| Zu Soul Superfly KeithR:Please! I am very happy with Druid HF extension because I do not like what I feel is exaggerated, unnatural HF extension which defines "hi fi" today. If Soul has HiFi extension it is not for me, although looking at super tweeter I would not... | |
| Zu Soul Superfly Biggest potential dissappointment with Zu Speakers is that it does not have HF extension, and so does not create hi-fi "air" "detail" "pin-point imaging" etc.Personally, I find all of that stuff totally fake and do not like it. But it is to hi-fi ... | |
| Audiophile speakers that rock well Agreed.With monitors you have to put them on stands, so just get a floorstander and enjoy the extension.I recommend Zu as well. | |
| Zu Soul Superfly Gopher:it depends on your room. mine us huge, and zu themselves say in large rooms you are better off with more watts!Still though, I think in general, people think Zu's do fine with 2W-3W amps and, unless you are playing them in closet, I simply ... | |
| Zu Soul Superfly Gophercongrats on your speakers! I second Phil's recommnendation on 20W-60W, tube if possible.I don't this Druids at any rate did their best with very low W amps. I also tried First Watt and did not keep for that reason. | |
| Zu Soul Superfly And I appreciate you looking into this, and Sean for clarifying! Sean is one of the good guys for sure. | |
| Zu Soul Superfly Avonessence: I have druids in standard matt black, which may be similar to cosmic graphite, and i think they look very nice.Phil: Did not mean to open can of worms with my question. And let me stress again, I do not care too much about the graphs,... | |
| Zu Soul Superfly Phil:LOL! I agree! I very much like Zu's philosophy of HiFi being something that lives where you do. My Zu's live in my living room, with TV in between. But it means the whole family listens to them ALL THE TIME and we keep the TV off. It is a bet... | |
| Zu Soul Superfly Phil:Yes, the Stereophile review was positive, and please, I keep saying i am not a numbers guy.I'm just pointing out that when you look at third party measurements of Essence FRD in its frequency zone they look very little like the Zu measurement... | |
| Zu Soul Superfly Phil:Here is the stereophile link:stereophile.com/floorloudspeakers/zu_essence_loudspeaker/index5.htmlIf you ignore HF what you have left is FRD. Note that the measurement taken both with and without the plinth.So we have huge suckout at 60 Hz, an... | |
| Zu Soul Superfly Miklorsmith:I agree. I originally had the druids spiked to the carpet, but then put it on wood boards which sat on the carpet. made a big difference. In the future, I may swap the wood for stone.One benefit of the wood was that I coulde slide the ... | |
| Zu Soul Superfly phil:yes, i know that infamous graph, but i am not a graph-only guy (or i would not have druid).i was thinking of essence stereophle graph which was pretty ragged too. soul looked so flat i cannot believe it.TIM, try get better sound by jim smith.... | |
| Zu Soul Superfly 213cobra:One question I was hoping you could shed light on.The freq graph on Zu's website for the Superfly is remarkably flat. So flat I do not believe it. And so flat in HF that it makes me nervous (as in the past I have not liked very flat high ... | |
| Sub Question Kclone: RELS are unusual in that they recommend binding the sub inputs to the binding post of the speakers.Therefore, I don't think they introduce any crossover into the circuit.It may be possible to wire them in different ways. Look at picture of... | |
| Sub Question If you use high-pass in sub, it will take take pressure off your mains.Best if you do this with stereo subs. |
