Zu Audio’s new Union Series Speakers is comprised of three models that replace six models. The result? Simplifying choice.
Zu’s stated goals for the new Union Series, beyond simplifying choice, is to:
All three models—Union Bookshelf, Union 6, and Union 6 Supreme—share the same Soul 6 full-range driver with center-mounted supertweeters and an amplifier-friendly 99dB sensitivity and 8 Ohm impedance.
The first model coming from the Union Series is the floorstanding Union 6, offered in a number of finish options and a very friendly price starting at $2899/pair(!). The Union Series replaces the Omen Dirty Weekend, Omen 2, Soul Supreme, Omen Bookshelf, Omen Center Channel, and Zu Cube.
The Union 6 will begin shipping next week.
