Speakers to hang on to for LIFE

I have a pair of Legacy Focus. I was so comfortable with them that befor I knew it 14 years had passed! I still love them, but, as I thought it, I didn't want to completely live-in the past. I needed to know that I was still reasonably technology current. I upgraded to my ears and pocket book max and now own Coincident PR's. And I am thrilled I did the upgrade, but a little saddened to finally realize that I was really too comfortable, the music was always the same. Nothing to get really excited about. And I am a vinyl guy with 4K albums. Now, I really have to admit I get excited every time I power the amps up. And of course the bottom line is the Focus must go to a new home. Problem is, what is a fair price? The Focus are still great speakers they only need a new owner!

I have a pair of Snell EIIs which I bought with the money I made working at a stereo outlet store the summer before college. They are the first thing I bought with money I earned and I still have them. They have been with me through college parties, across the country 1 1/2 times and in several situations, most recently in my home theatre system.

I have been meaning to sell them, even had them listed on craigslist for a while. But I am finding it hard to let go of them. I recently hooked them up to my 2 channel system, and they sounded great. They have a certain energy, and ease that I have really missed with my recent bookshelf based systems. Maybe part of it is familiarity - I grew up with these.

I've since learned that they are still highly regarded, and a good enough design for Audio Note to base it's AN-E very closely on. The EIII seems to be more discussed, but I've learned a lot of people, including AN's Peter Qvotrup
feel the II, Peter Snells last design is superior.

I am thinking of setting these up in a dedicated system although I'll have to remodel my house to do it :). I'm interested to see how they perform set up properly, on stands to help the midrange coloration. I'm also going to check out the AN-E as a possible upgrade :)

Bought a pair of JR 149's in the summer of 1977 and I recently got them back to their original home..great speaker based on the LS3/5A concept...always loved them...For the past 5 years I've owned Merlin TSM MMs and just moved that pair to the analog room and added a newer pair of TSM MXEs into the main system...guess I liked the original TSMs so much that I wanted a newer pair..Velodyne DD15 fills in the low bass with the MXE system...PSB woofy in the MM setup...it's all good and clean fun

rockports...anything that you can afford.

they do nothing wrong (ie no sins of commission). where they may make mistakes is in sins of omission (high frequency extension, 20hz rumbles ,etc).

well worth the effort to check out.

Anything made by John Fuselier. I own a protoype speaker calles the Darth Vader they are to die for.
