Carbon Miller is the person to ask this question, as he can tell you everything you need to know. He is one the most knowledgeable in this discussion group. I have communicated with a few times recently about upgrading cables . Both he and Jason Ressler at The Cable Company were the first to tell me to think of cables the same way you think about components. These two individuals are great resources. People who don’t believe speaker cables make a difference are people who don’t they either don’t want to spend the money on high end cables or people who don’t know what they are talking about.
Zu vs. Tekton? -- your comparisons on price, build, sound
My brother in law just bought a pair of Zu Soul Supreme speakers to go with his Rogue RP7/First Watt J2 combo.
He's clearly chasing that lower watt/higher sensitivity magic.
I've asked him about his interest in Devore, AudioNote and some other pricier, high sensitivity speakers, and they're just not coming up used at a price he wants to buy.
So, he's going with Zu.
Zu and Tekton are in the same price region. How do their similarly priced models compare?
If you have researched Zu and Tekton and compared similar priced models:
What differences in your system did you notice in their sound?
How would you compare their build quality — cabinets, drivers, etc.?

opinion, just like the comparative sample size…. the used pair in Phoenix, now that is cool and good contribution by @chorus |
ZU makes some very attractive speakers in fun colors I can relate to. Steve Guttenburg recently harpooned a new ZU model. Odd that he did so as normally does no negative reviews. Did he feel he needed to say what he did or did he not realize how his review came across? I think some of both.
The Tekton look is for a younger market. I get that. Audiophiles owe a debt of gratitude to Tekton for capturing the imagination of younger folks who may be new to audio.
I have heard Moabs in two home systems. Ditto with Double Impact and Lore. The first Tekton I heard that piqued my interest is that Monitor I mentioned.
Decware promotes about 10 models on their site. He has knocked off some of the truly proven designs over time. Although I haven't heard Steve's stuff I am a believer.
I doubt many other makers can claim the 700+ unit backlog that Decware currently has.
As the story goes if you have a drinking fountain in an obscure location, people would flock to it if flowed beer.
People may want to get in line there before Harmon gobbles them up and the genius & pricing changes.
