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.

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.
My Soul Superfly arrived about 10 days ago. Not properly setup but connected to Golden Tube Audio SE-300B II SE fed by Wavelength Proton and iMac.

They're really nicely made speakers. WAF was low but improving. Cosmic Carbon is OK.

Even badly setup they're pretty good out of the box. Sounding promising...
