Zu Soul Superfly

"Also, the oddball Zu speaker referenced by Avonessence above is a recently-built one-off pair commissioned by one of Zu's suppliers, which essentially funded finished prototyping of an idea Zu had for a Definition-scale, Griewe-cabinet speaker (no powered sub). Consider it an exploration, not a product."

Nothing wrong in that whatsoever.

congrats on your speakers! I second Phil's recommnendation on 20W-60W, tube if possible.

I don't this Druids at any rate did their best with very low W amps. I also tried First Watt and did not keep for that reason.

I unscrewed the hard surface footers and threw the spikes from my Abbys in the threaded holes. The diameter of the holes was too small for these spikes, but I balanced them in there and now have a proper gap.

These speakers are amazing me. So much more information to my music than I was hearing previously. Much denser sound while being just as agile as my Abbys.

I'm impressed!

Zanon,

That is interesting. I really like the F1 a lot. It replaced a pair of tricked out Don Garber Fi 2a3 monoblocks on my Abbys. With SETs I always find myself worrying about tube life and wasting precious NOS tubes on background music. I get plenty of PRaT and fun factor with the First Watt and actually use my rig a thousand times more now than with tubes.

Part of the attraction to this particular speaker for me was the idea that I could swap it in for my Abbys and not really have to juggle anything else. I'm extremely satisfied with most of my components with the only part in question being my Well Tempered Reference (possibly a little too laid back for me).

I don't really want to get back on the gear-go-round especially in this climate, but as more Superfly users come into the picture, if someone has a particularly special experience with something reasonably priced, I might be tempted...

Mahughes,

I updated my virtual system to include some pictures of the Souls. I know you were interested in seeing non-professional, normal lighting, in peoples actual home pics.

My listening room doubles as my living room. I wish I had a dedicated space, but its getting the job done.
