Anyone own or auditioned speakers by Legacy?

Does anyone have some first hand experience with any of the Legacy models? The Focus or signature 3's in particular.
I would be using with good quality amp either something from Legacy,Pass labs or Classe. Also a decent quality source: Cal Alpha Sigma combo or MSB link Dac 3 or possibly one of the new format players. Used for listening to various types of music mostly in the Jazz/Rock/Pop and some classical. My listening space is very open aprx 20' by 30'.
Cheers.

You might want to read the following on Audiogon, (I think it was titled Has anyone heard Legacy speakers); http://audiogo5.iserver.net/cgi-bin/fr.pl?cspkr&991177032&read
It should be loaded with information.

I have heard Focus, Whisper, classic, and I own the powered impact s/woofer.. Great sound and value, all. Can't be approached for the price. Room matching for the larger models is important, as you can overdrive the room with all that woofer area and load it up with too much bass. The word is that in normal sized rooms, the Sig 3s are the most accurate. Good luck!

Take Lak's advice and read that thread. It covers a LOT of ground. Given the description of your "very open" and "big" room, i would think that the Focus would be more suitable of the two mentioned. I personally think that the Signature III's are better speakers in a "normal" sized room. I also agree that the Studio's are a good buy for the money compared to other similar models on the market.
