Zu introduces Soul 6

@ 213cobra

"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.

Hate to press but......how do they sound?

Hate to press but......how do they sound? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Good luck. Love/hate thing All press relaeses, FANTASTIC. which tells me nothing What is true is the super duper high sens at 100 db. I can assure you w/o hearing the Zu line. that 100 db sens is going to be very forward on the midrange. Guess no Zu fan wants to talk about that evident fact. Personally I would never buy a speaker with a sens over 95db sens. Even with my low 10 watt SET amp.

I'm writing tomorrow. I did a detailed comparison with Druid 6 over the weekend, and listened to Soul 6 on ten different topology amps.

The high efficiency is unrelated to fears of forward midrange. That's a nutty idea. There are other factors in a speaker that can result in that but if a neutral 100db speaker sounds forward, you have problems upstream from the speaker.

Writing this up tomorrow.
