Zu Soul Superfly

is there an amp i can find here in the $500-$800 range that can power my Soul's? i agree that my cambridge 540 and HK 3490 are lacking in the lower midrange/bass arena.

Here is some insight from someone who knows very little about "audiophile" talk, doesnt care for graphs and isnt even sure what a push pull amps even is.

I bought the SuperFlys on whim only b/c of their intro special discount. (thanks ZU) I love playing rock and roll loud, the speakers look great, and I've been cranking them all week long in my apartment. In my case Zu did an excellent job of marketing to a new consumer base, im 27 and bought these speakers over a new TV and im glad i did because "Since I've Been Loving You" sounds soooo sweet cranked up. I hope Zu keeps up their marketing efforts to hit younger individuals who dont really know to much or care about specs, but that do LOVE the sweet Zu sound of their favorite band cranked up.

Thanks my 2cents,

Thanks Everyone.

I have B&W 683 system in my HT room, love the sounds for movies, TV and music. Seriously no complains, 683's rock, to me they sound exactly what a serious speaker in its price range should sound like. 2.1 music sounds great, however After a year with them i think i was left a little uninspired. I had never heard a Zu speaker before, but I really wanted something made me feel like I was at a show (I love live music) figured with 60 day trial why not.

The sound differences between the 683's and the Souls are completely different. Not sure what the real buzz words are, but they just have a personality to them, where as the 683's sound exactly how I imagine a HT speaker to sound the Soul's really excel in voice and guitars. Keep in mind they arent fully broken in, but i would say they sound forward and tight. Guitar solos sound so much better its kinda scary. Jeff Buckley's voice on Lover You Should have come over makes me feel as if hes playing a few feet away. Been listening to RHCP, Pearl Jam, Jeff Buckley, Jimmy Eat World, Guess Who, CSNY. I think im going to have to look into a good DAC or different amp b/c im really loving the sound of older music on the Souls (sounds warmer), the newer music sounds a bit bright/digital/harsh. Keep in mind Im using a HK3490 receiver, with Trends USB dac running Apple Lossless. So a very low cost set up considering must people here are rocking $1k + amps. I just cant afford that right now.

Placement sucks, they are just in my loft, probably 5 feet apart with one wall against the right speaker. anyways, i can get one chair in the sweetspot and thats my happy place. I move into a house next month so ill get a chance to really set them up right and let them breath.

Ill take pics this weekend and submit them. THX!

ha, thats pretty funny, i figured people would laugh at me for using a $400 receiver with $2800 speakers.

Really want a peachtree nova, If anyone wants to send me one, please send me a note, ill even trade the 3490 ;-)

Great, thank you, I noticed the Zu blog thought they were the best value as well. ill check them out.
