Zu or Mark & Daniel

Since I cannot hear either of these speakers wondering if anyone had any insight on how these speakers compare. I am specifically looking at the Druid Credenza's or the Mark and Daniel Ruby/Topaz's.

Room is a 18 by 16 family room with 10 foot ceilings. There is a 8 foot opening on the left hand side that leads directly into the kitchen. I have a 74" long x 34" tall media credenza. Speakers would sit roughly 22" off the front wall all the way to the edge of the credenza.

Electronics are:
Amp - Virtue Audio 2 with 130 watt PSU
Preamp - Grant Fideilty Tube DAC
Technics SL1200mkII
Cambridge Audio Azur Phono Preamp
Apple TV

I listen mainly to electronic music, alternative and classical rock.

If I went with the Mark and Daniel I would set them up on auralex mopads.

I ended up getting the Mark & Daniel Maximus Mini and moved my setup to a smaller room. The Virtue 2 pushes them with no problem and bass is stunning from these little speakers. They sound fantastic. I did try a more powerful amp (Lexicon) and although bass performance was better the midrange and highs were not as good as the Virtue.

Probably still going to pick up a pair of Zu's eventually but very happy with the Mini's.

BTW the Virtue is not a class d.
