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!

@jayctoy  the only thing that scares me about the Elac Adante is I think my tube amp may have a problem driving them as they are 4 ohm and a pretty low sensitivity

I used to own a pair of the first version of the Focus SE.  They are absolutely the best speakers I have ever owned.  Absolutely incredible!  When I had them I was using a Modwright KWI 200 integrated amp.  It was a wonderful, full, smooth sounding setup.  You have no idea how much I wish I still had that setup.  Anyway...

I'd love to hear the Double Impacts!  I'm going to be attending Axpona next year but from what I know Tekton will not be at the show.  There is a dealer in the Chicago area so I'm going to contact them to arrange a listening session while in town for Axpona.

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