Zu Dirty Weekend 6 went on sale today

I think better but a little less forgiving. I’m learning that speakers all have trade offs. I think these are making some mad smart ones for the price. 
 

I’m just being totally honest and this is an early review but my brain is a little confused by the addition of resolution WITH forgiveness from the last few speakers I’ve had through my space. 

Awesome. Yeah, I’m curious to how well my Denon PMA800NE will play with it.

I’ll know soon enough!

Also, cheers!

Hell yeah!  Congrats!  These are fun speakers than wanna be turned up and party. That integrated should make some pretty music. These drivers are well known to do well with all kinds of equipment.  Very interested to hear what you think of the pairing.

Did a rough mockup of a Zu speaker and I’m trying to figure out how the front left placement is going to work out. This picture is showing the speaker about 1’ from the left wall, and about a 5" from the front wall. But something seems wrong about the record cabinet being that close to it. Will that matter? Curious on your thoughts on how the Zu would perform in that scenario.

I’m thinking if I should pull the record cabinet about 6-8’ leftward (basically "toward" the camera so that nothing is around the speaker at all. That will require me to get a 35’ RCA cable (I hide all my AV equipment behind the TV).

Just trying to do some pre-setup so I can get started to listening to them right away this Friday!

I have found these to be less fussy about placement than the bottom loading design of the DW/Omen.  I have my left speaker a similar distance from both back and side wall and it sounds great.  I don’t have anything impeding it against wall until several more feet, but who knows…

It may very well sound great in that corner. I’ve found most speaker placement to be a bunch of trial and error. And small movements can make a decent different. 
 

I think tilting the speaker back a few degrees might help the stereo image fill the room better so this is an additional trick you can play with the included threaded feet and locking nut. 
 

I do think my Superflys are sounding a touch smoother after several days of constant play. Whether that’s my brain or the speakers I know not…..but many believe these speakers to have long break in times.
