Considering Zu Dirty Weekend over my current B&w 702s2
webking185 Have you compared B&W speakers with Zu? If not, how do you know which would have "better sound," or "better tone and mid-range." Who are the "lot of people" who say Zu speakers are bright and fatiguing? I own a pair (I believe the l... 
Considering Zu Dirty Weekend over my current B&w 702s2
I’ve been wanting to try a Zu speaker for awhile, so when they came out with the DW6, my ears perked up and I recently bought a pair. I’ve owned and loved 3 pairs of more expensive Devore speakers for the last 10 years, so that’s where I’m coming ...

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.

Hi Bradf. My current room is 19 by 15, I found the Super 9s sound best along the long wall, about 31-37 inches from the back wall (to the back of the speaker). They are 7 feet apart which means there's lots of space on the sides, and I found it he...

Thanks tsushima. I've been "up" the Devore line and my favorite is the Super 9, which I plan to keep. What is it about the Zu sound that attracts you? What would you say are the weaknesses?

Thanks low325. What do you like about the Deville?

Thanks for the advice, 213cobra. I am still considering the Soul Supreme, the WAF is high and I've always wanted to try Zu. I'm a little hesitant, though, because out of all the speakers on my list, these seem to have the most "personality" and fo...

Thanks for the advice fosolitude. I am leaning towards Volti and Fleetwood Deville. I used to have the Devore 96, it made music seem more physical and present than anything I've ever had but was too large for my room, so I went to the Super 9s, wh...

trentmemphis I agree that the Tektons are very plain looking. Cornwalls won't be necessary because we won't be listening at loud levels (mostly background levels), and the WAF isn't too great with those, either, due to the wide, squat appearance. ...

Thanks badgerdms, that's very helpful information.

bradf glad I could be of help. I've lived with the Super 9s for about three years so I know them well.

Thanks audionutjeff, the Fleetwoods are at the top of my list and if I can scrape together the $$ I will probably go with these. The Volti is probably my second choice.

Petecow thanks for the input about the Tektons. I am considering both the Lore and the LoreR, can you go into a little more detail about the difference between them?

David12 thanks for the Daedalus recommendation. I left them off my list but I am considering them.
