Zu Soul Superfly
Hi folks.Ever since I heard the Druids I Googled loads of images and really struggled with the piano black and silver trim. It was obviously just me but I found it looked a little old fashioned. Nothing wrong with that in many ways but it just did...

David,Interesting post as is your other post on the subject. I actually think it just is what it is and if there is a demand then other threads will thrive.However... cracking photos. Convinced me I was right to not go for cosmic carbon but lovely...

Mrs. Gopher needs to post those pictures and we need to hunt down and stalk all the other owners.Mike 
Sound of Zu Soul Superfly vs Zu Druid Speakers
Look at the Superfly thread. There's more than enough detail there.Mike

Ha,I can assure you little will reduce my hard on right now :) Mind you, you people across the pond do seem prone to premature ejaculation. If I'd had a speaker two weeks I'd be letting it bed in and seeing how things warm up rather than thinking ...

So the questions are surely:Would you feel the sane if you'd paid $2,600?How big is your room?How is it furnished?What do you think is missing from the top end and what would we have to pay to get that?Sorry, for all these questions but I'm an imp...

Nah, surely the anticipation is always the best bit until they really settle down! Or was it Tom Petty who said that the waiting is the hardest part.Must admit you've reminded me that longer term I may experiment with taking the Naim power supplie...

Yes, I must say that I can recall a bunch if cynical men of varying (but not that varying) ages listening to Hugh Masakela on the Presence. At the end there was just a silence and someone quietly commented that that was as good as they'd heard any...

Phil,Thanks very much for that. Having heard every Zu floorstander I entirely agree with your descriptions and am very much looking forward to my Superfly. I heard enough of Druids to have bought them were it not for the Fun Prevention Officer dem...

Phil, or indeed others who may be able to comment. One of the things I haven't seen here is how people might define the Superfly in relation to the Presence. Anyone care to comment?Mike

Audiofeil,Surely the whole point of audio forums like this is to assist in refining the use of subjective language. If you don't have subjective language then you're left with what? Measurements? It hardly needs saying that we don't measure audio ...

Thanks Gopher,I'm always amazed how many people post about new kit and are critical of it, only to mention in passing that they're running something else in too. Nice to see some caution followed by detailed description. Once I have my Superfly I'...

Thanks Phil and Gopher. Most useful.Phil - yes that sorts it for me. In retrospect what I loved most about the Druids was that realness. The dark sound as you put it was something new to me but I grew to love it because it never got in the way of ...

Zanon,I've been here for the whole thread and, to repeat, I and others have seen nothing contradictory in Phils posts. Occasional clarifications have been required and have been generously forthcoming and a model of clarity. Your concern about bei... 
Zu Soul Superfly
Zanon,Gotta agree with Phil here. There appears to be some misunderstanding as his posts have been crystal clear in terms of their language and helpful in clarifying the sound of the Superfly.Mike
