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.

I got the email too. Non-plodded as I have my order in for Superfly but... could it just be a slightly more organised version of the Superfly release for the.... Soul. The baths add up - originally pitched @ £1,800 and now with $800 off. Same differential as Superfly.

Or...

i bought soul superfly. wanted a second system in the spare room. maybe i should have waited for sub-$1000 zu speaker, would have been more sensible choice - financially.

Superfly price is as it was. Zu has a code problem on the web site that they, for whatever reason, haven't been able to fix.

The new speaker should be startling for the $1000 entry price, but it doesn't undermine Soul or Soul Superfly. They'll continue to be worth their price differential over the new entry model. Sean and Adam have a long-standing objective to deliver a truly Zu-worthy affordable dorm speaker. It looks like they've hit enough breakthroughs in their supply chain to make it happen without giving up the Zu FRD. We get details next week.

Thanks for the insight, Phil. I always thought it kind of silly ( as you might have been able to tell from my posts ) that Zu would think it wise to raise the price on these like that.

Well, I'm excited to see what they end up releasing. I'm guessing probably a bookshelf speaker, given the price. I wonder if they'll be showing it at RMAF.
