Tekton KatzMeowV3 or Zu Superfly/Essence?


I'm very familiar with the Zu sound having owned some in the past. Thinking of going back to a Zu speaker but have noticed a lot of interest as of late in Tekton's designs as well. Has anyone ever had the opportunity to compare the KatzMeow with either the Zu Soul Superfly or Zu Essence as these would be the 3 I'd probably consider. Thanks for any useful inputs.

I used to have Tekton Lore and Zu omen and I prefer the Zu much better. I sold both and replaced them with Tannoy Turnberry and never look back.
I used to own the Zu Essence. After that, I strongly considered a couple from Tekton. I hear nothing but wonderful things of his designs. Long story short, I had Louis at Omega make a pair of his single driver hemp speakers. I am VERY pleased. Give Louis a call...
I agree with you Devilboy that Louis from Omega makes great speakers and he doesn't get nearly enough credit and his speakers should be given strong consideration. He is a low key and deserves accolades for his excellent products.
Guppy: Absolutely, and these aren't even broken in yet. I understand the drivers need 200 hours to really shine. I'm about 50 hours in and they are wonderful. I wish I found them thousands of dollars ago.

I also would like to hear of a comparison of the Tekton to the Zu line.

I like the way Tekton gives you an optional grill, a traditional size cabinet, a satin finish (unlike Zu Audio's textured finish), and lets you upgrade to a premium finish at a budget price (something Zu is not doing). But lets face it, they must sound good in your system also.

I have the Zu Druids (which I love) and some Zu Soul Superflys. The Superfly's for me and my system, were a little bit less warm and brighter sounding over the Druids than I would have liked, but very similar sounding. I could probably add some slightly more detailed brighter/forward sounding interconnects to my Druids to come close to the sound of the Soul Superfly Speakers. The Superfly's by the way did image a little better than the Druids did though.

The pricing and options of the Tektons make them seem like a superior alternative to the Zu speakers, but what about the sound in comparison?
