| Zu Soul Superfly Roscoeiii,There is no crossover in a any Zu speaker. In Soul, the amp connects directly to the full-range-driver, and the supertweeter is wired on a simple high-pass filter. The amp doesn't "see" a crossover at all. No dividing network before the ... | |
| Zu Soul Superfly >>I am curious about the differences between Superfly and Definition speakers.<<Having both Definition 2.0 and Druid 4-08 in two different systems, and having heard Soul Superfly at length, along with Essence and Presence, I can give y... | |
| Zu Soul Superfly I don't need much time to judge a new speaker, or anything else for that matter. But I've had several hours with Soul on 845 monoblocks, and more coming up. Nothing I heard in the so-far last hour contradicted anything I heard in the first ten min... | |
| McIntosh MA7000 or MC252? MA7000. It would be even better if it had the quad-differential topology but it's quite good and has a better amp section than the 252. If you go with the separates proposed, the amp will be the limiting factor. The preamp section is quite good --... | |
| Zu Soul Superfly Naggots,If you have Druid 4-08 with Mundorf silver oil in the network, you're quite close to Soul Superfly, and of course stereo Mini-Methods will outperform Superfly on bass - albeit at expense of space and complication.The FRD in Soul has wider ... | |
| Zu Soul Superfly Gopher - A friend of mine got the first pair of Soul Superfly on an advance special order for a custom finish. Zu's first regular production Superfly speakers should begin shipping in the next week or ten days, so perhaps there will be some Audiog... | |
| Zu Soul Superfly I auditioned Abbys (with and without the supertweeter) before I bought Druids back in 2005, and have heard them occasionally since. In fact, at the time it was my intent to buy Abbys for one of my systems, until I got in front of a pair of Druids.... | |
| Opinions please on a starter audiophile system? I'm pretty sure this will fit in $4K:Zu Soul loudspeakers - $1800/pr. Call up Zu and beg to be grandfathered in on the promotion that gets you the Superfly Edition for the regular price. But if they just can't, you'll be good to go with the regula... | |
| Zu Soul Superfly >>Do you plan to replace your Druids?<<Yes. Although I may keep them for another use, for sentimental reasons.Phil | |
| Zu Soul Superfly Mike,My Druids are Frankendruids, in some respects. I bought them used over five years ago, so they are one of the earlier cabinets in gloss red. First generation; and they had been upgraded to "Mk 2.5" status then. But they have the early B3 wiri... | |
| Preamp for Quad 303 with Ls3/5a or Rega Elicit? >>Most American preamps have input sensitivity in the 1.5v - 2.5v range.<<This was meant to read, Most American power amps have input sensitivity in the 1.5v - 2.5v range. The "preamp" reference was a typo, brain glitch, error.Phil | |
| Preamp for Quad 303 with Ls3/5a or Rega Elicit? You generally have to stick with British preamps, and Quad is of course a perfect match to Quad. The issue is that Quad amps were desisgned with input sensitivity of 0.5v to drive to full power. Most American preamps have input sensitivity in the ... | |
| Zu Soul Superfly >>I am just curious why did they already abandon the Ribbon Tweet from the essence after one new speaker with it and go back?<<They didn't abandon the ribbon. You can still order Essence, and when that speaker is revised it will have a... | |
| Zu Soul Superfly >> Phil, You caught my attention with your excellent description of the smallish but potentially significant differences between Druid and Essence which articulated my views on them better than I ever could. I would be happy to buy Essence b... | |
| Zu Druids upgraded Vs Essence >> if I get PushPull frankly I might as well stick with solid state. The magic I hear is in SET<<There's plenty of magic in a well-executed push-pull tube amp that is elusive in p-p solid state. The two devices are dynamically quite di... |
