Tekton KatzMeowV3 or Zu Superfly/Essence?

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?

What about the sound of Zu Omen to the Tekton KatzMeow? One audiphile just informed me that the Zu Soul seemed warmer and darker than the Tektons and for that he prefers the Tektons.

Personally, I find the Zu Omen plenty open in my system, so moving the sound more forward and detailed would probably be not to my liking. Especially since I did not like the Zu Soul Superfly as much as the Druids, as the Soul Superfly are significantly more open, clear, and detailed than the warmer sounding Druids. For some though, the more open sound will be great.

I will probably keep my Druids and install some Zen Matrix Reference interconnects if I want to open the sound up in a rich yet more tonally saturated open and detailed manner.
