Zu Dirty Weekend 6 went on sale today

The lesson I learned from that most recent round of new speaker curiosity (Really simply curiosity, as my speakers at the time were working swimmingly) was to absolutely listen to speakers before buying. No amount of hyperbole will match your specific tastes. Previous to the ZU issues I convinced myself that a pair of Sonist Audio speakers might be more efficient and sound better than my Silverline Preludes. Nope. The Preludes were far better in every way...off went the Sonists. Damn. The ZU thing was around the time of the Heresy IV experiment, and man...I was tiring of sending speakers back. This year I improved my rig with a Pass XA-25 and various speaker and signal cables, all with excellent results...until my next bout with unconstrained curiosity...

Ditto on audition if you can. Zu has a generous return policy since they know you can’t just go down to you local hifi store (if you have one) and demo. 
 

And yeah unfortunately the CXA61 lacks a phono preamp. I have a couple but will likely fire up my Schiit!  I don’t spin a ton of vinyl but certainly enjoy it as a source. So far very casually think this Cambridge sounds better with these speakers than the Arcam SA20. 
 

I don’t think it sounds as good as my Benchmark Dac3/Rogue Audio Stereo 100 combo but again not a fair fight. I’ll also get around to some blind sound level matched testing at some point to see if I can put my money where my mouth is. 
 

Happy Listening. 

I'm definitely getting older and must be losing my mind. I posted on this forum earlier and evidently, I posted an incorrect Zu speaker that I own. In 2019 I purchased the Omen MK II.

For the record, I'm blaming those of you that had posted such positive comments about the new Zu speakers ;-) (and I really like my Omen Mk II). I just ordered a pair of the Union 6 Supreme in clear hickory with silver rings, they are supposed to ship today. It will be interesting to compare them to my Union Mk II speakers.

Congrats!  Super interested. I was on the fence about springing for the union.  I am loving my DW6 Superfly. Def let us know what you think. 

@lak 

please do post a follow up on the Union 6 Supreme. I am interested in them, thinking they would be a good match with my room and electronics (posted here) Thank you in advance for your time!
