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.?

For a BIG stage sound...My Tekton Pendragon w/ 7 Tweeter array is unbeatable...Not as bright as I would like though. I needed the Schiit mini loki + EQ. and Bingo ...I have the sound of speakers many time their $2500 price point. The paint job on the cabinets is atrocious.....The sound is stunning. You are there with the artist  if you pair them with a low power tube amp (KT88)  and an Denafrips Ares 2 DAC....Wow. HI FI Happiness on the cheap.

I've tried many speaker wires and the Most for the least is Anticables basic wires. Totally turned my system around. For $200 you can clean up your sound!

If you want looks.........ZU   ....if you want sound  ....Tekton....That's it !
