Zu Soul Superfly


I just ordered a pair of the new Zu speakers on a whim. I was going to wait for information, but the fact that they threw in the free superfly upgrades to the first 30 people got me.

From a similar thread it sounds like some of you guys have heard the speaker despite information only being released today. I'm wondering what you can share about it?

Also, I am really hoping it works with a Firstwatt F1 amplifier. Can anyone comment as to that? I know the Druid's and Essences worked OK.

I'm really partial to the Melody gear and Zu speakers. I'm using an MK88 (KT88 push pull that is surprisingly beautiful) right now and am hoping to buy an AN211 as a potential 'destination' amp with my Def 2s (nanotec drivers on order).

Given you are in Europe, the amp could be had pretty cheaply too.
Thank you for your input. I agree there are quite a few good 45, 2A3 and of course 300 B SET amps in the 2-8 Watts range but I am not certain this will be sufficient power for my needs. I will get an Audion Silver Night 300B in my room in the near future and will be able to see how it comes along with its 7-8 watts. but currently I am thinking more in the 18-35 watts range.
Many of the brands relatively well known in the US have little presence over here, for example Sophia Electric, Audion and even Melody (I think currently not distributed in Europe) and I am hesitant to mail-order one just based on forum reviews. I would assume that the Soul has less power needs than the Definition, is that right? If someone could let me know whether I need to look for something different on the Soul Superfly as opposed to the amp needs of the Definition speakers that would be very helpful (for example, does Black Shadow or other 845 amps or a Quad II Forty behave as well on the Souls as on the Def?).
Gemini,

I committed to the purchase of the Melody AN211 and coincidentally the person buying my MK88 is the owner of a pair of Soul Superflys with nanotec drivers, so maybe he will chime in as to the pairing.

I was looking at the prices to get gear from places like Catylink and you've got some real good Chinese stuff available very cheaply.
Gemini,

Here is Melody European Distributor:

Where are you located?
Thanks for the hint. I will check them out. I am in Germany, so not too far away, at least by US standards
