New Zu Audio Soul Supreme Speakers


Hey All,

Just got a new set of Soul Supremes...finally after a long wait to match up with my Undertone. All in American Walnut!

Still getting used to the sound - good, detail, imaging and dynamics. But have noticed what seems like some slight quality control and/or consistency issues.

My Undertone has great looking veneer, but came with a non trivial gash in the veneer. Zu was cool enough to create a small discount for the issue to apply to my Soul Supremes. The speakers then, came with some small but questionable changes to the construction. Instead of clean looking buttoned screws for the connector plate that is used on all other products...they use larger Philips head screws that don’t seat flush. Im told from Zu thats the new standard? Also the veneer doesn’t seem to match the quality previously used on the Undertone.

Anyone else recently picked up speakers from Zu and having the same experiences?

Those screws are tardy looking. The veneer seems ok, not great...but they're not that expensive either, right?
Definitely not the right fastener for this application and not what they ever used in the past...looks like a handful of woodscrews. Weird right? But was told, this is what they now use and no one else has complained. Though they would sell me the proper fasteners if I wanted them. lol!
