I heard them Saturday morning at Southwest Audio Fest in the Black Ice room and I must say I was totally impressed. It was paired with the Black Ice FX10H. In my opinion the best sounding room to my ears. There was one other, WBT/Kimber Kable but they had some unobtanium speakers. I’m saving my pennies for the exact combo. Giant killer and a fun combo. I’ve seen reviews on YT for years and I thought Zu where sensationalized. It wasn’t until I got ears on them in person I understood stood the principles behind Zu speakers and the Dirty Weekend. KISS

I run subwoofers so I was hoping for a much smaller bookshelf. Giant bookshelfs seem to be a style now I run a pair of Maggies LRS and alternate every other month with a pair of DW omen mk 2 for a different sound to mix it up. Smaller makes a swap and storage much easier. Love the Zu sound with Rogue audio, just don't get the giant bookshelves, might as well get DW6.

We wanted enough cross section and flare radius to allow very low port noise even at high volume levels, which also improves pressure over velocity even at low levels. Front mounted so timing is as tight as possible, which also allows improved placement opportunities. Happy you are digging the DW Mk.II with the NAD7000! Thanks

@seancasey7090
Жыл бұрын
9 out to 10 times the answer is no, go with the floor standing versions as a stand is going to take up just as much space. Still, there might be the rare time where a stand mount DX6 will sound better than the DW6 (floor stander sister). Funky sounding rooms that have big summing modes below 45 Hz (kick drum) might not play as well with a speaker like DW6 which is a bit more extended in the bass region. The DWX hits just a touch harder at 45 Hz, but rolls off sooner than the DW6. If you have a complex room with lots of modes in the bass, give us a call to discuss, as for me or Gerrit.
@seancasey7090
Жыл бұрын
...not usually in a smaller room. Smaller rooms usually sound great. These or the DX6 transition out of the near field in just two feet so, yeah, if you have room for the floor stander, that's the right choice of the two most every time.

@seancasey7090
Жыл бұрын
At a half inch radius is going to do nothing preservable, but it will change the look. If we make the speaker with a two inch or more radius we then need to make the cabinet out of fiber and resin, which will double the price as we would also need to core the composite to keep cabinet resonance down. Keep it crisp and good looking. Diffraction can be easily controlled with high and medium density foam if needed for tracking/mastering....
