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.

I'm guessing no one has heard the new Zu Soul 6's on this forum yet? I got an email from them and they are saying delivery in 6 weeks. Hope that is true.
I enjoyed my Soul Supremes except for the poor integration of the full range driver and the super tweeter. I'm curious if this coaxial design solves that issue.
I should clarify my original post, it was taken from Zu's site on the day Soul 6 was released. 
Some corrections/additions:

Cabinet is the same size as Soul mk.II: 31.5 inches
Entire cabinet structure is Okoume, not veneered fiberboard
Bass extension down to 38 hz

I have to say of the 5 Zu models I have heard in my home, Soul mk.II was my least favorite.  If Sean is able to get Druid type performance out of that cabinet, he truly is a genius.

John Darko currently has a pair of Soul 6 in his room, hopefully he will be posting a review soon.

I have a pair of Soul 6 arriving on Wednesday. I have Druid 6 and Definition 4 to compare it to. I'll post comments in a week or so.

15% off today,, I just cked the speaker looks and  the db spec,, all it is , some sort of WBer /whizzzer, cone looks paper, I don't like paperpaper, Only bamboo paper/bamboo wood types. They dont say what the cone is made of,, I NEED to know. 
I only like treated bamboo fiber/pulps/wood ofrmashed banana pulp (Tang Band). 

OK now we got that out the way..onto db sens
wow a  wopping 100db. 
Thats 6 db more than my limit, 
Yeah I know my DavidLouis VX8 is in fact 95db, thats 1 db more than my allowed max.
'WEll let me say 94/95db sens is ultimate limit.
There is going to be serioes issues witha  95+ db sens WBer in my system. 
My amp boasts 100 watts. Rm is small, very  near field listening.
= 96+db not doable.
Folks need to be aware when making  speaker choices.
You have to know certain things abouta  speaker before  hitting the  BUY NOW button.
The speaker may indeed be a  steallar stunning voice.
But again the db sens is 4db over my limit.
WE need to open discussion  about db sen s, how edach 1 db increment decides how a  speaker will perform in certain amps/linestage.
Most if not all linestage have a  good bit of gain this higher amplification drives the gain factor in the amplifier this creating high gain  in the speaker circuit. Thus making any db sens over 96db a  serious issue in most home settings. 
The benifits of a  12AX7 gain in the linestage delivers superior dynamics and details. 
There are tradeoffs. Which is why i imagine some linestages employ a  12AT7 or 6SN7 type tubes.  Lower amplificatio facots. 
I prefer the 12AX in drive tubes  with AU's softening the initial gain. 
Both together work their magic. 
But you pay with higher gains.
Trade off tradeoff tradeoffs.
Everything in audio has some tradeoffs. 
Most of AER/Voxativ speakers also are disqualified from my interest due to  high db sens. 
With any speaker at 96db+ I would need a  20x20x12 room to make the speaker work also a  true flea watt SET/ 1-4 watts.
