Zu Soul Superfly

Has anyone here heard the new nanotech HO driver in the Soul Superfly MK.1-B? Really curious to know how it sounds in comparison to the driver in the Zu Omen.

I couldn't compare it to the Omen, but I heard the nanotecs in a Superfly this past Saturday and it was pretty stunning. It was fed by a cherry amp which is an 'unusual' pairing for a 101db speaker at 700wpc, but it was a great match.

The resulting sound was more transparent, refined and dynamic then I recalled my Superflys being. The stage was also far bigger than I remembered. I got a taste of what the Def 4s could do at that same meet, but truthfully, upstairs the nano'ed Souls were more impressive for the coin.

On a side note, I'm returning to team zu! Tomorrow morning I'm picking up a Piano Black pair of Definition 2s which I plan to install nanotec drivers in. Speaking to Sean it appears they are far easier to place then the Soul Superflys and can get very close to my front wall which is a HUGE plus for me. Can't wait!!

Have mine 12" from the front wall with great results. You are in for a sweet ride.

Upgrade the super tweeter then buy the new Zu amp for the subs and do a little reinforcement of the box and presto you have MK3.

Oh forgot, rewire with Stage 3 Concepts wire for a better speaker than the Def4 LOL.

That's very encouraging. The wall distance will be critical for me as I'll just be clearing the 9.5 to 10 foot distance requirement.

I don't know that I'll go to that extent, though nanotec drivers are on the immediate to do list. Followed by that dac we discussed... After all that is done, I'll see if I even want for anything. I was initially thinking of putting the dac off pending the an amp upgrade, but hearing Zu has exhibited the def 4 with my Melody MK88 with great results has me wanting to put that off.

I'm picking them up in about 9 hours and am beyond excited!

I'm baaack!

The Def 2s sound incredible and I'm instantly happy with my decision to return to Zu. I'm planning on plopping some nanotec drivers in there and marking my speaker search as complete for foreseeable future.
