Zu introduces Soul 6


https://www.zuaudio.com/loudspeakers/soul-21

Major changes:
1. $5999 starting price
2. Okoume standard finish instead of hickory
3. Bigger cabinet - up from 31.5" to 36"
4. 120 days to audition in home!

Zu claims Druid 6-type performance, deeper bass than mk.II, more amp friendly, horn-like impulse response.
I am intrigued.  Soul Supreme is a nice value at $4500 so Zu must really feel this a step up in performance to price it above that.

I wonder what the fate of the Soul Supreme will be. As in will they keep developing it or will the Soul line be rationalized to the Soul 6 alone. I had the Superflies and currently have the Supremes. 
The Soul 6 is more expensive than the Soul Supreme so it will be interesting how it sorts itself out. Zu prices lately have been going up and not slightly. Makes me wander if these increased prices to make up for so many Dirt Weekend Omens sold.
I like Zu Audio speakers a lot, but have not heard these. A bit skeptical of the specs without the tweeter, but I only have very limited exposure, Omen Def and Soul Supreme.  I'd also be interested in hearing reviews.
It has a supertweeter. The supertweeter is concentric in Soul 6, like in Cube. The largest advance is due to the completely redesigned cabinet. Okoume is both lighter and stiffer than the materials used in all prior Soul speakers. This allows an extensive revision to the internal bracing scheme, and a more complete implementation of the Griewe room acoustic impedance matching, for the Soul cabinet configuration. Okoume is also a primary driver on the cost difference over current Soul Supreme, including both the material and the increased labor to work it. Resonance control & energy management. in the entire system is better than Soul Supreme. I expect to like it.
