Zu Soul Superfly

I just ordered a pair of the new Zu speakers on a whim. I was going to wait for information, but the fact that they threw in the free superfly upgrades to the first 30 people got me.

From a similar thread it sounds like some of you guys have heard the speaker despite information only being released today. I'm wondering what you can share about it?

Also, I am really hoping it works with a Firstwatt F1 amplifier. Can anyone comment as to that? I know the Druid's and Essences worked OK.

Zanon,

You are correct, as stated it doesn't make much sense. I don't know what the final price of the Superfly will be, but $1800 is still the target for the Soul and down the line when enough Omens are sold to bring production costs down they will probably lower the price to be more in line with the intro.

I don't know how far down the line that will be, but I'll ask the new CEO to chime in as I don't know what information is sensitive vs. what can be stated publicly.

if my understanding is correct and they employ the same loading with the same driver/super tweeter<<

It is not correct.

They employ different full range drivers. The SSF is a newly developed full range driver whereas Omen uses the Druid Mk4/08 full range driver.

Thanks for clearing that up Bill. Is it the same super tweeter?

Basically it sounds like this may be a Druid with better bass?

Where did that extra couple DB efficiency go?

From the respective specs pages:

Omen: Zu260FRD/G4
Soul: Zu260FRD/G4HO
Druid: Zu260FRD/G2-08

The Omen might not have the exact same driver as the Soul Superfly (not sure what the HO designates) but it is certainly not the same driver as the Druids.
