Zu Dirty Weekend 6 went on sale today

We have our speakers in the same place! Mine is about 8" from the back wall and about 26"-28" from the side wall. They seem to be very happy there!

Yep, the more I listen to them the more I am really really loving them. As far as I’m concerned, those polks can come down. :)

I think you’re right about the break in. I feel like they’re already kicking off more low end the more I play them.

Zu was really cool. They took me through the facility. Like I mentioned I almost ran over Sean as I was backing in, lol. We chatted for awhile. Really awesome small-family place. Everyone that worked there loved what they were doing. So friendly and awesome to talk with. They had me inspect my speakers before and boxed them in-front of me. I saw their break-in room. They don’t break in completed speakers, they break in drivers only. So once those are broken in they assemble and package. This is possibly why as a complete assembled unit they could use a few hundred hours to really settle in.

They also surprised me and had some left over rustic hickory as I mentioned. They don’t build the cabs onsite as some other facility locally does that. To my understanding they finish and assemble.

Here’s a couple pics of the finish. It’s flawless and possibly the best finishing work Zu has ever done.

Been listening all day. Threw on Synchronicity and man...I feel like the bass is starting to extend deeper.

So yea, I think break-in really is a thing....and this is only the first day!

25 x 18 is a pretty large space. I’m not surprised you are slightly underwhelmed with the bass extension. Makes perfect sense to me.

Everybody talks about how Zu speakers  sounds "live" and "being there" . Guess I'm stupid,  but sounds live how?  As being at a rock concert where they are using PA-speakers,  or a acoustic gitarr and song without amplification in a church,  or like listning to a jazzband in a small club or a symphonic orchestra in a concert hall...?
Please enlighten me.

What @ozzy62 said. Your vaulted ceiling and large room makes it a tougher space for the low frequencies to fill. Your listening area volume is waaaay more than mine. 
 

Here’s a quick shot. These speakers have plenty of low end in my small space.  You’re a good candidate for a sub.  I’d love to add a Zu sub eventually just for silly bass but I don’t need one. I’ve considered getting a sealed SVS as well.
