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.?

@larry5729 sure, cables matter, but the money spent on cables are way better investment on speakers, they make such a tiny difference. It's not a myth but way overhyped. 20 dollars cables vs 2000 dollar cables make the littlest difference

@missioncoonery

where did I say the 2000 dollar cable is not better than the 20 dollar cable??????????

 

and you call me an idiot?

 

Please try to read what I wrote and react to that.

 

Also, this is a Tekton vs Zu post. Hm.

@larry5729 

"I think those you put down wires can’t afford them "

there is truth to that, your cable budget is my speaker budget. But that's not to say I don't want to hear the difference. I do. And I tried. And for me there was such a small difference I can't go nuts about cables

@facten yeah, you can't read, I am sorry for your limitations.

My words absolutely don't mean that the 2000 dollar one IS NOT better. I can't believe we at kindergarten level now. Please leave me alone. 

@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

@larry5729 or some people just have a life. (mortgage, 3 kids in college, mother's hospital bills, trips to Europe, date nights, etc., all the good and bad stuff that cost $$$)

@jerryg123 

nope. Not digging any hole. Saying dumb and untrue things over and over don't make them smart and true, but you can keep trying and attacking me

@facten @missioncoonery 

let me help you... since you seem very confused or you are trying very hard to  distort what I said..

In 4 different ways, very plain and clear English I said:

CABLES MATTER. BETTER CABLES ARE BETTER

"cables matter"

"t's not a myth"

I also said, that cables don't matter much, BETTER CABLES MAKE A TINY DIFFERENCE better speakers make a waaaay bigger difference.

"tiny difference"

"littlest difference"

Btw littlest difference:

money spent on speakers make a big difference  >> amplifiers make less big a difference > source make a lot less difference >> cables make the littlest difference

 

AND THEN YOU COMPLETELY FALSIFIED WHAT I SAID AND MOCKED ME FOR SAYING WHAT I DID NOT SAY. THAT IS DESPICABLE, LOW LOW LEVEL OF INSULTS

to be 100% >>>>>>>>>>>>

sure, cables matter, but the money spent on cables are way better investment on speakers, they make such a tiny difference. It's not a myth but way overhyped. 20 dollars cables vs 2000 dollar cables make the littlest difference"

Again, you put words into my mouth I never said, you have serious reading problems or something else. I give up.

 (if it's the reading problem: one last time - people have different lives, some have money for expensive Hummel figurines, some for College, some for groceries. Different lives, different priorities is what I said)
