I hate to be a Zu basher but I have heard the Zu at several shows and I hear a bad horn coloration in them. Yes they are dynamic and alive sounding but I have to say that the Vandersteen is a better speaker although it has its flaws as well.

Sounds like you'll have an answer once you've done this, not a note sooner. :-)

gonna be interesting.. Keep us posted.. Do you plan to run both on the same amp for comparison? One might be better than the other depending on the amp feeding them I would guess. Also, are you using the Standard definitions with built in plate amps?
