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.?

@missioncoonery 

you started to insult me, and whichever way you want to construe it, it was completely unnecessary and rude. Not to mention you misconstrued what I wrote completely. Very childish and sad

@facten 

seriously? can you google what difference, little difference, littlest difference mean?

vs. NO difference?

difference by whatever amount MEANS whichever is better is better by that amount. But by no means equals to NO DIFFERENCE

@grizzlybutter

And, littlest in your context no matter how much you want to try to make it out differently means that you don’t find any difference between a $20 and $2000 cable.  So get off your high horse

@grislybutter you are digging a deep hole here. @missioncoonery did not call you an idiot. You also did not articulate your position very clearly.

Better thicken up the old hide here or you will consume yourself.

I read your post and I agree you are really downplaying cables and their impact on a mid to upper level system. Granted Zu and Tekton are not top shelf speakers but they will benefit from a better cable than a $20.00 lamp chord. 

OP, here. I took @grislybutter to be intending a claim that was missing two words. 

Here's the claim as I think it was intended: 

"20 dollars cables vs 2000 dollar cables *can sometimes* make the littlest difference"

This seems indisputable.

@larry5729 I bought a 14' length AP Crystal Solo Oval 8  single speaker cable from TMR for $600 and I paid the company $130 to cut it in half and re-terminate it. Brand new that speaker wire would have been $2661 as a pair of 7' cables. There are ways to get value without buying new.
