Keep in mind that Zu’s break in times are of the drivers only. They don’t break in the speaker as a whole. Zu posted a blog post awhile ago basically stating that 1-4 weeks of additional break-in time are necessary for pretty much all speakers.
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 ..

@fendersrule, Good point :-) |
What’s good @davidrolon ? How you liking your speakers/amp pairing?
Im digging the Cambridge CXA61 combo more and more. Their slightly more relaxed but detailed and accurate British sound pairs well with these speakers. The Arcam SA20 was somewhat fatiguing for me but not at all the case with this Integrated. Mad good deals on their eBay refurb shop too. |
I received my Union 6 Supreme speakers yesterday and set them up for an audition next to my Omen MK II speakers today. Let me start by saying I’m very happy with my Omen speakers but curiosity got the better of me and regardless of how hard I tried to fight the urge I eventually gave in and made the purchase. Directly out of the box the Union 6 Supreme sounds superb to my ears. I hear greater extension, more detail, and a crisper sound. The instruments and voices sound more as if they are in the room with a wider and deeper soundstage and in addition to that it sounds as if I have moved from row 12 to row 6 closer to the stage. I had such strong deep bass that I had to double-check and make sure that my pair of REL T7i subwoofers were not connected. Very impressive bass ;-) Equipment used: Allnic T-1500 Integrated 300B (12.5 watts class A) Audio Research Reference CD7 Power cords, interconnect, and speaker cables are all Grand Lavricables 5N silver. Music used: Hugh Masekela Hope cd and The Wonderful World of Three Blind Mice 24K Gold cd which has a great diversity of jazz tracks, Motown 50 Fanthology cd.

So I was reading up on Zu, and found this on their web site: "Not because of some great googly moogly “climate change” geopolitical power play nonsense" which sounds like mocking climate change or denying it, not sure, whichever version or half of it is enough to turn me off (besides the generally condescending tone of the section. I want to give them the benefit of the doubt, this was written in 2013 and they may have changed their opinion since then - but it’s a very dumb sentence regardless
