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.

Dspringham - I highly recommend Atmasphere with Zu. You can happily use S30 with the Superfly, and any other Zu 'speakers because the high impedance makes a perfect match for OTL. Unless you need the extra power of the M60 monoblocks, stick with S30 and go for an Atmasphere preamp first - I believe it outperforms any passive, but I AM biased because we represent Atmasphere in the UK and I absolutely love the combination.

DISCLAIMER - we represent Zu and Atmasphere in the UK. Hopefully I've not offended anyone by posting.

Gopher - I second Franks' response. Also, bear in mind that if you don't need all the power of the S30, you can run it effectively with some of the output tubes removed - we've run it very happily into Zu Essence with only three tubes per channel, instead of the full five. Simon
