No love for Legacy Audio

One other comment. The French speakers that are mentioned above are roughly $16300 which is not too short of double the price for the signatures. I would think they should sound at least somewhat better. 

twoleftears honestly this is pretty much the only forum I have paid much attention to so I can’t say about other forums. It simply occurred to me that Legacy is not as popular as SF or Magico or several others on this forum and I wondered why. Really I am wanting to get a better feel from other people who have heard these other speakers so that I can make more educated decisions if and when I upgraded. That’s really my only agenda. 

Ozzy how long ago did you own the Focus?

I am driving my signature se with parasound a21+ for LF and Rouge ST100 Dark for the HF with a Don Sachs 2 preamp. I think they sound exceptional in my 21x17x8 room. I think I mentioned in earlier post that I could not imagine a 9k per pair sounding better in my environment. Soundstage, separation of instruments, clarity - basically all the characteristics I enjoy the most are all there. They are fairly large but I did not think too much so. I traded a pair of Polk Legend 600 which is the second best speaker I have owned. So, my experience level is nowhere near most that post on this forum but I liked the polks a lot and the Legacy’s even more. Someday maybe I’ll be fortunate enough to hear some of the other high enders that I hear about but until then the Legacy’s will stay put. By the way, I have heard some Focal floorstanders, Martin Logan 60xti, Goldenear and a couple others so I’m not totally in the dark. I also plan to attend Axpona so hopefully I can hear some other very good ones there. 
 

Interesting comments. Seems like I may be late to the this forum party as it appears its heyday is in the past. Unfortunately. 
soix I think Feinstein wrote a very nice review on the signature. He said they were the finest sounding speaker that ever graced his sound room. For what it’s worth and I think I got the right reviewer. 
Also I do own a pair of the signatures. And that is a lot of my reason for this post. I don’t have a huge room for my gear and I never thought their footprint was over the top. They are 109 lbs each. But there are other speakers out there that approach and even exceed their size. I guess I am a little surprised that many of you commented more about their size than about their sound. Like I said. Interesting. 

Ok my bad. The French speakers are not 16k. They are about the same as signatures. Sorry. 

Well, fsonicsmith, it’s obvious that I have totally misunderstood the purpose of this forum. I thought it actually was a place I could go for opinions about equipment and things I don’t know as much about. I apologize for being so naïve. You know a lot of people here talk about getting run off for one reason or another. You can add pathetic questions and comments as yet another. 

Honestly I have not seen a vast amount of posts on Legacy speakers. I really was fishing for why people liked what they had better than Legacy. I feel like I have seen vast numbers of posts on about 5-7 other speaker brands but very few on Legacy. So I probably led in a not great way but my intentions were not sinister or intended to be any more than just curiosity and a desire to learn about other products. That’s it. 

They are currently located in Springfield IL which is where I heard them a few months ago. I was able to take a tour of their plant and see the drivers and different stages of the cabinet production. Pretty interesting.
