I'll be interested in hearing about the new and improved speakers, when people actually receive theirs and can describe what they are hearing.
Zu Dirty Weekend 6 went on sale today
The good folks at Zu certainly know a thing or two about creating hype around new products. The Dirty Weekend 6 went on sale this morning. It was positioned as a first come first served release with a November delivery. I bought a pair with the "supreme" upgrade. A little risky buying without hearing them first, but I figure I can probably unload them if they're not to my liking, since they'll probably sell out. Any thoughts on these or Zu in general for that matter ..

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. |
@bourbonkernel @moofoo: I'll definitely post my impressions in this forum as soon as I receive the speakers and give them some break-in time. Jim at Zu Audio said although the speakers had 300 hours of break-in time, the silver internal wire will probably need some additional time. BTW moofoo, your (posted here) above is not working. I did look at your systems, which system are you thinking about using the Union 6 Supreme in? |
@fendersrule, Good point :-) |
I received my Union 6 Supreme speakers yesterday and set them up for an audition next to my Omen MK II speakers today. Let me start by saying I’m very happy with my Omen speakers but curiosity got the better of me and regardless of how hard I tried to fight the urge I eventually gave in and made the purchase. Directly out of the box the Union 6 Supreme sounds superb to my ears. I hear greater extension, more detail, and a crisper sound. The instruments and voices sound more as if they are in the room with a wider and deeper soundstage and in addition to that it sounds as if I have moved from row 12 to row 6 closer to the stage. I had such strong deep bass that I had to double-check and make sure that my pair of REL T7i subwoofers were not connected. Very impressive bass ;-) Equipment used: Allnic T-1500 Integrated 300B (12.5 watts class A) Audio Research Reference CD7 Power cords, interconnect, and speaker cables are all Grand Lavricables 5N silver. Music used: Hugh Masekela Hope cd and The Wonderful World of Three Blind Mice 24K Gold cd which has a great diversity of jazz tracks, Motown 50 Fanthology cd.
