Dealers overrate everything they sell ... Audiophiles overrate everything they own ... Writers overrate everything they review. (Oh and dealers UNDERRATE everything they do not sell and audiophiles underrate everything they do not own - vicious cycle).
Of what I have OWNED the Zu Druid Mk IV was probably most disappointing as compared to the glowing reviews. Never sure if a component is just not playing nice with my ancillary gear or not as MANY others have had positive experiences with these speakers.
Ayre?? Not my experience! Sound quality, reliability and customer service from Ayre are absolutely superb IMO. All my Ayre gear (and I have a lot) was purchased used, so value is excellent as well. However, I don't like dealing with their dealers.
