Zu Dirty Weekend 6 went on sale today


The good folks at Zu certainly know a thing or two about creating hype around new products. The Dirty Weekend 6 went on sale this morning. It was positioned as a first come first served release with a November delivery. I bought a pair with the "supreme" upgrade. A little risky buying without hearing them first, but I figure I can probably unload them if they're not to my liking, since they'll probably sell out. Any thoughts on these or Zu in general for that matter ..

a very wide array of cool gear. Good luck with the setup. These are some decently heavy towers for sure. 

Just made it home. Almost ran over Sean at ZU while I was backing up to the door. 
 

killer group of guys. I had a blast. 

Got them pretty well setup in my room. More towards the wall is better IMO. But not in corners. They really don’t mind at all being close to a the wall. They also like separation, like most speakers. 
 

had a big road trip today with 10 hours of driving. I don’t want to speak too soon  but build quality is 10/10. They actually had some extra rustic Veneer to use. I may have the only rustic DW6s. Haha  

 

everything has met expectations.  The Denon voicing is coming through and is making these sound very warm and tube-like. 
 

the only thing that’s been underwhelming is the bass. But I don’t want to speak too soon.  Going to run them hard tomorrow

Congrats on a successful trip and getting them home safe. I bet thats a super cool finish. Surprised they seem bass shy…not the case at all in my space.  One would think that integrated would have plenty of low end grunt with those speaker.  Hopefully they wake up today. 

One of the questions I'd like to ask is do they play big?  I know they will play loud but when you are in your listening position playing at a reasonable volume....say under 85 db, do they project a big sound, which for me, help music to sound more lifelike.
