Zu Definition, AG Duos orCoincident Total Victory?

I am looking to upgrade my speakers and would appreciate your kind advice.

My amp is a Pathos Acoustics Twin Towers Hybrid (Tube input stage with 30wpc SS output stage) Integrated fed by a Musical Fidelity A300 CD player through Harmonic Tech Magic One IC. Speaker cable is PSC R 50. I am striving for improved micro detail at low volume.

Can you advise whether the Zu Definitions, AG Unos/Duos or Coincident's Total Victory may be a good match.

Thanks

I have no experience with the mentioned speakers 'cept the Definition 1.5s. Wonderful detail at very low volumes. I run mine with an Audio Sterling Premier integrated. 18 SET watts to die for. From my experiences, as well as many others, the Defs can be brutal on SS. My Definitions are almost fully broken in. Electrostatic speed, midrange to die for, and the highs are airy, light with excellent dispersion. You may not find these results with your amp. I was told early on, that the Defs are very sensitive to amplification: may be more important with these speakers than the source. The absolute most enjoyment I have ever had from a speaker since my Magnaplanar Tympani 1D days. peace, warren :)

I have to strongly disagree with undertow. The Definitions will not deal well with low end SS. In fact they might not deal as well as you may think, with the very best that SS has to offer. The Defs are very unforgiving with SS of the highest quality. You did say that you're looking for "micro detai at low levels." If you're thinking Zu, think SET. 101db!! You'll never look back..
