Zu vs. Tekton? -- your comparisons on price, build, sound

i had to get you this one 😀.

are you thinking of trying a pair of one of these speakers?

maybe the brother in law will bring his over and you can hear them in your setup

have a safe holiday….

 Zu is an Interesting company. Just looked at their site. Thanks

My guess the Zu are better built than Tektons. My friend who owns the Zu Speakers sold them 8 yrs ago, the model I think they are essence? My friend move to Omega Alnico HO, to Tektons impact monitor, to Ps 12 Tektons.

@riley804 I'm really not about to change speakers. I did write to Jim Salk about considering making a more sensitive speaker. The problem he cites is accuracy. But he's thinking about it.

What I'm interested in is -- if you will -- the "tier below Devore" for sensitive speakers. I know folks love/hate Tekton, but since Zu is just down the road in Utah and is a similar kind of company and price-class, I'm wondering about them in comparison. Both those speakers can show up at The Music Room, to which I can drive and try out a pair.

I've had Tektons and as good as they sound (for the money) they are not made that well or should I say they are made to a price point. its the cabinet work that's lacking IMO, that is where they are saving money to keep the pricing down. From pictures I'd say Zu is ahead in this area, sound I do not know. 

Personally i couldn't live with the looks of the semi gloss paint and poor cabinet quality. Not saying they are bad just that's where Tekton saves money to meet a price point. it would be nice it they offered an upgraded cabinet for those who wanted it.
