Zu Soul Superfly

I just ordered a pair of the new Zu speakers on a whim. I was going to wait for information, but the fact that they threw in the free superfly upgrades to the first 30 people got me.

From a similar thread it sounds like some of you guys have heard the speaker despite information only being released today. I'm wondering what you can share about it?

Also, I am really hoping it works with a Firstwatt F1 amplifier. Can anyone comment as to that? I know the Druid's and Essences worked OK.

I've forgotten if anyone had mentioned seeing the superfly in something other than the Cosmic Carbon? Any insight into the upcharge for that?

Just spoke with Gerrit, who indicated that Cosmic Latte was a $100 upcharge. There is a picture of the Tone in that color on the website. He didn't mention other colors or charges, and I didn't ask (Cosmic Carbon is fine with me).

I would love to hear other's comments on any of the new Zu' and partnering amps. I was going with Quad amps but have decided on Manley 300B SE/PP monoblocks instead.

Soul Superflys with about 150 hrs on them, hooked to the 16 ohm taps of an Audio Space Ref 3.1 300B. Mission cables all around. I think there's real synergy there.

The speakers are about 2.5' from the back and side walls, 7' apart, and slightly toed-in toward the listening chair.

I don't really have the technical chops to give you a detailed review. I can say that I've been floored by a number of recordings from various genres; heard things I've never heard before, and yet find it easier than ever to get lost in the music. They make the music big.
