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

Whilst I am not exactly a lover of the Zu house sound they are far superior to Tekton in build quality , and component quality of drivers and crossovers minimal as they are. If I were looking for a Boom Box to stick on the back of a trailer and take part in the Notting Hill Carnival I might consider Tekton

It is always interesting to see how much hatred Tekton speakers get on here.  I owned the Zu Omen Dirty Weekend speakers and couldn't stand them. Thin and uninvolving sound but they were detailed.  I simply love my Tekton Moabs.  They sound incredible, better than any of the other speakers I've owned.  But if you want a fancy finish they aren't for you.

Go to youtube and search ZU vs Tekton.  There is a guy that have done a number of review videos comparing the two which include sound demo's.  I've watched all those videos and the bottom line is that with the models compared, the Tekton wins on sound and Zu wins on looks.  The models he compared were the Tekton Lore vs Zu Dirty Weekend and Omen.  There is also a comparison between the Tekton Uruz (a lore with ribbon tweeter) and the Zu Omen.

I have a pair of Tekton Lore References connected to my second system that has a vintage Denon PMA757 (80 wpc) with a Zen DAC V2---they sound amazing. I've also connected them to my Luxman 505uxii. Mine are in the blue finish and I get many compliments on them. I've only heard the Zu's at audio shows and they sounded fine. I did quite a bit of research on them as well and the Tektons always seem to get a little more favorability over the Zu's. I believe both have return policies if you don't like them. 

I haven’t heard or owned either brand but I do have a pair of Omega DynaTens.  If you are looking for a speaker similar to DeVore 0/93’s these are worth a look.  They are a departure from Omega’s single driver design but still very minimalist, no crossover and organic materials used in the woofer / tweeter.  
 

Build quality / craftsmanship is outstanding.  These aren’t identical to the Devore, they don’t use the same woofer / tweeter - conceptually they are similar and do both use Seas woofers / tweeters.  
 

I just moved up to a new set of Towers and might put my Omega’s up for sale, at a used price they would be an absolute steal based on the build / sound quality.
