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.

PS I think 213Cobra might have already provided his answer in his last post to mine.
Here is some insight from someone who knows very little about "audiophile" talk, doesnt care for graphs and isnt even sure what a push pull amps even is.

I bought the SuperFlys on whim only b/c of their intro special discount. (thanks ZU) I love playing rock and roll loud, the speakers look great, and I've been cranking them all week long in my apartment. In my case Zu did an excellent job of marketing to a new consumer base, im 27 and bought these speakers over a new TV and im glad i did because "Since I've Been Loving You" sounds soooo sweet cranked up. I hope Zu keeps up their marketing efforts to hit younger individuals who dont really know to much or care about specs, but that do LOVE the sweet Zu sound of their favorite band cranked up.

Thanks my 2cents,
CT,

Any chance you could make your two cents a dollar or more and give us some more detail? I appreciate you're not into the techy side and feel that's often a positive. Why should you hsve to be? However, when you're cranking them up what are you hearing? What are they doing differently to what you've heard before?

Also, how/where have you positioned them etc?

In a way it's all boring stuff but for those of us on another continent then it paints another piece of the picture.

Interested parties will note Gopher has gone AWOL. Presumably he's been kidnapped by music.

Glad you like the Ctaudio15.

I was actually in the same place when I bought my first Zus. Did not know much about speakers, repaired 30 year old speakers I bought from neighbours when they were cleaning out their garage, and now me and my family are listening to more music than ever before.

*If* you become interested in improving your sound further, I would suggest exploring careful placement and setup before spending money on gear. As you may or may not have noticed, this area is packed with people who obsess about gear, and there is very little discussion of music or actual sound. I have learned more about how to hear sound through experimenting with placement than reading any number of posts about "which speaker is best" etc. etc.

Zus play great loud : )
No such luck, Mike. I check this thread obsessively! I'm watching the Hot Fuzz HD DVD with the wife right now doing 2 channel HT with my Superflys. I love 'em!

I live in a condo so I can't really crank them hardcore, but they're "unreasonably loud" now keeping their composure very well.

They sound great with my First Watt F1, but Phil has me really curious about tube power...

See my system profile for pictures of my own placement. I am pretty audio obsessed, but my ability to play with placing is limited. If anyone has any suggestions based on what they see, I am all ears.
