Zu Druids upgraded Vs Essence

Frankly, I believe there is harm in soliciting opinions about speakers that you are bringing into your home to hear for yourself in your own system and room. I've already mentioned the reason.

Beyond that, there are already many threads with opinions about Essence loudspeakers.

If you expect to receive input from someone who has owned or heard both the same model Piega speakers you own and the Zu Essence speakers, I believe you will come up dry.

Wow, this is very distressing news.

I think you're the one who should lighten up, relax, and not be so distressed about your choice.

If Ron is bringing along the new Zu Soul, you will be able to hear them vs. the Essence. The Soul is a little different, more similar to the Druids, as it shares the same tweeter.

"I think you're the one who should lighten up, relax, and not be so distressed about your choice."

Ahh yes. Same as it ever was........

It's what I've come to expect from you. No problem though.....

I apologize, Shakey. I just don't understand why you're distressed, as you mentioned being earlier.

Isn't the new Druid a totally different design than previously? Thought it was similar to the Essence in size and cabinet...the Druids they have now are bookshelf monitors. Anyways, it seems like many people have a lot of positive things to say about the Druids, while the Essence is more hit or miss per the individual listener. I've been looking at Zu speakers for a bit now....may try their 60 day in home audition and see what goes down.
