My view is that zu designed their speakers for tubes, thus, high sensitive and very easy to drive. That's why if u read the literature by zu, they actually say solid state amp may not be the best match. Why soul work (not claiming best match) for me with naim and devialet is the control. When i restrain devialet's power, I feel the soul are more controlled, as good as, or better than naim xs (without hi cap). I don't think anything is missing. I think my zu is appropriately driven. May be I will say something different if I have heard my zu with a tube amp. My 2 cents. Trust your ears.
