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.

The loading on the bottom of the speaker is critical IME. If incorrect, you simply are not getting all the bass the speaker has.
How much do the superfly weigh? I'm pretty sure my box can power them real good. Just need to find a carry harness and save for some ic's and i might be shelling out the cash.
Whew! Finally finished reading all 11 pages of this thread. Took 4 days!

Jslate, your preference for the Superfly's over the sttaf's and Model-1's, could you elaborate? Before I started researching Superfly's, these two Totems were in high contention for me. Could you give me a comparison on how they differ? And why you prefer them? Or anyone else experienced with Totems that now have Superfly's (Rockn, did you get yours yet)? I have heard the Model 1 and was very impressed with them many years ago, but would prefer a lower bass extension, and a speaker that would perform well at my late night, low-level listening levels when the rest of the fam is asleep, and they need to rock once in awhile. My music consists of mainly rock/pop/adult contemporary.
One thing is sure- you won't have any troubles getting a set of ZUs to rock. Totems on the other hand- all the ones I have heard have needed a lot of power to get going, but once they did have that power, they did quite well. Overall though the ZUs will have a greater dynamic range.
Troy, I've had my Superfly's for almost a month & I couldn't be happier. Sound is very dynamic, clean & detailed. I'm a big Totem fan, having owned the Model 1 & now the Forest, so clean dynamic sound is what I'm after & the Zu's have it in spades! As far as low level listening, I'm listening to Radio Paradise on my Squeezebox Touch right now through my Peachtree ideeco with the volume at about 7 o'clock with 6 being off & it sounds full & detailed..awesome! If u want to rock like I do sometimes, volume at 11 or 12... u better close the doors & windows. These speakers r like Totems on steroids! Must be the 10" full range driver. BTW a lot that is said in these forums is true as far as break in & placement. Mine r still breaking in, maybe 300 hrs & getting better. Played around with toe in & once u find the right spot & they lock in you'll know it!
