Zu introduces Soul 6


https://www.zuaudio.com/loudspeakers/soul-21

Major changes:
1. $5999 starting price
2. Okoume standard finish instead of hickory
3. Bigger cabinet - up from 31.5" to 36"
4. 120 days to audition in home!

Zu claims Druid 6-type performance, deeper bass than mk.II, more amp friendly, horn-like impulse response.
I am intrigued.  Soul Supreme is a nice value at $4500 so Zu must really feel this a step up in performance to price it above that.

I know we try to be better site neighbor but why in the world this guy drag one speaker company down to promote another say never hear? On top of that talk about imaginary cabinet damage from speaker he talk bad about. I no post on this thread anymore Zu guys good people hope sell many speaker and prosper. 

1) Because we all know Wilsons are 100+ lbs speakers,, even shipping FEDEX may have damagne or nick.. Just saying. 

Insured? WEll Wilson wil say **look we are going to refund minus $500 fora  nick due to FEDEX ship,,YOu will have to file a  insurance with FEDEX...***

Just saying mght not, just might get damaged,, whereas U's are smaller and lighter = less risk of ship damage.

+ return Wilson $150++ each speaker vs Zu's less than $200 return ship,,, I'd go Zu, try them out, don;t like them , easy return policy.

Thats all I am saying. 

When you buya  Wilson, you are stuck with em. Zu's , easy return, only out $200 return fees.

Thats all I am trying to say...

I just bought another davidLouis pair from  HK, obviously if I don't like them I can't return. 

But I know fora  fact I will like them and will have a  DUAL FR speaker system.

Paid $379 for the DLVX6 pair, inclds ship and Louisiana Tax of $50,,arghhhhh

"I’m giving my pair of Soul 6 another week or 10 days to further settle in, then I will post complete comments, including some comparative notes relative to Soul Supreme, Druid 5, Druid 6 and Definition"

18 days and counting........

:)

Yeah. Busy. I am having a small crowd in on Saturday so I can include a summary of external perceptions.

The speakers are fairly well settled in, but still not fully burned. Zu has come to the conclusion that the Soul 6 is so transparent it is revealing consequences of insufficient burn-in of the wiring harness. Pretty close now, especially on single-ended amps.
