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.

Awesome, Roscoe!

Did you ever swap the 6SN7s from the stock Sov? I really hated those tubes and was not happy to be using them in the pre to show my rig.

Gopher, you and I are on the same page with the Sovtek 6SN7s. We've not used them in over 12 years. Are they what were in your S-30 when you had it??

Hey Fred,

Yes, I am running some Sylvanias in back and Tung-sols up front at present in my S-30.

Still adjusting to the Soul Superfly's sound in my system. A bit on the forward side at present, would be my main concern. My speakers were floor samples, so not sure how broken in they were. But will see how they change (or I adjust) over time.

I will also be playing around different DACs and some RCA tubes to see how they might affect things.

Hi Roscoeii,
Everything that you change will make a difference, which is a blessing and a curse with these speakers, as they just keep getting better and better over time!
And yes, they will likely keep breaking in for a while......what is the rest of your system?

I have an Atmasphere S30 Mk II (with jumpers to reduce the gain), a Musical Fidelity kW preamp and a Weiss DAC2(=Minerva). Think I will try out some different DACs soon: Tranquility, Rega and maybe the Hegel HD2. If I keep these, selling the Weiss will help offset the cost of the Superflys...
