| Can a name make you or break you in the Audio World The name was intentional as a means of drawing attention. The announcement of yet another headphone amp and DAC would have barely been noticed. The announcement of an amp and DAC from a company with a unique name was rewarded with attention. It... | |
| New Revel Salons coming? The rumor is that the Salon 3 will be introduced at CES 2016. | |
| Schiit Yggdrasil DAC ?? Why does Schiit use such difficult names esp. since they aren't really exotic, just sound that way. Well not really of Germanic/Slavic/Norse origin, just some made up part of the world that doesn't exist.The product names are all based on names an... | |
| Marantz PM6005 with Zu Omens? I have Soul Superfly speakers and have been looking at that same kit amp. Did you get any of the options on the amp? Are you using EL34 or KT88 tubes? | |
| Zu Soul Superfly As an aside, if anyone here was thinking about picking up the Soul/Superfly/ or Omen/Def/Bookshelf, the black friday sale appears to be up and running on their website. | |
| ZU OMEN speakers 12ohms?? They appear to have gone hyperactive. Omen, Soul, Soul Superfly, Omen Definition and now the Omen Centre. There are at least 3 other speakers (beyond what you've mentioned) coming in the Omen line in the very near future. Yes, they are in overdriv... | |
| Zu Soul Superfly Well, since today was a federal holiday and I didn't have to work, I made it up to Ogden to pick up the Superflys. They've been unboxed and hooked up, and right now I'm working on placement. I should have pictures up in a day or two, after I get t... | |
| Zu Soul Superfly Well, everything just changed. I will not be getting the Omens. I won the pair of bright green Superflys that Zu raffled off at RMAF.I'll be picking them up on November 11. I'll be sure to post pictures as soon as I have them set up. They clash wi... | |
| Zu Soul Superfly Naggots, your experience has a lot to do with my desire to perhaps experiment with a used pair of Druids. I think I would probably go with the Omen's driver and see how things played out. One of the nice things about Zu's simple designs is that th... | |
| Zu Soul Superfly I prefer the sonic signature of the Omen's driver over the Superfly's driver. The Superfly had a few characteristics that I found distracting, but not serious enough to keep me from wanting a pair. I didn't hear those same things in the Omen.I ask... | |
| Zu Soul Superfly For what its worth I was exchanging emails this morning with a friend who was dead set on buying the Omen, but after hearing it and the SF at a Florida Zu party, he is ponying up the extra money for Superfly.Exact opposite for me. I've now had som... | |
| Zu Soul Superfly From the respective specs pages:Omen: Zu260FRD/G4Soul: Zu260FRD/G4HODruid: Zu260FRD/G2-08The Omen might not have the exact same driver as the Soul Superfly (not sure what the HO designates) but it is certainly not the same driver as the Druids. | |
| Zu Soul Superfly Interesting info there, Gopher. This is looking more and more like it will be my next pair of speakers. The Souls were great speakers for the 3 days I had them, but too expensive for my budget. I can definitely make the Omen work. | |
| Zu Soul Superfly Zanon, I'm pretty sure the tweeter is actually the same as the Soul. The pair I borrowed had the screen over the tweeter, which Sean said was something they were experimenting with.In terms of cost-cutting, it looks like the cabinet itself is real... | |
