Zu Omen Dirty Weekend Setup tips

Congrats.  DW's are relatively easy to setup but there are some things you can do to dial them in.
1. Floor gap: Zu recommends a quarter inch (CD jewel case width), I like to go larger, about 5/8" for a fuller bass sound.  Start with Zu's guideline and experiment if you are not happy with the bass.
2. I don't find Zu's to be that sensitive to distance from walls in my room.  Yours may be different.
3. Toe in: the more toe in, the more focused images and tone density you get.  But less toe in gives a wider stereo spread and will reduce any potential glare (for example a lot of hard surfaces in your room). I use a slight toe in so that they fire just to the outside of my shoulders.
4. You can also tilt them up slightly if you feel you aren't getting enough treble. I don't do this.
5. Crank 'em up!

Awesome we have whoopycat helping cat_doorman! Congrats on your new speakers doorman and excellent advice Matt.

Damn. They sold out in less than a day. That’s crazy. Glad I didn’t hesitate. Thanks for the breakdown, whoopycat. Sounds like messing with the floor gap makes the most difference. The bass response is the big unknown for me. The speakers I’ve had for years claim extension to 26Hz. It’s only the last few years that I’ve put them in a room big enough to take the foam plugs out of the ports and let them breathe. I hope the Zu get close enough that a lack of bass doesn’t distract from the areas where they’re supposed to shine. I guess I’ll find out soon enough. How good of a sub do you need to keep up with a Zu?
