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.?

I've had Tektons and as good as they sound (for the money) they are not made that well or should I say they are made to a price point. its the cabinet work that's lacking IMO, that is where they are saving money to keep the pricing down. From pictures I'd say Zu is ahead in this area, sound I do not know. 

Personally i couldn't live with the looks of the semi gloss paint and poor cabinet quality. Not saying they are bad just that's where Tekton saves money to meet a price point. it would be nice it they offered an upgraded cabinet for those who wanted it.
