Zu Soul Superfly

I believe you mean this:

So what amps did we use in the development of Soul, amps that gave us a good idea of matchups, amps we had kickin' around:

Audion Black Night 845
Allnic A-6000 (with 16 Ohm option)
Allnic T-1500
Bryston LP2
Denon PMA2000R Mk4
Dynaco ST-70
Leben CS-300
Manley Mahi/Mahi
McIntoch MA6600
Melody I-2A3
Melody M-300B
Panasonic XR-25
Pass Labs XA30.5
Peachtree Nova
Redwine 70.2
Yamamoto A-08S

Best Value: Dynaco Stereo 70, no mods, with original Mullard tubes. Yeah, it's awesome, use the 16 Ohm tap and get ready to rock!

That is the list! Thanks. There was a more curent one where they actually made quick notes of the virtues of faults of each on the list, but that will do nicely.

I have the Presence and very little feedback has been out there on this speaker.

For those who have heard it where does it fall in the Zu line up?

I am hooked on the Zu sound and will get the Def2 when the time is right.

The RWA 70.2 sounded like crap next to the AS S30. How does crap sound? Like the RWA 70.2.

The Presence was an excellent speaker albeit now discontinued. I believe. Basically more in common with the Defs than the Druid in terms of the bass design so probably sits between Druid and Defs.

Very little to fault it on based on my limited listening experience (part of an afternoon in the company of lots of Zu and Naim gear).

The big issue really was the look. I'm not referring to the triangular shape. More the grill than anything. Made it look very 1950s or art deco and that severely limited the number of homes into which it would be welcomed IMHO especially when combined with the price.

Sufficient reviews around if not exactly an excess. Start with the links on the Zu site.

Love or hate the look of the Presence. In our home it fits and for the $$$ is a great sounding speaker.
