Zu audio

@scott_w I think a fair amount of deliberation  and waffling is expected before a substantial purchase. Last thing I want is buyer’s remorse. I’m starting with some acoustic treatments first while I avoid commitment, and early next year I’ll most likely order a pair of Soul Supremes. The Omen Defs are still in the running, though, if I’m honest with my actual use profile, I think the Supremes are a better fit for me. 

Zu offers a generous 60 day home demo I believe. Generous as it's free shipping each way. Nice warranty too & customer service as good as can be. 

User Phil has amazing detailed Zu reviews btw. 

Which user Phil are you referring to ?

I paid shipping to get my Zu Union speakers but they paid the return shipping. They extended my return. Very fair practice just didn’t love them.

Who really cares about any hype?  It is the sound that matters.  If you heard them and like the sound, that is all that matters.  The Zu’s I’ve heard were all very dynamic sounding speakers, but the sound was too bright and brittle sound for my taste.  They can initially dazzle with such dynamics, but in the long run they can be tiring.  A local dealership in my area that takes other brands of gear in trade takes in a lot of Zu speakers in trade from such exhausted owners.
