Zu Dirty Weekend 6 went on sale today

@fendersrule 

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.

They look very nice. How much for that finish? 

Also @fendersrule thats a very solid record collection. Mad props. 

@simna It’s like $299 or whatever for the hickory. It used to come standard but now Zu is charging for it. Perhaps there some more sanding involved in the finish between coats vs the black.

@bourbonkernel Yea, the damn record collection keeps growing. I’ll need to build another shelf soon. I’ve already had to store many records in other rooms (not pictured).

Yeah, my space is a tough space for low frequencies. As mentioned, I was cheating with my polks by having them up in the corners (as pictured). This created kind of a "boombox" bass sound that wasn’t necessarily bad. Now that "boombox" sound is away and I’m left with perceptively "different" bass. Cleaner, more refined bass, but perceptually I suppose I was expecting a bit more.

Yea, I may have to do the sub thing. I built a sub for my home theater room...could probably build another. They are honestly the most easiest and forgiving speaker to build.

Either way, this is a keeper purchase! Really happy with them. So much more depth and "analogue-ish" sound that comes out of them. 

It’s now making me wonder if my PMA-800NE is the best solid state amp to use. Denon makes a PMA 1700/1800 model that has MOSFET stuff in it that probably will sound better. But that's for the future. 

@fendersrule Hell yeah!  Do it yourself subs are awesome and affordable.  I’m not familiar with the Denon sound signature. However, if I don’t like my Cambridge Audio CXA61, I may just give your Integrated a shot.   I’m looking for something solid state that’s affordable and fun for non critical listening.  Tubes certainly aren’t getting any cheaper these days and I’m not someone with a stockpile laying around.  I’m also thinking about spending way more than I should on a bunch of well known solid state amps (Pass, First Watt, McIntosh, Benchmark, Simaudio, and LTA).  Yeah LTA isn’t solid state but they’re said to have redic tube life being driven at 1/3 or so operating spec max. And I’m super curious about the output transformer-less sound that seems to be pretty universally well reviewed. I’m gonna check out some reviews of PMA series because I enjoy obsessively reading audio reviews. 
 

I’m also going to do a DIY tube amp kit once work settles down a bit. I’ve really been lusting after an Analog Ethos kit that looks simple enough to tackle in a weekend or two.  And should be a great match for the DW6. 
 

I agree the finish looks awesome in general and in your space. Supposed to be another area that they have improved.
