Zu Soul Superfly
I must admit I have become a little disappointed with this thread. As has been observed on another forum (Google it) this thread has become a little bit of a p•••••g contest. There is from an outsiders perspective the irony that there is a debate ...

HiFin,I've heard Defs, Presence, Essence and Druids. Avonessence also had Druids and Essence with Naim.FWIW. I think you're in for a treat. Naim gear works incredibly well with Zu and those who think the world begins and ends with tubes would do w...

CT,Any chance you could make your two cents a dollar or more and give us some more detail? I appreciate you're not into the techy side and feel that's often a positive. Why should you hsve to be? However, when you're cranking them up what are you ...

Me too but I'm inclined to hear a demo before drawing ant conclusions on that. There will always be flaws but individuals have to weigh up whether they outgun the plussea for themselves. There may have been a nicer way of asking though :)MikePhil,...

Gopher,Thanks for that. Viewed on an iphone first of all and they looked poor quality. Just got home and, hey, they look rather good. Looking at those I must say they look rather dinky rather than awkward as they do in the Zu images thusfar. They ...

Thanks Gopher. Keep us all posted. I'm especially interested in how the mid band develops as that, for me, was the great strength of the Druids. The sense of air being physically moved when a sax or a trumpet was blown; that sense you were hearing... 
Zu Soul Superfly
Yay, finally a second opinion :)Look forward to regular updates Gopher.Mike

Can we just clarify the maths as those figures don't tally with quotes I've had from Zu in the past for bringing into the UK. The costs quoted on their site don't appear to equate with that either. If I'm wrong then cosmic carbon it is :)Mike

I suspect my patience and resolve are amongst my mist annoying personality traits :) - even for me. This is killing me. If these speakers do what the Druid and Presence do then they're clearly a keeper. Phils posts have been enormously informative...

Some of us have to factor in the WAF regardless of our own views on the subject. Left to my own devices it'd be Ferrari Red but there are other considerations. I've owned one pair of speakers for 20 years and my intent is that this next pair will ...

Phil, No concerns on the quality of the finish. Zu finishes are amongst the very best I hsve ever seen. It's more that it's hard to visualise on a smaller floorstander than we're used to from them.For instance, I found the piano black very old fas...

To be frank the only thing holding me back from a punt on the 60 day return right now is that there just aren't enough images of the Soul/Superfly to get an idea of finishes. I'm sure that will change soon. Least I hope it will.Mike

Phil, You make a compelling case for the Soul Superfly. May I ask how many hours listening time you had with them when you formed your judgement?Mike

If you want a detailed explanation of the price hike have a read of the 6moons article. It's a sobering read.Mike 
Toddler-Friendly Budget Speakers?
And I can only reinforce the above posts. Buy your speakers for what they produce not what they prevent. A change of tone did the trick when my son started to crawl followed by physical removal.The only thing I would say that I don't agree with "o...
