| Zu Omen Mk.1b upgrade question I upgraded Soul super fly's and highly recommend the upgrade. Transparency and imaging are significantly improved. Definably worth the cost. Hope this helps. | |
| Feedback on Zu Audio Soul Supreme? I 've owned a pair for approximately a year. They are fabulous speakers. I upgraded from the Soul Superfly which was pretty significant upgrade. I'm using an Atma-sphere S30 amp 30 watts/ch OTL which drives them easily.They have great transparency... | |
