Three phase speaker cables…!
Who’d a thunk that? 
Shush - trade secret!!! 
Looking forward to picking up my revamped H6s on Tuesday. Headphones for the last six weeks I don’t want to repeat that exercise again. I’ve also got a Decca export I bought from Stu back from john Wright, I’m hoping it’s a good match for my moerch arm

A quick update on the Zu Definition 2
Early impressions are very positive. Placed about a foot from the wall with generous toe-in and the bass amps set at 12 o’clock (as per the manual), they initially fooled me into thinking they were a bit light in the bass…
Nope, not so. If there isn’t any bass in the recording, you won’t hear any bass (Captain Obvious…). The Zus go very deep, and the low end simply breathes - there’s no sense of anything being forced.
The presentation is refreshing - really natural. no shiny treble, no boosted mids and definitely no supercharged bass. They strike me as fundamentally honest. And they go very, very loud without breaking a sweat. Stupidly, senselessly loud (I couldn’t resist).
Did I mention that they are purple? They are.
Some tweaking of the bass level via the rear pots is called for, but I’m very happy thus far. The 250 wpc provided by my Gato is way beyond overkill here though. I reckon my old AI Second Audios would be purring at the thought of driving these beauties.
Anyone wanna buy some nice Impulse H2s?

Aren’t they actives?
Just re read,amps power the woofers
Yes - makes them easy work for an amp. The seller included a Crown power amp which he used in place of the built-in ones. Apparently, this opens up a whole world of room correction possibilities. I know nowt about that, but might look into it a bit further down the road. My room is a bloody nightmare acoustically.
Chuffed for you. Sounds like we’ve both arrived at a similar conclusion via very different means, speaker-wise.
Ain’t no replacement for displacement 
Indeed. I no longer see the point in speakers that only tell half the story - yes, there are some lovely standmounters about, and they do this and that really well, but meh, just meh…
Like reading a book with half the pages torn out.
When a recording plumbs the depths, the pit of the stomach is just as important a receptor as the ears.
All else is just bollocks IMHO.

Exceptionally well-put
In fairness, my predilection for bass may be connected to my inability to hear much above the frequency of a moderately squeaky fart.

Given the advancing years of most of us that’s hardly unusual - though tipping the sonic balance in favour of the bass will tend to have the opposite effect subjectively and make the treble seem more recessed and the sound warmer and woollier, so there’s certainly more going on.
Heard Zu Druids a couple of times - nice fast, crisp sound, imagine these will be better rounded but just as quick and lively.
No it’s not - why would you read a book with half the pages torn out?
Personally, I wouldn’t even start reading it.
