I will go with a friend this weeked to hear a pair because he is looking for an All-in-one (dac, amp speaker) system that can also be used with wireless. The Zero-1 is the best of that kind of thing I know of since A) It is horn/hybrid and B) Doesn't use Class D amps for the critical mids and highs.

I have heard it briefly and was pretty impressed. It is not quite as tonally realistic as my Odeons + good SET amp but given that they opted for an all SS solution for the amplification it is not too bad.

They sounded fabulous playing Stevie Ray Vaughan's Tin Pan Alley, but were limited by the small room compared to lesser speakers in larger rooms at the show.

 

I also thought they sounded very good at the CAS. NT, posted on August 22, 2015 at 18:46:14
