So I started a thread sometime ago about the ZU Soul Superfly (cool name), but since then ZU Audio has released the Omen (a most ominous name)...



Retail is $1.5K, but it's being introduced in the US for $1K...

Here are the specs:

Zu Omen Quick Specs
Efficiency: 98 dB 1W/1m
Impedance: 12 Ohm
Height: 36" tall + footers
Footprint: 12" square
Tube and solid-state friendly!
Cabinet: MDF with real maple skin
Manufactured in Ogden, Utah, USA

As usual I'll be following the reviews with great interest to see whether the ZU actually reaches the claimed 98db efficiency and more importantly, whether it sounds good...

Good High Efficiency speakers are relatively hard to find at affordable prices, so I'd love to see many more on the market...

Anyway, I'm sold on the looks... big, macho and imposing with some fresh colour choices...
