Request to hear Zu speakers


Hello.

For the past year or so, I have stayed out of the discussions regarding Zu speakers.

In 2004, I attended their demo in Easton, PA. The Zu guys were some of the nicest, most fun and real people I have ever encountered in audio. I had my issues with the sonics, which I greatly attributed to room acoustics. And, they were most amenable to my suggestions, such as firing the speakers out of a corner of the large room. Still, it was a new speaker, so I allowed a lot of leeway. I put my faith into Zu being a young, energetic, and dynamic company who would find their way.

In 2005, I heard the speakers again. This time at Audiogon dealer Quest For Sound. Again, I feel the need to compliment the folks at Zu for being such good people. But, again, I had some major issues with the sound of the speakers. It could have been the room, it could have been break - in, it could have been the weather...

I would like to request someone who is an owner, and, obviously a believer, of these speakers, be they Druid or Definition, to allow me a thorough listen. Not that my opinion means any more than any other, but I normally take a definite stand on equipment. I don't want to say much more until I have given the speaker a totally fair shake, given the regard I hold the ownership of the company in.

Is there anyone who lives in within a two hour radius of Philadelphia who is willing to take me up on my request?

Thank you,
Joe

Well, I'd love to toss my hat in for a Los Angeles/Southern California listening session if someone would be generous enough to offer.

I heard the Druids at the VTV Show a few months ago, but the room colorations were making it close to impossible to truly hear the great components used in their system - Audiopax 88 amps, Melody preamp, Consonance Droplet cdp.
Hey 213Cobra/Phil,

I'll take you up on your offer!!

I'm in San Pedro(end of Harbor Fwy) and have a couple of nice amps to bring along if you want to try something new. Check out my system here and see if there's anything of interest.

Just about any day, any time, is good for me. I'm a consultant and work from home, so my schedule is ultra-flexible. Thanks for the offer.
