Zu Omen Dirty Weekend Setup tips


So the Zu Omen DW are available again and I plunked down my deposit.
Any tips to help make them shine? (When they finally get here, that is.)
This is my first new speaker in a few decades so I'm not sure what to expect besides different. I'm trying to broaden my firsthand experience instead of solely relying on what I can read. A journey that is long overdue. My ears may not be the best, but they are the only ones actually attached to my head.

I've had mind for a while. They aren't that fussy about placement, but I needed the back of the cabinets about 1 1/2 feet from the wall (my wall is made out of concrete) to get optimal bass without muddying the midrange.

Despite the heavy run-in received in the factory, they will still need 50-100 hours before their character stopped changing.

Once you get them right, just enjoy ! I don't find them lacking in bass in the least. In fact, it may boom in smaller rooms.

Your last tweak is either trying the snubbing resistors, or a capacitor upgrade for the high pass to the tweeter (you can also ask for them to be upgraded in the factory, or buy their upgrade kit which can be user installed).
