Zu introduces Soul 6

https://www.zuaudio.com/loudspeakers/soul-21

Major changes:
1. $5999 starting price
2. Okoume standard finish instead of hickory
3. Bigger cabinet - up from 31.5" to 36"
4. 120 days to audition in home!

Zu claims Druid 6-type performance, deeper bass than mk.II, more amp friendly, horn-like impulse response.
I am intrigued.  Soul Supreme is a nice value at $4500 so Zu must really feel this a step up in performance to price it above that.

Anyone heard these yet?  I'd be curious to hear some impressions.

Steve Guttenberg aka the “Audiophiliac” has a new review out today on YouTube. Sort of surprising to me though I’ve never heard a Zu Speaker. Short version: it’s a mixed bag. Lively, great imaging, engaging, but he worked hard to get a tonal balance he could live with (not enough bass without some fussing).


I’ve actually been considering both the Zu Soul 6 and the Klipsch Cornwall iv so his comparison between the two is helpful. I’m interested to hear others’ reactions to this new bit of data.

Zu shipped Steve's speakers too soon. Steve shot and posted his review too soon. 

That sounds right to me. Thanks for the detailed write up. 
One of the things I like about Guttenberg is his ‘everyman’ approach. But in this case that might have backfired a bit.
