Agreed with @lak. Zu is basically stating they care and agree about environment concerns by building stuff that lasts that won’t end up in landfills and don’t need to fit themselves into any schema in order to promote this idea. Doesn’t seem agai...

Keep in mind that Zu’s break in times are of the drivers only. They don’t break in the speaker as a whole. Zu posted a blog post awhile ago basically stating that 1-4 weeks of additional break-in time are necessary for pretty much all speakers.

@bourbonkernel, new gear day for you soon! The CXA61 should sound pretty neutral. Really interesting though that it doesn’t have a pre-amp built in though as I considered that a pretty standard feature for an integrated. I don’t use built-in pre-a...

@bourbonkernel Free upgrade for you. Tilt your speakers a little bit...I set 3/8" coasters under the front of mine. You want to focus more on the 10" driver (ignore the tweeter). I sit back about 12-15’, and with that 3/8" lift the driver now hi...

Thanks @lak for the info regarding bass response improving. For now I just EQ'd it a slight bit and am listening very happily. I'll check the EQ setting again (will neutral it) in a month or two.

@simna  It's the famous flat speaker (think of most modern speakers) vs a "live" speaker (klipsch, zu, etc). To me, a flat speaker blends everything together, as if it's all on the same playing field. Level. Flat. And many think, boring. I would...

Awesome. Also to note I’ve been listening flat EQ the whole time. Kind of a purist. I jus added about 35% bass on Denon’s 2-band system my gawd. I mean…I might leave it and forgo a sub. Now to go through all my test records and listen again  I ...

@simna It’s like $299 or whatever for the hickory. It used to come standard but now Zu is charging for it. Perhaps there some more sanding involved in the finish between coats vs the black. @bourbonkernel Yea, the damn record collection keeps gro...

Been listening all day. Threw on Synchronicity and man...I feel like the bass is starting to extend deeper. So yea, I think break-in really is a thing....and this is only the first day!

We have our speakers in the same place! Mine is about 8" from the back wall and about 26"-28" from the side wall. They seem to be very happy there! Yep, the more I listen to them the more I am really really loving them. As far as I’m concerned, t...

@snapsc Zus are fantastic at imaging and sounding bigger than they are. @bourbonkernel Played some more with them today. The Zu house sound is all there. The dynamic sound is there. That live attack is there. There ability to be spatial is th...

Just made it home. Almost ran over Sean at ZU while I was backing up to the door.    killer group of guys. I had a blast.  Got them pretty well setup in my room. More towards the wall is better IMO. But not in corners. They really don’t mind at ...

Zu was kind enough via an email to state the differences between Zu Omen Mk II vs DW6. "The overall sound with the Superfly edition compared to your friends Omen Mk.II will be similar.  You will have a bit more extension and fuller bottom end wit...

Wow! So 200 (zu break in) + 100 hours of your own. Def keep keeping us updated of the improved performance. Zu does claim that 2-4 weeks it will continue to improve! Sadly, you have to use an external host to post pictures. There’s tons of free o...

Oh boom! Thanks for that. I didn't know they had that locking nut on the bottom. Yep, I'm definitely going to play around with angle to try to get them to sound as best they can from a seated and standing position. Yea, I hear you on break in tim...
