Anyone receive their Zu Druid VIs yet?

OK, so my Druid VIs arrived--days before I expected. 

Way too soon for serious reactions, but they sound really good (perhaps great?) cold out of the box.  I have no idea how long they burned in at the factory, but they do have the tell-tale "just slightly slow" sound that brand new speakers all seem to have for me...songs you know super well sound just the slightest bit off from a timing perspective.  This usually goes away with 12-24 hours in my experience.

Tonally they still sound like awesome high-end Zus, but I might suggest that (at this second) they tilt just the slightest bit more toward the pinpoint accurate and detailed hi-fi sound.  That statement is not really a compliment coming from me--but don't read too much into it--they don't sound like hi-fi speakers that I despise.  I'm also only about 9 feet from them and I think they will ease a bit with break-in and also gain a little more front-to-back depth in a day or two.

They look frickin' amazing, btw.  My mother-in-law happened to be over when my son and I unpacked them, and actually said "gosh, those are really good looking speakers."

More to come as they break-in.

Nice! What finish did you get? I really like the look of the V, but the VI is definitely more visually refined. 

Cant wait to hear more about your experience and how it compares to your other Zus.. my biggest thing is if they are going to be worth the cost-up from the V. 

Black Hole Black Matte.  My Undertone is Matte Black Nextel and I would have assumed them to be the same, but maybe I’ll look closer and see if there’s a discernible difference.  They’re both really awesome looking.  I think my Soul Supremes are the same as the Undertone.  The matte black is stunning on these speakers.  My Unions are gloss black, which is also really sharp, but the mattes are killer.

Sounds nice! My Druids are Piano black.. but I feel the VI might lend itself to the matte finishes better. I also sort of struggle with an additional $2K for the gloss finishes on the VI. 

Is it possible for you to post pictures on here? I tried to send you a PM but I guess that isn't a feature on audigons forum. 

i don't think I can post pictures here unfortunately.  I IM'd you my email so I can send them to you.
