Zu Essence vs. any Emerald Physics CS series

I am looking to replace some speakers with either the Zu Essence or Emerald Physics CS-2, CS-2.3, or CS-3s. Has anyone compared any of these? I am looking for the most accurate and detailed soundstage. I would sacrifice some dynamics for better soundstage and clarity. Thanks for any input.

Blindjim is correct. Zu's website has some reviews for the Essence. I just looked at it yesterday.

I have the Presence and for my room it is a keeper. Any amp with amp will drive them with great results.

I heard the two EP speakers a RMAF and like what I heard and was one of the better sounding rooms at the show. The amp setup for these speakers is a RPITA.

I was more than happy to see the Zu review in the current Stereophile.

Stereophile.
Why? Please elaborate.

BTW, anyone have any "grape vine" info on model revisions and/or new
models. For example, it would seem to make sense for Zu to install the
ribbon tweeter that's getting good reviews into the Presence, or another
model that presently uses the older tweeter.

Just wondering...
