Tekton DIs or Legacy Focus SEs?

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.

Vitop please explain how an AMT is softer sounding than a Soft dome tweeter? 

Never heard a soft dome with more resolution then an AMT or a Ribbon in doing this professionally for 30 years.  Even the much vaulted Scanspeak ring radiator tweeter which goes to 40K supposedly doesn not sound like it. 

If that is what you perceive and the Tekton's work more towards your taste that is great. 

Vitop I would say just the oppostie the Tekton's are the warmer of the two with the Legacy's having a bit more detail.

What does neutral mean to you then? A neutral speaker would not be bright or recessed and in that way the Tekton is very well balanced.

If you think I am not blown away by the Tekton's you are incorrect, fantastic product, each of these systems has a sound, perhaps you were listening to the Legacy's with the treble switch in the cut position?

Troy And vtop my humble experience in audio is different system different result, why I would claim the speakers are warm sounding in my system because my system is on the warm side..The most obvious is if I change digital cable the sound change too...why at times there is disagreement on our gear characteristics ...my 0.2 cents

@vitop Really glad that you posted your very detailed comparison of the two speakers. I was hoping you would, since you gave both very serious consideration prior to making a choice. I encourage the OP to reach out to Vitop directly because of this.

I’m with @audiotroy on his take of the AMT vs the upper frequencies of the DI.

Like Vitop, I am a fan of the AMT ribbons and based on my memory (I have not done a head to head comparison with the DIs) I find the AMTs to be ’brighter,’ sweeter, airier, and more extended than the DIs implementation of the tweeter.

To me, the DI’s upper frequencies (being less so than what I mention directly above) are therefore closer to neutral, BUT given the differential, I would also describe them as ’warmer’ THAN vs the AMT ribbon (at least the implementations I’ve heard). Therefore, I can understand why Dave describes the DIs as being ’warmer.’ To me this is actually a compliment.

I think Eric’s design makes for a much tougher separation between the mids and the high frequencies because of his tweeter array...which is a really, really, really, really good thing. : )
