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.

It looks like the Zu Omen is $1500. This is according to their website as of today. Interesting....looks like a Druid/Superfly hybrid. :) If I can get them for $1000, I am in Zu land.

Up on Zu. It is "Omen".

Same FRD it looks like. 98 db/w/1m. looks like wide dispersion driver in horn supertweeter -- very strange. no idea how griewe loading is implemented

$1500.

no idea what pricing for superfly is -- don't think it can be $1800.

I'm sure I won't be the first to note this, but now there's the Zu Omen at $1,500. Interesting.

If the omen isn't meant to undermine the standard Soul and retail for both are 1500 and 1800 respectively. Then who would ever buy the omen?

I own 08 Druids which I run with a method sub. Maybe this has been covered off but for those who have heard both Druid and Superfly is the fly a significant upgrade to the Druid sound. If so in what way. I must admit I like the lower profile of the Superfly and about my only beef with my druids is that they tend to shout down at you vs. stand mounts for example where drivers are located at ear height. I always find they sound better standing behind my couch than sitting.

I have been considering both Defintion 2's and Avantgarde Duos - I run a 300b set - but maybe all the speaker I need is superfly.
