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.

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...

I would love to hesr your impressions......I love the Tranquility and Zu synergy. It is amazing.

What I was trying to say is that they have amazing synergy, Superflys or Omen Defs with the Tranquility. Liquid smooth, huge soundstage, great detail, with no digital edge or brightness at all........but I have not compared it to any of the big dawg DAC's.

Will certainly let you know. Should be able to compare the Tranq sometime early next week.

Did anyone here get the chance to compare the Soul Superfly to the standard Soul? Zu is closing out 20 Standard Souls in the beautiful Walnut finish for $999...

If I had the cash to leave it in storage for a while, I'd buy it to put in my next living room with my Redgum integrated and move the cosmic carbon Supeflys into a dedicated space.

Hard to rationalize buying speakers to store at the moment, but dang...
