Magnepan .7s' vs Zu Omens

I loved my maggies with two subs . I had smg with velodynes way back . Had 3a then 1.7 with dual sunfires cj tubes it sounded fantastic . I must also say placement and treatment made the maggies soar . I am in the process of treating my new room .. Dual subs are great with maggies imo . dual 8" -10" although for rock i loved the 12" hsu sunfire for a g its pretty nice 

I have had mixed results buying used - admitedly, though, buying only electronics. Conversely, my experience dealing directly with Zu has been faultless. My first pair of Zu speakers were the Def 1.5s that I swapped for an early pair of Zu Def 2s since they were released during my Def 1.5's home audition period. When the Zu Def 4s came out, I was able to swap the Def 2s for the Def 4s. Just my own experience and preference.

gsm, thanks. Wish i could here the Zu's in person. Where I live that's nil. Thanks for the input, ZU seems to have a great reputation.

Beernut, enjoy your sub. I hope you can get a second, it really smooths things out. Those Maggies are fine speakers.
When a pair of Zu Omens or Superfly's come through Agon at a good price, I think you should try them. They really are pretty sweet.

I listen to primarily classic rock and 80's/90's college alternative.  I've been running Klipsch Fortes for the past 18 months, but have always been curious about Zu's and Tekton's.  I was able to pick up some used Omen's 3 weeks ago.

As much as I want to love the Omens - they look better, they take up less space, I've read so many great things, etc. - I believe I have concluded that with my room and my gear, the Fortes are a better, more live-sounding, more impactful speaker.  They just give me more "rock."  Now, I have an Outlaw sub (perhaps not a great sub) that I'm using with the Zu's, but I wouldn't say I've done a perfect job of blending the sub with the Zu's, either placement or levels.  It is definitely true that the Forte's go much lower with more authority.  Maybe if I got the sub set up properly, the Zu's would shine.

I have never heard Magnepans, so I can't opine on them.
