What wood do you think sounds better, Sapele, Bubinga or Ziricote?
ZMF has said many times that the wood types make a very small difference in sound,and wood types should be chosen based upon which looks the best to you.
I had the Silkwood and Pheasantwood Verite here with me at the same time and can agree that the audible differences were quite small.
Big problem is taxes, I think I'll have to pay like 200-500$ to import them...
I do not know the rules and laws of Switzerland,nor the EU in general,but I do know that ZMF has European dealers in place already. Perhaps buying from one of them might end up being cheaper than buying directly from ZMF. I believe there is a worldwide dealer list on the ZMF website,or you can message @zach915m and ask the man himself.
How would the Aeolus compare to the LCD 2C?
I havent heard the 2C.
I used to own the LCD-2 pre fazer though. The Aeolus and LCD-2pf share a similar warm sound,but the Aeolus has better detail retrieval,better mid bass slam and much,much better mids.
The Audeze had better sub bass extension. I cant comment on other details such as sound stage and imaging as Im going off of memory.
