Brandy with your tunesBeautiful room and system, Guy. I'm curious about the diffuser on your left front wall. I've had it in my head that I could build one of these myself, and your seems just about what I would... posted over 9 years ago | View comment | |

SmilingHey Chris, yeah: I got the Zu's about 1.5 years ago but neglected to update my system page until now. For $1200 speakers, they are very, very good. I understand that Zu will unveil a Mk. II Omen in... posted almost 11 years ago | View comment | |

Zu DaredGood to know about your Fostex drivers, Djdonis. I'm at that critical window right now in which I'll soon be learning that either a) break-in is a real and significant process on Zus or b) they're ... posted over 12 years ago | View comment | |
Zu DaredNice system -- simple and clean. As an aside, can you recall the break-in period on your Omens? I just received a pair and we're at 50 hours. They've got the dynamics thing down-pat, but aren't dis... posted over 12 years ago | View comment | |

" Less is Best " to meThanks for the descriptions, 1gear. I'm intrigued enough by the fullrange thing that I've ordered a pair of Zu Omens to try out. Three more weeks to wait! posted over 12 years ago | View comment | |

SmilingI'm very happy with the integration. Because the subs are crossed at 45 Hz, they mostly supply room ambience and kick-drum impact. I've thoroughly experimented with placement and in the end I like ... posted over 12 years ago | View comment | |
SmilingI bought the speakers a year ago as I was just falling in love with audio. I suppose they're now the weak link in my system, but at the end of the day I can't complain about them as ~1K monitors. A... posted over 12 years ago | View comment | |
