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.

My thoughts at the moment are that it would take a very compelling speaker or an abysmal, unworkable room to move me from team Zu again. These speakers are so harmonically complete, meaty, and tonally saturated while being wonderfully transparant. I can't even imagine what the nanotec drivers will bring, but no I've gotta have 'em.

My VR-33s were nice speakers, but these things are giving me so much more of everything... I don't mean to de-rail my own thread but... damn!

Welcome back Gopher! I checked out your system over at AC, lookin real nice! Always liked the gloss black finish. I might have to look into those nanotech drivers myself as I'm still amazed with the sound of my Superflys. Hard to imagine they could sound better. Keep us posted.

From the 30 minutes or so I spent in front of them I'll say the nanotecs are a very worthwhile upgrade for the Superfly. My Superflys never had the level of resolution and refinement the new driver did. Staging also seemed a lot bigger--overall it was just a more complete listen.

I've got the nanotecs ordered for my Definitions now and am eagerly awaiting their arrival in about a month.
