Never got around to writing about my 60 days with the Zu Dirty Weekends, but mixed bag is for sure the way to put it. Doesn't sound like much changes as you move up the line, his findings of the much more expensive new Soul 6 highlights the same strengths and weaknesses I found.

Granted my time with Zu's have been limited to audio shows, but the same recipe, even with some additional salt or garlic usually nets a similar flavor. Sorta like how Zu prefers to show their speakers: DJ on the 1's and 2's, kinda crap gear, played too loud in a space too big for the speakers.

FFS Zu, just commit to the branding that they're ragged-sounding PA speakers in car-color painted cabs, and you can't make them sound demonstrably better no matter how much superglue you dope the cones with. There's nothing "hi-fi" (or even natural) about the sound.

@yotacowboy I do have some old notes from when I had them and found some redeeming quality, but yeah, not sure why they have such a devoted following. I will do a write up in the coming weeks. I will give it to Zu, their mod of the denon cartridges is superb at least.
