Zu Druids upgraded Vs Essence

Wow, this is very distressing news. Ron Williams will be at my place on the 12th for a house party with the Essence. I will be comparing them to my Piega P-10s. I must say I think the Zus have their work cut out for them against the Piegas, but I am willing to listen. Any thoughts from the forum on how that might shake out?

It'd be presumptuous for anyone to guess what you would prefer.

Not really asking anyone what I might prefer. Just wondering if anyone has heard the two speakers might have an opinion.

You're hosting a listening session in your home to hear what the speakers sound like in your system, correct?

In that context, why would anyone else's opinion on these speakers matter? Wouldn't the opinions of others have the potential to influence your perceptions? IMO, they would.

If someone said the highs were piercing, or the bass was bloated (not saying either is the case...just a hypothetical), wouldn't you be listening for these flaws rather than coming into the session with an open mind?

If you didn't hear these flaws, would you accept what you heard, or would you search for the reason why you didn't hear what someone else heard?

Do you see my point?

I see your point. But after all this IS an audio forum. We all come here to solicit opinions or give them. Don't be so hung on semantics. You are being way too literal, lighten up. I know it's my decision to make and no one will make it for me. Just asking what others thought. Any harm in that?
