I experimented with them at length. Personally, I preferred the Jena. The Tesla did all the hi-fi things audiophiles like--resolution, soundstaging, etc.--but the Jena, in addition to doing all those things, just sounded more open and natural. Considering they're also significantly cheaper sweetened the deal. Also, Jennifer at Jena is terrific to deal with. She's easily one of the most knowledgeable people in the industry.
