When a speaker offers upgrades (e.g. Tekton)

I finally decided on the Zu Audio Omen "Dirty weekends". I ordered the ClairityCaps upgrade for a $100 more. I did, as stringreen says, as a "quest for perfectionism". I doubt I'd hear a difference in a blind trial but it makes me feel better.

These Omen's replace a pair of Paradigm 7se's I have had for ~25 years. Really liked them. Hoping I'll hear a difference.

The price of the Omen DW was a little higher than just right (I'm in Canada and our dollar is really low right now vis a vis yours).

I decided to push myself a bit and spend the extra $100 bucks on the claritycaps and I have inquired about upgraded wiring.

I'm at $1,100 - the price of a new Omen Mk II is $1,800. It includes the upgraded caps and wiring, as well as upgraded cabinet, insulation and drivers. Of course the marketing department has written about the upgrades in such as way that I would really like these upgrades!

But unfortunately USD$1,800 is out of my range and also, while the Omen DW was highly rated as an amazing value, I haven't seen the same comments about a brand new Omen.

oh yeah with all that said I could also appeal to my desire to become a true audiophile and find the money from who-knows-where and buy the Zu Soul (no way on GGE that I could find more money then that).

Come on ... someone try and talk me into it!
