Tekton DIs or Legacy Focus SEs?

Unlike some I tend to post sparingly and only when I feel I either have something to contribute or feel I must. 

I have had the pleasure to have heard both speakers. 

I would most definitely not describe the Tekton DI as warm. 
But I would not describe them as bright or lean either. 
I agree with others that they are very neutral. 
I agree that they are revealing, transparent and fast/quick. Very much like a panel and a horn but not with their negatives and with all the positives of those designs plus all the positives of a great driver design. 
Best of both worlds. 
I also agree that the DI are a window of what you use with them. 
When I heard them at Capital Audio Fest I could tell that they were being held back by the equipment being used with them, not that equipment are not good. 
But with better equipment the DI would have soared much higher than they did. 

In my experience there are few audio products that “windows” to whatever is attached to them. That can show what the weak links in a system are. And will allow what is best to shine through. 
IMHO and experience the DI (and I expect the latest Tektons) are one of these rare ones. 

While I would not describe the Legacy as “warm” per se, I would say that it falls on the warm side of neutral. 

If I had the money to spend I would consider going to the DI SE. 

Just my opinion.

@jayctoy , several SS and tube. Krell, emotiva SS, Promaluna Tube, Cambridge Integrated. I'm not saying the tekton's are bad, just not to my liking. all due respect to the OP, I would not recommend either as I went a different route.

I own and LOVE my Legacy Focus HD (the earlier version of SE (2009). I power them with a MAC MC225 and even though it's output is  only 30 watts or so it's PLENTY of power for these efficient Legacys.The Legacy speakers are 4 Ohm. My pre is a MAC MX-110. The bass response is outstanding and I no longer use my 18" Velodyne Sub. BUT.......I would also recommend bi amping using their Power Bloc 2 (SS) for the bass section as it gives one the ability to have extremely dynamic bass output with explosive impacts and clean effortless articulation. The Power Bloc 2 is a Class D amplifier that is designed by Legacy and has very highly regarded B&O ICEpowered modules in a dual mono bloc arrangement within the Power Bloc 2. This configuration results in a really fantastic eye opening sound difference. Can you tell I LOVE my LEGACY's? LOL! I have no experience with the Tekton DI's. Good luck with your audiophile journey.....
 

Ron thanks for your response, I remember when I auditioned Diapason Adamantes And MartinLogan Request about Maybe 20 yrs ago, the salesman both played them with Krelll, sales man likes the Diapason better because of musicality, I like the Logan bec of rock n look, and the grille.I end up buying both...sorry they did not work for you,....

hifial:

I agree with your assessment. If either of the two speakers tends a little (and I mean a very little) towards warm, it would be the Focus. I thought the Tekton to be more neutral also.
