Awesome! Thanks for the pics Jeff! LOVE the blue but just won’t go in my new place. Got the Black Hickory
More pictures.
Wonder how much better they would sound if I hooked up a high quality 2 channel amplifier to the pre-outs on my Marantz.
The picture of how I set up the Zu's vanished so here it is again. The bottom finger ports need room to breathe and a rear tilt aims the tweeter at your ears.

Granite tile with a rubber fiber mat underneath. You wouldn't need the mat on carpet.
I replaced the factory spikes with partially threaded carriage bolts from Home Depot. Shorter ones in the back and longer ones in front to get the back tilt. Plastic caps cover the bolt heads.
The ports on Zu speakers are on the bottom and the closer they are to the floor the more the bass will suffer. The factory recommendation for distance from the speaker bottom to the floor "is just high
enough to slide a CD case underneath". This doesn't jive with what I learned from experimenting.

Do the Zu’s bolts not allow you to tilt?
Mine will be going on hardwood so no spikes.

What size are the bolts you are using?
I don't recall. Take one of the spikes with you and match the thread. I bought several lengths and experimented to get the best tilt and height. Look for the bolts that are only partially threaded like the large one in the picture that way the threaded part won't show. I suspect Zu buys carriage bolts and grinds them down to make their spikes.

Yeah. The Subdude Auralex is 15x15 and 1 3/4 inches off the ground. Looks perfect for the DW!
Here's a cheaper option, same exact thing basically. and Amazon so easy return, etc. I might give these a try as well.

Also, as you see, I have a basic Marantz NR-1508 For my AVR/Processor It has pre-outs for the left and right channels. Would you suggest a nice amp to use to get even more performance out of the ZU'S?
