Zu vs. Tekton? -- your comparisons on price, build, sound

Carbon Miller is the person to ask this question, as he can tell you everything you need to know.  He is one the most knowledgeable in this discussion group.  I have communicated with a few times recently about upgrading cables .  Both he and Jason Ressler at The Cable Company were the first to tell me to think of cables the same way you think about components.  These two individuals are great resources.  People who don’t believe speaker cables make a difference are  people who don’t they either don’t want to spend the money on high end cables or people who don’t know what they are talking about.

Grislybutter - have you ever heard Synergistic Research Atmosphere Level Speaker wires.  All I have thinking about is upgrading my speakers.  However, Jason Ressler at The Cable Company kept telling me I haven’t heard my system.  I didn’t believe.  However, now I don’t know if I need to do so.  I am hearing a lot of space and detail I have not heard in the past 5 years.  It is difficult to come to grips with spending $1,700 for 2 pieces of wire.  I think those you put down wires can’t afford them and as a result they tell everyone how crazy they are.  I think Carbonmiller told me to think of cables as components. They are sending signals to your components so why not improve the signal. Perhaps this is why they call this electronics.

I think a lot of people who are non-believers in speaker wire are those either have difficulty writing the check or are jealous about those who can.  As a result they put down others who can.  Perhaps their hearing loss doesn’t allow them to hear greater detail.  4 hours after I hooked mine up I heard my tweeters for the first time.  At first they sounded harsh and I called my sales person to complain.  He said give it 4-6 hours, take two aspirin and call me in the morning.  I think the added silver must bring out the highs.

speaking of highs I would t think the Tekton’s must drill your ears.  I we have a beautiful living room and my wife would kick me out if I came home with Tektons.  I am trying to decide between Focal Kanta’s and Paradigm Persona 3’s.  I like Persona 3’s for sleekness.  The Kanta’s are much bigger and I don’t like the two piece grills.  I also don’t like over powering the room and ruining the looks of our room.

The gate keeper has the last word.
