ZU OMEN speakers 12ohms??

In most rooms you will be challenged to clip a 35 watt tube amp on the Omens. They are easy to drive and rewardingly great sound too.

Atmasphere , do yo own a pair,had a listen yet of them? If so could you define the bass for me? Thanks.

Has ANYBODY outside of the Zu factory actually heard the Omen, yet?

I listened to the Omens at length at the RMAF last month and they absolutely destroyed quite a lot of the competition costing multiple amounts more. (No, I don't work for or have ANY connection to Zu). The fact they were selling them for $995 pushes them past the Magnepan MMG as the best speaker for the buck out there, in my opinion. My wife was so mesmerized by the Zu sound she ended up ordering a pair of the Soul Superfly's which we are anxiously awaiting. To answer another question in the thread, the bass is punchy and tight and unless they were in a large room I don't think you would need a sub.

The thing I like about the Zus on paper (having never actually heard them), in addition to their high efficiency, easy load, and supposed ability to go loud well, is that they use a single wide range driver for most of the sound, supplemented by a tweeter that crosses over relatively high compared to many designs, at 10Khz or so as I understand it. That is one of the attributes of the OHM Walsh speakers that endear them to me (they crossover at 8khz or so I believe), so the Zu's are a design that I would really like to hear some day.
