Zu Druid questions

Just to confirm, yes Zu does break in the speakers now. I saw the burn-in rack myself. I think Sean said they get 100 hours before they leave.

I read elsewhere they only did this with their top of the line model. If I decide to order I'll find out for sure.

I love the sound of my Ushers, but because of my living room and the big entertainment center, they're a beach to place. The slant and size make it difficult for me to get them out into the room where they can breath without the wife throwing a fit.

I was thinking the depth of the Druids might actually work to my advantage. I'm also seriously kicking around the idea of just turning this system into a HT and using a spare bedroom to set up a two channel rig.

Problem is this room is only 13'6" X 12'6" so the 6381's are a bit big, but the the Druids would probably fit in either situation. This would mean some major moves.

Oh no, am I looking for an excuse to upgrade yet again? :-)

Jack,

I agree that your room at those dimensions are not doing the Ushers well. One thing I wanted was a better near field speaker, and would say that the Druids fit that requirement very well. My room is 19 x22 x 8 and I still thought the Ushers ( both 81's and 71's)could benefit from a larger space

Some interesting comments no doubt from all of us above, and we are glad to help. Let us all know what you ultimately wind up doing.

+++Broccoli gives me gas.+++ I'm having that reaction to all the chatter about "measurements". Lab measurements are so very useful-if everyone who bought the speakers set them up in an anechoic chamber with no furniture. I wouldn't find music nearly as entertaining watching it on a 'scope. IMO.

Yup. Listen to them. If you like them, then you keep them. If you don't like them, then you send them back. No measuring required.
