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'm sitting where Irish is sitting, except the speakers are the Omens and the amp is a DIY 2A3 SET. Speakers are not due to ship until end January, so it's fun to read these posts in the meantime, even if they're about a different Zu speaker.
My current speakers are Tekton Katz Meow and sound fantastic. The Zu's will either push the Tektons to a 2nd system, find a place in that 2nd system, or be sent back. We'll see.

"Incidentally, to save me reading 11 pages of this (which I have done previously thanks) how do you get the gap to just above the width of a cd?"

You do mean the width of a standard CD case, right?

If the SF is like the Omen, the manual says as long as you can slide a standard CD case between the speaker and the floor you're fine.
If you're using the carpet spikes I believe the gap will be greater than 1 case, but the way I interpret the instructions that is OK. If you use the bare floor studs and not the carpet spikes you can get the gap lower than 1 CD case (on bare floor) up to more than 2 cases.

FWIW - I found that gap to be a pretty big adjustment knob. I have my Omens on boards with the carpet spikes.
