6 weeks:
The above previous review was the email I sent Steve right after taking delivery of the SE84UFO in early December. Now I'm 6 weeks in and have observations.
i) The SE84UFO has exceeded my expectations.
2) My low watt/high efficiency set up would not be possible and/or as musically satisfying without the Zu speakers.
3) Combining some of my older elements with the up to date, refined but even older "Back To The Future" approach of both Steve Deckert at Decware and Sean Casey at Zu has brought a new level of audio excellence to me after almost 60 years of listening.

Together the amp and speakers form a synergism of open clarity, natural timbres, spatial ques, dynamic range and frequency response unlike any system I've ever heard because of the amp design which extends to both ends of the audio spectrum with fuller dynamics and the single point source of the Zu driver. The speakers allow the amp to breath with the music dynamically and the sound to arrive at your ear in a more natural way ... all of it in much the way live sound does in 3D!

Digital or LP, recordings from the 50's up to the present all are giving me micro detail I've not heard in them before. It's almost like buying new records and CD's. Take Five/Brubeck, Boston Pops, Philly Orch and really any recording made with vacuum tube recording equipment sounds so open and natural as they were intended to. Later, solid state multi-track recordings remain very musical and listenable and the latest digital recordings take on a very analogue character. I can hear all the minute differences in all these recodings from different eras but all have become very listenable.

Steve advises taking "The Zen Experience" and wait until late at night when ambient noise is low and let some favorite recordings rip! I did this last night with The Eagles 'Til Hell Freezes Over, Miles' Kind of Blue, and Four Play's Greatest Hits CD's and  LP's:Philly Orch's American in Paris, Boston Pops/Earl Wild's Gershwin's Piano Concerto in F and Tony Bennett's Greates Hit's Vol.II Across all genre's and decades my system has gotten me closer to the "you are there, true to life sound" than anything I've heard in an "in home" audio system over these many years.

I bow to the courage and sagacity of guys like Steve and Sean Casey who have fought the industry hype and propaganda of decades to deliver far superior audio and ...at practical, reasonable prices to the consumer.

Don Vito ...

I’ve 16ohm Zu Soul Superfly. I believe the Omen DW are 8ohm. I’m inclined towards the SE84UFO 25th anniversary but is that going to be enough to power my Zu?

I’ve a vague recall of reading that Sean Casey says not. As I’m in the UK I don’t want to add myself to the very long list of eager buyers and find I’ve made an expensive mistake. Thoughts?

I’ve emailed Zu and they reckon 1 restricts the dynamic ceiling. Thoughts?

Thanks. I’m not especially looking for volume. Any other views?
