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.

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.
Gopher,

Keep writing your experiences with the Soul Superfly, it is building the anticipation over here in the UK. Keep holding myself back from contacting their UK agent to see if they have arrived yet.
Mahughes has got first dem, so will be round at his for a listen, hope he has spare bed, as from you are experiencing loss of sleep is on the agenda.

Cheers

Gopher:

it depends on your room. mine us huge, and zu themselves say in large rooms you are better off with more watts!

Still though, I think in general, people think Zu's do fine with 2W-3W amps and, unless you are playing them in closet, I simply do not agree.

still, if you were happy with Abbys then Zus should be fine as well. Tonal density is much greater, as you have noticed, but you also need to turn up volume more than you would think for such high sensitivity speakers. I think Phil's point about impedence explains this.
Gopher,

Thanks for that. Viewed on an iphone first of all and they looked poor quality. Just got home and, hey, they look rather good. Looking at those I must say they look rather dinky rather than awkward as they do in the Zu images thusfar. They also look rather unequivocally grey. I fear cosmic carbon has been rather over sold :).

Anyway, thanks for that and keep the feedback coming.

The only thing Phil hasn't come back on is the type of music he listened to. It would be really good, if you can tear yourself away, to hear about what you're listening to and what they're doing to it. Where readers recognise music they know it can really help fill in the missing pieces of the jigsaw.

James, we don't do sleepovers since the eldest went to Uni. and her brother (3 at the time) asked when he could have a sleepover!!!

Mike,

No sleepovers! :( I have just wasted my time clambering over stuff in the garden shed for my sleeping bag in anticipation.

Cheers
