I am a Legacy Focus XD owner. So, without getting to much into the "no Love" aspect of this thread, I will just say this: As to footprint and weight. To me, a non issue. I mean what is another 2 or 3 inches wide and 3 to 4 inches deeper in a 17 X 20 room for instance. And as to weight.... well if it ends up being the speaker of choice then placing it once and leaving it there for 5, 10 15 years or more, who cares. I think this may have to do with getting ones head wrapped around the physical size change from the previous speaker. I owned a pair of B and W 702 s2 speakers after reviewing them in my own room against the Ascend Sierra towers (nice speakers also) about 3 -4 years into those and I was ready to upgrade. Unlike others, I found plenty of reviews of the Legact Focus. They were all positive and more than a few had them as completely over the top great. It is true, very few retailers. In Washington state, one dealer and nothing ever in stock. Then one day, I found out they had the signature SE on the floor and I drove 45 minutes to audition them. For about an hour with my own music I was able to hear them. Fell in love with them and this store had plenty to listen to. So I had made my decision and a few weeks later, a pair of the big brothers to the signature came on the market at a great price and one quick sale of the B and W's later, the Focus XD was on its way to my room. At first, yes, they look big and takes a bit to get used to, about a week and then all of a sudden, they really dont look that big anymore. About the sound..... All I can say is wow!!! When we got them all hooked up and put on that first piece, it ended and my son and I just stared at each other and started laughing. They are just that good. I an 2 years into them now and happy as a clam. The tweeters on these are incredible and the detail is stunning. Great controlled base and just an experience that is a show stopper whenever someone new comes over to listen. Very happy and when I am ready (which means 5 to 10 years when i have nothing better to do, will probably order the Legacy Aeris, just because..... I can.
No love for Legacy Audio
Hello all. I have been on a few discussions here and read many more. I have not seen many of the posters here talk much about Legacy Audio speakers. I am referring to the Signature SE model and the Focus SE model. I am curious why people don’t seem to like them as much as several other brands that get talked about much more here. What is it you like better about the ones you are consistently raving about. Thank you.
