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.

Superfly price is as it was. Zu has a code problem on the web site that they, for whatever reason, haven't been able to fix.

The new speaker should be startling for the $1000 entry price, but it doesn't undermine Soul or Soul Superfly. They'll continue to be worth their price differential over the new entry model. Sean and Adam have a long-standing objective to deliver a truly Zu-worthy affordable dorm speaker. It looks like they've hit enough breakthroughs in their supply chain to make it happen without giving up the Zu FRD. We get details next week.

Thanks for the insight, Phil. I always thought it kind of silly ( as you might have been able to tell from my posts ) that Zu would think it wise to raise the price on these like that.
Well, I'm excited to see what they end up releasing. I'm guessing probably a bookshelf speaker, given the price. I wonder if they'll be showing it at RMAF.
Should have pulled up their website before I replied.

It looks like the Zu Omen is $1500. This is according to their website as of today. Interesting....looks like a Druid/Superfly hybrid. :) If I can get them for $1000, I am in Zu land.
