Legacy Aeris vs Tekton Ulfberht vs Triton Reference


Just curious if anyone out there could provide their own personal opinion on these three fine loudspeakers in comparison with each other.
Anyone listen to them in some fashion? Pick or choice one or the other for some reason?

Lay it on me if you have. 

I currently on the Tekton Double Impacts. Frankly I am not disappointed in them for the price I paid. But I am starting to get the itch....and I have always lusted over owning a pair of Legacy Audio speakers. Admittedly that before I had real world experience with the DIs. So that muddies the waters.  

Then came along the big boy Tekton Ulfberht. I am reluctant to upgrade to those over the DIs worried I won't really appreciate the sonic upgrade as much. But maybe I'm wrong there.

I am also curious about the Triton Reference, and how they might compare. I like the idea of having a loudspeaker with a powered subwoofer(Triton and Aeries) as the Primaluna HP and tubes don't seem to provide the same bottom end smack as the Parasound A31 I also use. 


yes, i realize the Aeries are in a different league price wise. But everyone, me included, who own Tektons understand their value and the 9-12K Ulfberhts have previously been compared to speakers well above their price point. So I am open to a wider price gap as needed. 

My main system components:
Tekton DI
Primaluna Dialogue HP Integrated amp
PS Audio Directstream DAC for digital
VPI Prime turntable with Soundmith Zephr MIMC star for analog.

You are pretty going to be best off with the most efficient speaker if you are sticking to the Prima Luna (which I don't see any reason not to). The Tektons you have are rated at a 99 dB efficiency, so if you look at a speaker that is even 96, it will be noticeably more quiet.

The Tekton stuff is all pretty similar in efficiency, I would stick in that range if you like the DI's. Going down to 95 dB on the Aeris or 93 for the tritons would probably be pretty noticeable.
