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.

...so, they can adjust the price of the Omen on the website, and not the Superfly?

Not sure if you missed or are ignoring my post, Zanon. No standard Souls have been sold yet by virtue of the fact that they haven't released them.

They will be coming out in the near future and there will be an introductory pricing below the $1800 for them.

I don't know very much more about the Soul v Omen, but they look very similar appearance wise and if my understanding is correct and they employ the same loading with the same driver/super tweeter and the Omen has the new Mission internal wiring, I would probably jump on that over the Soul... That is unless there is more info out there to come which will further differentiate the two.

Zanon,

You are correct, as stated it doesn't make much sense. I don't know what the final price of the Superfly will be, but $1800 is still the target for the Soul and down the line when enough Omens are sold to bring production costs down they will probably lower the price to be more in line with the intro.

I don't know how far down the line that will be, but I'll ask the new CEO to chime in as I don't know what information is sensitive vs. what can be stated publicly.
