Zu introduces Soul 6


https://www.zuaudio.com/loudspeakers/soul-21

Major changes:
1. $5999 starting price
2. Okoume standard finish instead of hickory
3. Bigger cabinet - up from 31.5" to 36"
4. 120 days to audition in home!

Zu claims Druid 6-type performance, deeper bass than mk.II, more amp friendly, horn-like impulse response.
I am intrigued.  Soul Supreme is a nice value at $4500 so Zu must really feel this a step up in performance to price it above that.

I almost went for these but didn't want to deal with the supply chain uncertainty. Based on this review I'm glad I passed for now.
The thing I would add is that after listening to many products that Steve and other guys reviewed- the reviews tend to be an arrow aimed in a certain direction. Once you take into account the room, gear, tastes, personal abilities, language skills, breadth of knowledge, etc, things can change some. 
The Cornwall is fun. Not the best in clarity or depth of stage, but big and powerful with nice tone and less brightness than I expected. They had mids that I coud live with, unlike what he's saying about these 6's, but that's just me.  


Srajan has an ongoing preview that will become a review over at 6moons. He's owned a few models and always stays in touch with Sean and the guys at Zu.

All the best,

I gave up trying to read those six moons  reviews years ago. I couldn’t wade through all the verbiage. 
I've learned to skim thru his prose but concentrate on his technical explanations which he excels at. He's also the rare reviewer who'll put any piece of gear he has thru as many system permutations before settling on his decision.

As for the Zu piece, there are some lengthy explanations from Sean himself that are a treat to read. He's different than John DeVore but it's nice to listen to their philosophy and background when they have a chance to expand on it.

All the best,

I don't understand the love for Zu. Every time I hear their speakers at a show, it is one of the worst rooms. Constantly. Confounding as they often use Pass amplification. They do create a cool atmosphere though.

Maybe they make good speakers and just don't know how to set them up and drive them properly without distortion. Who knows?

Long story short; anyone planning a Zu purchase should first have a proper audition with their amplification.
