Zu Dirty Weekend 6 went on sale today


The good folks at Zu certainly know a thing or two about creating hype around new products. The Dirty Weekend 6 went on sale this morning. It was positioned as a first come first served release with a November delivery. I bought a pair with the "supreme" upgrade. A little risky buying without hearing them first, but I figure I can probably unload them if they're not to my liking, since they'll probably sell out. Any thoughts on these or Zu in general for that matter ..

Oh boom! Thanks for that. I didn't know they had that locking nut on the bottom. Yep, I'm definitely going to play around with angle to try to get them to sound as best they can from a seated and standing position.

Yea, I hear you on break in times. One question I was going to ask you if you notice them opening up more after 200 hours. I would think 200 hours is really minimal and I would expect them to smoothen up some more!

I basically moved the mock-ups more away from the corner (and more to the right edge of the window). I think they are probably going to sound better there. I also ordered a longer RCA cable so that I can move the turntables further away from the speakers. 

I think I've prepared enough at this point, just need to get them! I'll take pictures of my ogden trip and will update.

I’m probably realistically around 100hrs at this point so it’s why I’d def qualify my review as early. Most of my playback falls with peaks in low 80s so not high intensity. 
 

looking forward to see and hearing what you think. And the others in this thread. I’ll post some pictures when I get around to hosting them somewhere. I didn’t realize you can’t just upload one directly to the thread. 

Wow! So 200 (zu break in) + 100 hours of your own. Def keep keeping us updated of the improved performance. Zu does claim that 2-4 weeks it will continue to improve!

Sadly, you have to use an external host to post pictures. There’s tons of free one if you just search for it. Then just drop a link for us!

 

Received my DW6s yesterday. Supreme in Blue. Unfortunately I’m out of town on business. I will set them up this weekend and compare them to my Marten Oscars. 
 

Congrats @travisg!

 

I’m sure that finish looks awesome!  I’m pretty limited in my listening time this week due to work too.  Sounds like we’ll have a couple people here firing up the DW6 this weekend. 
 

What gear will you be running them with?  Here’s to hoping the hours fly by…
