connected to the terminal post.

Thanks again

I use bananas, although I do recall using spades when I first got them and didn't notice and problems. I have the speakers boxed up right now as we are preparing to move, so I can't measure the space.

Again, Thanks for your help

Tone Audio in SFO should be able to provide the dimension.  Im  thinking about calling them in the AM

Thanks

PS: Good luck with the move
