Zu Dirty Weekend 6 went on sale today

 I don't have DWs but do have Omen Defs.No one ever speaks of them though,lol!Reading about DWs and other Zu products is always of interest though.Which components compliment their sound,positioning in peoples rooms, etc.I was completely smitten within minutes of first turning mine on.

I'll be interested in hearing about the new and improved speakers, when people actually receive theirs and can describe what they are hearing.

I’m also very interested to hear what people think of the new design.  Sounds like a decent sized batch of the DW6 are going out Friday of this week.

I’m also interesting in these speakers. But I wonder how they treat poor productions? Do they kill everything that is not at least good produced?

Have you listen to any classical music? Some speakers makes violins just sound like strings without any body.

Do they sound as Darko Audio says about Soul 6: ”the Zu Soul 6 for me are closer to a scaled down version of a PA-system than any other speaker than I’ve had…”? I don’t want chamber music in a church or a jazz trio in a small club to sound like they are playing through a PA-system. 

While you can certainly tell between poorly recorded and well recorded music, this speaker doesn’t punish bad recording the way some hifi speakers I’ve listened to do. Poorly recorded music can still be very enjoyable through these speakers. 
 

I’m probably not the best person to attest to this speakers reproduction of stringed instruments—at least those that aren’t guitar banjo or bass and the like. I don’t listen to much classical music.  I flipped some on for giggles and it sounds good to my ears but again I’d take that with a huge grain of salt. 
 

I do listen to a ton of jazz. I honestly think this is one of this speakers strongest genres. If they sound like PA speakers I wanna live at the club that has them.  I think they do a great job of recreating intimate jazz recordings. I see a lot of live music, at least I did pre Covid. And also have owned PA speakers in the past for band applications.  
 

The DW6 uses different drivers and a different cabinet than the soul 6. Steve Guttenberg seemed to favor the DW6 over the Soul. I’ve never heard the soul so I don’t know how they wound different. Just highlighting they have some very stark differences in design and seemed to sound different to Steve.
