RE: Ping Freddyi , Where to start? Karlson - a bit for starters

Freddyi,
Well there are a fine-meshed net over the vent, and I honestlly don´t know why.
Perhapps to keep meddlesome diyers out :-)
As for your questions about the similareties to the B102 radiator, I just dont have the knowledge about the Zu radiator to answer your question, Perahapps anyone else here at AA could answer that question.
When you menthioned your hi power amp I recall about some advise I got from Zu regarding the Druids, many people (like me) use the Druids together vith low power SET amps because of their high sensitivity.
However, the Druids are rated 300 Watts and many SET users never get them breaken in at all. The cone movement is so low...
That are really sad, because when breaken in, its a total different speaker.
I used a 50W PP amp, playing them front to front (one out of phase) about two weeks before listening.
Now I have own them about 1,5 years and still hear improvements !

So, for other Druid/SET users, my best advise for improvement of the Druids are, borrow a high power SS amp and let them play at high volume for weeks and weeks.
Or better borrow a house at the countryside, because whem using 50-100 Watts they play extremely loud!
I´ve never came across a speaker needing so much heavy duty burn-in.
When speaking with Sean at Zu about this, I understand that it is possible to get breaken in Druids for delivery (at least this was possible a year ago).
