Legacy Focus SE or PS Audio FR20

@artemus_5 Unfortunately the nearest Legacy dealer is in Springfield, IL almost 4 hours from my home. And PS Audio only sells direct from Denver. If I think the Legacy is what I’m pretty sure I want I’ll make a trip to Springfield. No trips to Denver though - I’d have to order the FR 20s and ship them back if I decide against them. 
 

BTW I don’t have problems with a dealer weighing in provided they identify themselves as such. I figure quality dealers should know their product better than most as well as competitors’ products. They can offer insights and evaluations I might not have thought of or simply didn’t understand. I’ve worked for years with a local dealer and he hasn’t steered me wrong— that said I also bought my first integrated amp - age 18 when I was younger and dumber — from a dealer who insisted I could get FM radio on it! Imagine my surprise at unboxing! As before, thanks everyone for your insights.

My stepfather has the Focus SE in his system, and absolutely loves them.  He has had Vandersteen 3A and Meadowlark Heron speakers, and these were stand above and vastly outperformed on all levels.  Sound staging and delicate details excel in Legacy speakers, but they also have power and control.  Build quality is top notch, same with cross over components. 
Others noted wise thoughts with knowing maybe before hand if you need something as large as Focus SE, where Signature might be perfectly fine for your space.  Or other direction, if something in the XD range would help you.  In my stepfathers space, he absolutely NEEDS something powered-subwoofer related.  I did room frequency measurements and his space is actually TOO big and doesn't resolve/retain bass notes well. 

I have the Legacy Studio HDs and a small sub for my wonky small living room home theater, and man, my listening experience is not real far off from my stepfathers sound.

I own and have used the Legacy Signature SEs for many years now and love them for my room and parity with amp. That said, the Focus SEs definitely breathe easier -- a second midrange driver and 12" vs 10" dual subs assure that. Smaller room, smaller budget, Signatures. Larger room, larger budget, Focus. FWIW.

It’s sad how this should be an advice board but so many come across as there opinions are gospel and badgering. Sure I will get bashed but who cares. Listening is an opinion of one’s ears. It is not ohms law and so many take it that way. If my one hears a cable or speaker better it’s not snake oil it’s what fits there hearing. So disappointed in post I am out. Take care 

@hickamore Thanks to you and others for SE recommendations. I’ll look into those as well. My room is a largest L-shaped basement room but the system and speakers and listening area are in about half of the long side so hard to define “size”. But certainly worth a look at SEs
