I've come to realize that most speakers have something incredibly cheap associated with them. From plastic parts made to look like metal to $50 drivers, even at $20,000. You could buy an airplane for the cost of some of this fake wood and rubber.
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?

@bjesien maybe an ultralight or a wore out C150. |
The replacement of Soul Supreme by the upcoming Union 6 Supreme is in a mini-tower but nothing at all like a Dirty Weekend box. The internals are far beyond either ODW or Omen II. The bandwidth of the speaker is broader than what came before. Bass response and slam will be astonishing but anyone wanting more can still buy an Undertone II. Overall, what's coming will be a more expansive, agile, responsive sound than the prior Zu speakers in the price range. Just because the exterior has the same dimensions as an Omen Dirty Weekend does not remotely mean it's a similar speaker. Phil |
