sunnysal Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Haven't heard it but tried lots of single driver speakers and was never really satisfied by them. The addition of a ribbon tweeter on the druid should help fill in the high end and add some detail BUT low end will still be compromised. I have heard some music played a modest volume in a small room that sounds convincing on single drivers speaker but overall they and I just didn't see eye to eye, or ear to ear. Auditioning, for any speaker, should be mandatory, but for these I strongly recommend trying to hear before you buy. best of luck, T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schu Posted November 24, 2014 Author Share Posted November 24, 2014 eh... not going to buy them I guess. more curious than anything. if there was an overwhelming vote of confidence, I might have considered it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joessportster Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 have not heard the druid, but i had a couple pair of the definition model, the drivers they use are decent enough as a single driver goes, I would think in a scenario used as rears they would do well as the bass is augmented by other speakers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shakeydeal Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 I auditioned a pair of Soul Supremes at a guy's house a couple of months ago. I had high hopes of purchasing them, but walked away unimpressed. Shakey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sunnysal Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 ok, devi's advocate time...some people LOVE single driver speakers! you need to audition to discover if you are one of those people. Most klipsch people IMHO are not signle driver lovers, they don't like the limited dynamics and frequency response. If you have a chance to audition, take it.

SuBXeRo Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 i think the Zu's look cool but my gut has always told me that they arent worth the cash. Then again, i have never heard them in person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justinsweber Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Zu speakers tend to not be as efficient as reported on paper. Many love them. The union is a 2k coxial with an eminence 10" and what appears to be a eminence ASD1001B... better be one amazing crossover for that $100 worth of drivers :-). Oh I forgot... they cut the dust cap away. I’ve had 2 customers who had the Omen and loved them... 97db efficient with 12ohm load. When run with SE amps the customers were not very happy (5-10watts) and stepped up to push pull amps as a result. They appear with good fit and finish but I think you could explore and find a lot of great 2k speakers. La Scalas and Cornscala too :-).
