I am looking to buy a pair of high efficiency speakers for my mini torrii. I am thinking dm944/945, but if you have something else you'd recommend, I'm listening.

Thanks, Jon.

Mark,  Thank you for the recommendation. I will check these out. As you can see from the Decware speakers I mentioned, I'd like to say under $1,000 if possible, but for the right speakers I'd be willing to pay more. I guess I should say I listen mostly to vinyl but also some digital, all types of music from classic rock, blues, jazz, and classical. Probably my favorite through is classic rock. Thanks again, Jon.

Mark,

Nice looking Zu Souls.  I am wondering if you have heard other Zu speakers.  I have the Omen DW MkII's.  I am considering something from the Soul line. Potentially the same speakers you have.  I would love to know if you have heard any other Zu offerings and if so, how they sound in relation to your Souls!

John

Jon,

Soul supremes are absolutely fantastic speakers. They pair really great with mk IV.

I would recommend starting with “dirty weekends” from ZU and move up from there.

DE are about 1k and soul supremes are 5x that.

You may also want to add undertone sub to the setup for ultimate low end.

Thanks,
RF

Jon, I don't think you'll need a sub.  I don't use one in the system with my Zu Soul's but in my primary system I had to try one.  I was unwilling to pay up for the Zu Undertone at $2850 ...even used they're too much but I'm sure they're great.  I opted for an older model of Omega's sub.  I think it retails for about $895 now and much less used.  It is very flexible and also is able to go into the mid bass territory. It blends easily in my system.

The Dirty Weekend is a good suggestion right at $1000 retail but they are not in regular production and do use some lower grade items to bring the cost down.  I include a link to the DW page below.  They say the next run will be in April or May.  Towards the bottom of the page they have a chart that compares the Omen MK II to the Dirty Weekend so you can see exactly what you're not getting.  I personally would buy used and get a higher model that someone has broken in for you.

Thank you all for your thoughts and suggestions. It does sound like the Zu’s are getting a lot of positive praise here. I will give them night consideration. Unless I find an absolute steal, I’m going to be patient and it’s this decision. I’d like to find something I know I’ll be happy with.

Thanks again, Jon.

Forgive me if I sound like a Tekton fan boy..
I have a set of Double Impact SE’s on order..!!
Should be a step up from my Seas Pendragon’s..
But While in waiting, I’ve been having buyers remorse, thinking that maybe “The Perfect Set” speakers would have been a better contender for lower level listening.. Not to mention Easier to fit in smaller rooms, and also Easier to place closer to the rear walls (front ports), than the D.I. SE’s ..
There is a review that’s coming out on “The Perfect Set” soon...

If I hadn’t bought a ZMA last year and DI’s on order..

I would be Highly debating pairing “The Perfect Set” with a 25th Anniversary Amp, or a pair of 25th Modded mono amps..

I would echo the opinion that you try Omega speakers.  I unfortunately need to part with a new pair of Omegas that I purchased recently, but my initial impressions are that Omega speakers are truly something special.
