I will NEVER EVER spend another penny on a ZED product...I bought a first gen Leviathan and (2) Draconia's...ALL THREE had issues. I contacted Steve to get warranty work done on them...NEVER even got a response. I email (3) times, called twice....NOTHING. Towards the end I even offered to pay to have them fixed...and still nothing. I had to sell them off and took quite a $$ hit. Fvck Steve and his product. My story is not an anomaly either...the interweb is littered with people who got burned by that jerk-off. He may be smart, he may have been in the industry forever...but his own products were riddled with issues and his customer service was even worse.
At least buying mainstream equipment you KNOW what you're getting and they have the business infrastructure to back it up. I run a pair of JL HD900/5's and I couldn't be happier.
