    the speakers look very very funky indeed. And if I ever decide I'm going the SET way, or build one (might actually do that... ), these will be high on my list...

    with a very powerful SS amp, though, I personally wouldn't touch them with a ten foot pole. Zu's all work with full range drivers, and a supertweeter combination, and all the full range drivers I've heard sounded pretty crappy with an SS amp...

    I'd be interested though, in hearing your impressions, if you ever decide to go for them...

    Keep them spinning,

    If I ever go for them, I think I'll get a Miniwatt N3 SET to drive them:

    It really would be sweet to have my beast SS amp driving a pair of inefficient 3 way towers in one room and the Miniwatt Set driving the ZU's in another... Now all I need is a 2nd job or maybe just a small win at the lotto and I'm all set...

    Ummm.... I think I'll pass on the SEX amp... That's just a little bit too 'funky' for me...
