Has anyone listened to Legacy speakers?

Yes the Legacy's have really improved. Mr. Duddleston's work with the Xilica crossover is a game changer. Whisper, Helix, and the new Aeris, don't ave to apologize to anyone.

I couldn"t agree more with Sgr.& ,Cutler.
Bill Duddleston is a true visionary and what you listen to now will no doubt be different in two years down the road.
Anyone who thinks room correction is fad is only kidding themselves.
I have said this before and can't stress enough on the importance of having the speakers dialled to the room by a qualified tech.
Yes you can attempt it and Legacy will help get you there but the anguish is not worth the effort.
The techs do this on regular basis compared to the audiophile doing it once maybe twice.
I like the car analogy.... who would even attempt doing a tuneup on current model car without the proper engine analysis equipment?
IMHO room correction is no different.
How many cars are not using sophisticated electronic controls?None
As for tubes been there done that and not going back having had the pleasure of experiencing Coda's new 7X.
Pound for pound dollar for dollar there simply aren't many better values than lLegacy period!

Tobb: You could not be more right about your last statement regarding the pound for pound and dollar for dollar analogy on Legacy speakers and what Bill D. brings to the table for all of us who truly love listening to musical and exciting speakers. I've owned several generations of Legacy speakers since 2006 for 7.1 and 5.1 home theater + 2-channel and since moving to pure 2-channel in 2008-2009, I have centered my entire system on Focus HDs followed by my current Focus SEs that I've had since March 2010. With proper speaker, interconnect and power cables on my system, I have been able to extract sound out of my Focus SEs that vastly exceeds any expectations I could have had and also eclipses many more vaunted and expensive speakers and setups i have heard in various venues over the last 7 years. The entire line of speakers is special in what they deliver and the value that comes with Legacy's realistic pricing. As of the last 6 months or so I've had the good fortune to spend 4 listening sessions with the new Aeris, 2 with the latest Whispers and 1 with Helix. I am now contemplating my next multi-year speaker and it is looking to be AERIS (or the potential for Whisper with integrated subs) so the fun continues!

Zeph are you interested in a a pair of Helix?

No I am not but thank you for asking...I think I know the pair you may be offering and believe they are the pair I heard in STL(?). Regardless, I loved how they sounded and what they did but I do not want to embark on a path that commits me to all that additional speaker weight (have to reinforce floor joists in 2nd floor listening room for best effect with a speaker of that mass) and 6 channels of amplification plus subs to give them a proper home. Thank you for offering....
