Zu Soul Superfly

LOL!

HK3490 will be step up from what I have now. I am serious, it's the amp I'm going to get.

The horn mounted supertweeter means Soul will probably still be pretty directional, so toe-in will make big difference to how soundstage resolves. You can do this in your space.

Druids with whizzer were even more directional, so once you were toed in and correct from wall etc. you were done. Since Soul has wider dispersion, I would consider placing small treatment in 1st order reflection on walls, but only if you fear attack is not as clear as it could be (time smeared)

Sweet spot is small with Zu's -- this is actually good thing. Big sweet spots do not exist IMO.

Anybody pair Zu's up with Naim? I have the Superfly on the way and have both a Supernait and Nait 1 at home to drive them.

ha, thats pretty funny, i figured people would laugh at me for using a $400 receiver with $2800 speakers.

Really want a peachtree nova, If anyone wants to send me one, please send me a note, ill even trade the 3490 ;-)

On the subject of imaging---I think it's a lot more a function of the room and placement, than speaker.

Since I had a Rives L1 solution installed in my room, imaging has been very good an every speaker to enter the room.

Hi Hifin,

I had Druids and then Essence with Naim amps (552/250.2, CDS3/XPS2) before moving onto Rega Isis CD, Rega Osiris with the Zu Essence.

A friend has Druids with CDX2/555PS, 252/250.2, which is very good.

I have heard the Zu Essence with the Naim Uniti and to me it was superior in all aspects of music than with £25K of Naim Electronics with the Naim Ovators.

I suspect that you will thorougly enjoy the ZU Souls with the the Naim amps.
Out of curiosity, what source are you using?

Best regards
