Anyone heard new Zu Union 6?

Mine are the standard version with Mission wire and ClarityCaps.  I have them tight in the corners, maybe about 4 inches off the wall.  Your walnut Unions look great, I wish I had gone that route.

yeah I decided to go full upgrade instead of wishing I would have later. 

So after a full 5 weeks of constant usage, I can say the Zu Union 6 Supreme is happily staying put in my house. They've broken in very nicely, and from what I read, they will settle in even more over next month or so. The strident is gone, the top end is open and airy, the low end is satisfying enough (although since I already have dual REL T5i's in stereo I leave them hooked up with just slightly adding to the very bottom.

As mentioned before, I had a lot of changes going on during the process, which made it hard to dial it in from a constant setup perspective. I think the best change was adding a Sonnet Morpheus DAC and Denafrips Hermes DDC. My chain looks like this:

Innuos Zen MK3 -> Denafrips Hermes (USB) -> i2S to Morpheus -> RCA out to amp(s) (Valvet E3, and Oliver Sayes 421a tube amp)

I added two new PC's from Audio Art during the process.

My biggest insight is the Zu's are the most revealing speaker I've owned. Every change I made you could hear it, whether a cable, the DDC, etc.. good or bad, the Zu's let you know... So dialing in has been the key as well. 

Compared to my previous statements, I no longer feel the Zu's are strident or closed in. They throw a huge soundstage, and this is the first time I've experienced front to back placement more extremely. Ex on Eagles live Hotel California track, you can easily tell when the drummer kicks in he's behind the other performers. so you get a 3D soundstage on top of the left to right. 

When compared to my Omegas. The Omegas still have a super sweet midrange, at the expense of being more forgiving. To me that means losing a little size of the music, and a little detail. They are actually more similar than different, but with the right gear the Zu's are on top. I'm actually thinking I'll sell my Omega's (Vintage 8 Dual High Output) and buy a used pair of CAMs (Compact Alnico Monitors) to have as a secondary pair. 

@whoopycat put some major hours on yours, and the roughness is all but gone on mine now.

I’ve been following this insightful thread. Currently taking a strong look at these speakers.

@whoopycat did you end up keeping these? Any thoughts after break-in?

@kray feel free to add any more observations. I’m sure I’m not the only following this informative thread. I’m prefer a huge soundstage that you mentioned, but wary that I may encounter listener fatigue after an extended listening session.

@toro3 I'm using a R2R NOS DAC, the sonnet morpheus, so I rarely if ever get listener fatigue. 

These Zu's are great at exposing your equipment. Change something and you can hear it pretty easy. And like most of this hobby, synergy is a major key. My amps are 12wpc Class A Valvet E3 (I upgraded from the E2) and two single ended flea watt tube amps. beautiful combos with the Zu's. Along the lines of exposing... you aren't going to get a bad recording to sound great, but great recordings are what makes me love this hobby. beautiful immersion into the music, very lifelike.
