Anyone heard new Zu Union 6?


The new Zu union 6 has been out a month or so now. Anyone heard a pair yet?

@kray  beautiful setup! I probably wouldn't have struggled so much if I'd gone for the dirty weekends, but it's been so worth it.@whoopycat that's the way it goes sometimes.Your comparisons are very informative.

I am right now in a free trial of the dirty weekend 6s. I have mixed feelings. Nice deep bass response. I like the mid-range performance considering it somewhat lush. But the treble clarity and presence is not quite there for me. Resolution, too. I am considering an exchange for the union 6s. For example, I am missing the sense of spaciousness listening to wish you were here on vinyl that I got with my old ADS 1230s.  The higher notes seem suppressed in the mix. I can see the most people here with experience with the dirty weekends have had the older models but any thoughts would be appreciated.

I listen to a variety of music but most often listen to indie rock and pop with a good deal of classical music mixed in. Particularly, violin. Some straight ahead rock and roll and the tinge of classic rock like Pink Floyd and the Eagles. Some electronic. I listen most often from mid 60 DB's to 70s with 80ish DB peaks. 

I have to say that I was both surprised and disappointed.  I heard them at the Florida Audio Expo last weekend in the Black Ice room.  It may be that they were being played too loud for the room but what I heard had a lot of muddy bass and was quite harsh.

@snapsc i was there too. It’s so hard to judge speakers at those shows. But I would say that’s isn’t a good representation of them.

also they are extremely transparent to your gear. I’ve never heard a speaker so revealing of that you put in front of it. Change anything and you can hear it. And they pair better with certain gear over others as well.

what was your favorite room? Mine was the simple Orchard GaN amp with Soundfield standmount speakers.
