Interesting thread . I own Zu Omens, JBL 4312a’s that are pristine on Sound Anchor stands and Klipsch Heresy III’s . I love my Zu’s . I had a Modwright KWI 200 paired with the JBL’s and it was too dry . The JBL’s come to life with tubes at about 100 Watts . The JBL’s are near field studio monitors . And while sounding substantially better than the Heresys, are meant to have a flat response for mixing . The amp matching is important to get that sound you want . For me it’s KT88 or KT120 in a push pull configuration. I run the Zu’s on low power tubes . If I went SS, I’d get a First Watt. Also the best description of Zu is “ YOU EITHER LOVE THEM , OR HATE THEM”. For me it’s Love them . But I tube roll when I change music genres, YMMV . Happy Listening , Mike B.

Hello friends
I live in a modern unit!! of medium size!!
I/m running a pair of Zu soul's, on some recordings, sound great, other's could be better!!, I'm looking at the below, my amps are "audio labs" mono blocks!! approx 250 WPC
I'm looking for a speaker that "rocks"!!
I have a short list of speakers, that according from web sites, are a good match
1. Magnepan 1.7
2. Magnepan 1.7.i
3. Gallo Acoustics 3.5
These are some speakers, that am willing to consider
anymore more speakers, that you can recon-end??
