Rob,
I promise I'm not dithering on all these speaker possibilities just to aggravate you. ;-)
Yes, absolutely, I have read the Zu vs. Tekton thread. Thing is, the Omen Mk. II is just out, and that's two iterations removed from the version being discussed on that thread, IIRC. What's tempting is that Zu offers a 60 day trial (like Tekton) and will pay for return shipping with no restocking fee if you're not happy. I don't know of anybody else who's doing that.
The other thing that got me thinking about Zu is that a reviewer who hangs out on Audio Asylum and the Steve Hoffman Forums mentioned that he has never cared for any Zu speaker until he heard the latest version of the Omen Def, which he loved. That, too, got my attention.
