Tekton DIs or Legacy Focus SEs?


I saw on the forum the huge discussion of the Tekton DI speakers after I had been looking at them and the Legacy Focus SEs. I have upgraded my components to many Agoner's advice and I'm now running a Parasound Halo A-21 with a Mac C48 pre, all pushing B&W 802 Matrix 3 speakers. While I love my 802s, I'm frustrated with the lack of rock performance they produce, Jazz is definitely more their forte! Can any of you Agoners who've heard or owned both help me with this dilemma so I can push the button on one of these obviously awesome speakers???Thanx!

Concerning the Legacy Signature SE: It is a sealed enclosure whereas the Focus SE is a rear ported design which I most definitely prefer.

Hi guys

I’m a newbie here, 1st post. I’m from Ohio. Very interesting site you have here. Currently own a complete Ascend System...All Raal,... Towers, Horizon Center, Sierra 2’s. Also have (2) PSA 1801 18 inch Subs.. Power is a ATI 6005 Signature Series with a Marantz 8801 and an Oppo 203 ...I’m looking to upgrade and take the 2 Towers upstairs in a little system I’m putting together for my wife. So I’m looking for speakers.. We tend to listen to a lot of video concerts . Ya know, invite a few folks over, open a few beers/drinks and watch a concert... At spirited levels . 110-112 ish dBs from that 9.5 Listening Position.. 24 x 16 Room with 8 1/2 foot ceilings....Listen in 5.2 mode.. Mostly old rock and roll. ...Eagles,Pretenders, Floyd... etc....My son is in a band, and they just cut an album, so some of that stuff will show up also... His "music" is metal...with screaming ..LOL .. hope he don’t read this . Are these Double Impacts a good choice for this? Will they take being pounded on...so to speak . I have been reading their musical with lots of impact... Perfect sounding so far ... .. Should I go with the 4 Ohm option? Still be enough headroom left with the ATI if I do ?



Nitrobob, can't answer all your questions but Eric recommends the 4 ohm version. I would call and discuss it with him if you have concerns about that.
