Zu omen 1 DIY 0
Over the years I have enjoyed building my own speakers, open baffles followed by front horns, bass reflex single driver standmounts that I still use in the office and others that maybe more by luck than judgement have all worked very well. They are all compromises as most things are to some degree but since buying the Zu's I have no urge to build any more. I had started to get lowther alerions built by a cabinet maker who then pulled out which was a shame as I hadn't the time to make them. The drivers are sitting in their boxes in the listening room and every time I go in there I think about one day building those alerions just to know how they sound. Those DX45's are so good at what they do best, that's from about 200hz up, unlike the shouty 8" lowthers these are breathtaking.
But then today I listened to a variety of music in my list on Spotify including Boris Blanks Electrified album and wow they are incredible.
