Zu Dirty Weekend 6 went on sale today


The good folks at Zu certainly know a thing or two about creating hype around new products. The Dirty Weekend 6 went on sale this morning. It was positioned as a first come first served release with a November delivery. I bought a pair with the "supreme" upgrade. A little risky buying without hearing them first, but I figure I can probably unload them if they're not to my liking, since they'll probably sell out. Any thoughts on these or Zu in general for that matter ..

Would you say that the DW6 is the better speaker vs the Omen II, or just different?

zu considers them superior I would think being that bad believe that the omen cab design is scrapped  

 

 

 

I think in short @fendersrule you’re going to be happy. These have a very live sound.  I think they need to be carefully paired with equipment driving them…you mentioned your friend driving them with tubes. Paired with appropriately laid back gear they are just so damn fun. 
 

I’ve listened to a decent assortment of moderately priced hifi gear. These seem to strike a balance between detail and live sound. The holographic effect I think is elevated with the rear porting so I expect people to really enjoy tubes or tube pre’s with this speaker. 
 

I m super interested in what you and your friend think. I’m just a random guy on the internet who probably drinks too much. 

I think better but a little less forgiving. I’m learning that speakers all have trade offs. I think these are making some mad smart ones for the price. 
 

I’m just being totally honest and this is an early review but my brain is a little confused by the addition of resolution WITH forgiveness from the last few speakers I’ve had through my space. 

Awesome. Yeah, I’m curious to how well my Denon PMA800NE will play with it.

I’ll know soon enough!

Also, cheers!

Hell yeah!  Congrats!  These are fun speakers than wanna be turned up and party. That integrated should make some pretty music. These drivers are well known to do well with all kinds of equipment.  Very interested to hear what you think of the pairing.
