I ended up with the Zu Def 4. The Dirty Weekend Six is a complete platform revamp over the discontinued Omen Dirty Weekend, only the size and famous good looks and tone remain. The Klipsch also have better treble extension and detail. The fall off is so steep my sub is crossed over at 90Hz to make the bass guitar sound even across a run of scales. Not able to reach their targets with new drivers it was decided to repurpose the trade-ins and put them back in service. .FIYolDqalszTnjjNfThfT{max-width:256px;white-space:normal;text-align:center} I have other speakers which are forward and revealing and none of them exhibit the inherent harshness that the Zu's have. I kind of really want to give them a try. So what I'm wondering, is . (The standard Dirty Weekend Six is fitted with a machined aluminum black anodized trim ring and not the hand polished silver ring, but still features the machined and hand polished FRD center pole and tweeter lens.) DW6 has that sensational starting price with clear, user swappable upgrade packages. I agree that the DW sounds wonderful with a variety of amps: I had both a Class D and Class A running on them, and I must say I prefer the latter. I ran a lot of amps through them before I moved. Restored and original Sansui, Kenwood, Scott tube integrated amps. Seems like Steve Guttenberg is head over heals about the Forte III: Which is interesting because his first published review on CNET of the F-IIIs was not so over the top and in fact he said they can be unforgiving and fatiguing. Dirty Weekend 6 - a slice of the fidelity and precision of Union Six, drenched in the warm wet and full tones of Omen. Given that Cornwall can replicate at 30 Hz, we support this choice on "very little sound below 40 Hz,". At best its been a break-even proposition, but if we are really honest with ourselves about the true costs of the promotion, its a money-loser, which of course we cannot sustain.. ._2Gt13AX94UlLxkluAMsZqP{background-position:50%;background-repeat:no-repeat;background-size:contain;position:relative;display:inline-block} That said, we encourage the upgrade if funds are handy.

Extra Burn-In - An extra 200 hours of industrial-level factory burn-in for the DW6/Supreme. I was wondering if any Audiogon member, went from klipsch to Zu or vice versa, and what were the difference you percieved in imaging and midrange etcany regrets, and how about long term, any listening fatigue ? The Cornwall offers a moderate bassline that is not an overpowering thumper, similar to the Heresy. If the music was not recorded/mastered well, they will emphasize that greatly. Sure, sure, these things can wreck your hearing with clean, high-level SPLs all day long. The path of least effort and cost for you to upgrade is to sell your Omen DW for nearly what you paid, maybe more, and simply buy a new set of DW6.
