| Zu introduces Soul 6 Zu speakers don't need high power but they can benefit from it on some music if the amp doesn't give up too much qualitatively to deliver power. I usually listen to 10-18w single-ended pentode and push-pull triode or pentode amplification on both ... | |
| Zu introduces Soul 6 Soul Supreme compacts Druid 5. Soul 6 compacts the sound of Druid 6. with the newer concentric driver. Druid 5 was a relaxed, easygoing, amp-tolerant speaker, more open and elastic than Druid 4. Druid 6 is strikingly more vivid, energetic, reveali... | |
| New ZU Omen DEF Supreme Direct sale. This model could have been previously arrived at by buying Omen Def and iterating through upgrades. Now it's a discrete, pinnacle model in the Omen range. It is very close to the performance of Zu Definition 4 w/o its powered sub-bass... | |
| Zu introduces Soul 6 Incomprehensible. Always a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma. OK, Churchill said that, but it applies here.Phil | |
| Zu introduces Soul 6 The design is sound, and highly considered. Like anything, it just has to be used correctly. If it is, then what people like comes into play. -Phil | |
| Zu introduces Soul 6 Just an intermediate note here, prompted by Steve Guttenberg's evaluation on Youtube. There are some descriptive inaccuracies and setup errors, and one inadvertent error by Zu at the outset.First, he has difficulty explaining the Soul 6 design. He... | |
| Zu introduces Soul 6 Most systems have too much total gain, and this is independent of amplifier power. If you have separate preamp and power amp, the input sensitivity of the power amp and the output voltage of the preamp have to be considered to get useful range out... | |
| Looking for new speakers for large audio room There will be a new Zu Definition 6 in Q1, with 1st production late in this year. It will easily fill your room (I've heard the older Definition 4 fill larger rooms), and with 101/db/w/m efficiency won't need a large amp to do it. The speaker inco... | |
| Need speaker suggestions for my evolving system! To the OP:If you loved Zu ODWs, order a pair of Omen Mk II in the finish your wife will accept. There is a lead time for Omen orders to be fulfilled, but Zu will take orders because it's not a mass build. The ODW getting built in burst mode at sca... | |
| Zu introduces Soul 6 I have a pair of Soul 6 arriving on Wednesday. I have Druid 6 and Definition 4 to compare it to. I'll post comments in a week or so.Phil | |
| Rogers LS3/5A Need Help Hi Mark,I've had multiple pairs of LS3/5a and in fact for a period 45-35 years ago I ran a "Double LS3/5a" system (ala the 1970s Double Advent System) wired in series for 30 ohms, driven by a pair of Julius Futterman OTL monoblock amps. And I've h... | |
| Opinions Please - New Prodduction Sophia EL34ST Coke Bottle I have direct experience with almost all the current production EL34 tubes. Some are more than OK; many are highly disappointing, but maybe that's because I'm old enough to have been buying new Siemens, Telefunken, Mullard EL34s in the late 1960s ... | |
| Tannoy Definition Subwoofer For a speaker as quick in transients and dynamics, I suggest one of the Zu subwoofers over the, the Undertone being closest in price to Upscale's blowout price. Zu's subwoofers are the only subs I've heard (including the Tannoy) quick enough to se... | |
| MQA Stream into non MQA DAC Tidal HiFi MQA files can be played on any DAC. If you are playing Tidal HiFi from Roon or from Tidal's own app, the first unfold is performed in software by either application and the destination DAC will playback according to its bit and rate cap... | |
| Zu introduces Soul 6 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 e... |
