The ZC10M's paired with the ZROCK2 are more exotic, more nuanced, more esoteric in their ability to render textures and timbers. In other words, they are like a 1000.00 bottle of wine, vs. a case of the very finest craft brewed ale. If you want audio nirvana for the rest of your days, I can recommend you get both and switch them up every full moon. It's an end game scenario with either, but a real nirvana to explore both.
The point is, that any of the three simply smoke everything we've offered and basically everything everyone else is offering as well.
This is largely because of efficiency and frequency/dynamic response... aka coherency. At 100dB efficient, we eliminate 98% of the world speaker market, and really the only competition is expensive large full-range horns and or multi-driver open baffles. The problem is, the horns that would be able to compete are 4 times larger. The baffles that would be able to compete have 2 or 4 bass drivers in a vertical array which makes them a head vise speaker that is very shifty when you move your head.
The Zen Master Series sound like there are real musicians in your room, and are equally capable of transporting you out of your room to the venue if you choose to set them up that way.
These things are the real deal. Free of all cabinet resonance, all crossover distortions and susequent phase shifts, a perfect point source, with ZERO box distortions or colorations, and a sound stage that is bigger than room by a factor or 4 in most cases.
Go ahead and get a pair of small hi-end box speakers that are 86dB effect and pair them with your favorite 100~400 watt amplifier and discover how severely pathetic the performance is when measured against these. In fact just to make it fair, we will only run a 2 watt amp on the Zen Master Series speakers during the side by side AB comparisons and still you will be shamed into a worm that crawls out of the listening room and slides into the car and drives home thinking about how your going to sell you stuff to get a real pair of speakers.
These will eat up a pair of Infinity reference speakers driven by unlimited power to push all the ribbons and line source midrange drivers and eight woofers per side or what ever they have because the coherency will be far better and the speed will be far far far better. That will ultimately translate into a harder hit, and better definition. The scale will be about the same because the Infinity are too large for most rooms and do not benefit from economy of scale mathematics.
While proponents of multi-driver speakers with complex crossovers with lots of power featuring a high damping factor (time smearing negative feedback) will claim doppler distortion in the midrange in single-driver designs, they fail to recognize that their speakers are 86dB or less efficient. The truth is that a Zen Master Series speaker, particularly the ZF15M and ZF15L when turned up to live concert listening levels exhibit zero audible distortion because the the cone is only moving about 1mm at best. Even with multiple slow and sluggish hi-fi woofers to reduce xmax the woofers are still going to be moving 4 to 10 times farther and stop 4 to 10 times slower. It's not even a fair comparison, so don't believe the hype, it's just not true.
When you want to hear music sound real, instead of nice, you need drivers that don't move. The hit, and the articulation is perfectly realistic, much like the vintage console stereos of the 1950's and 60's but with far less distortion and coloration.
Please just make an appointment to come hear a pair of these or take a chance and order a pair on our 30 day home trial and see for yourself that in a world of hyperbole, fake news, hype, bullshit, and downright deception, there is a tiny island called Decware where you get over twice what you pay for.
