Some ready good comment and one ignorant one FULL OF CAPS.
Focals need more power than your amp provides to sound their best. IME, you could summarize their sound as tonally balanced, more detailed than many others(but not hyper-etched). They make their drivers, as well as for many other companies, which has got to be a plus for future-proofing.
Coincidents are designed for mid-to-lowish tube amps. A great match for what you'll use. IME, they have a very lively sound, with the sound jumping out of the speaker in a good way directionally towards how horns do that. Bass may not go quite low or deep as the Focals, but what's there is very fast, tuneful. Imaging soundstage is superb.
Tektons - No opinion except that if they were never mentioned again, Audiogon would be more enjoyable.
Cheers,
Spencer
