Synergistic Red Fuse ...

Someone earlier said that the correct direction with the SR Blacks is counter to the printing. Has anyone else reached that conclusion?

Mapman, Wolf_garcia, Geoffkait, thank you for your unsoliced opinions.

oregonpapa, I now have the B. M. C. Arcadia speakers with two 11 inch woofers in each speaker. In the past I have tried about eleven different subwoofers including some that were 8 foot tall isobarics. I always had great difficulty blending in the subwoofer with the separate speakers. With the BMCs I have outstanding full range consistency and room shaking bass on organ music bass notes.

Basically, I have given up on subwoofers. I once had two 24" woofers and had to turn them upside down every six months as they sagged. I sold them to a guy who had the same problem, but his solution was to have two sets.

Oh, I meant to say that I agree with you that better bass reflects on better sound throughout.

" Mapman, Wolf_garcia, Geoffkait, thank you for your unsoliced opinions. "

Your welcome.

Who exactly solicited yours then?  How much do they pay?  I could use a few extra bucks.

There was something I wanted to say in my last post.

" I LOVE that 30Hz crossover point."

I crossover at 55 Hz because my main speakers are stand Mounts and only go down to 45 Hz. I wish I had full range speakers so that I could crossover
between 20 and 30Hz.

To which Mapman replied, "Your welcome." (Spell checker autocorrect anomaly noted)

Hey, I’ll take some of that action. My rate is $1 per solicitation. For unsolicited comments 50 cents.

Thanks for your input on the Legacy Signature III's. 

With certain mods, and tube electronics, the Sig III's are a fantastic speaker that performs, at least in my system, way beyond their price point.  

Over the years I've had a multitude of speakers, including huge electrostatic panels Acoustat IV's, Martin Logan's and a variety of conventional speakers as well. So far, the Sig III's are performing better than any of them considering the overall picture. 

On the Legacy Focus's ... I love those speakers and have considered them in the past. I fear they would overdrive my room though. 

I was wondering ... what electronics were you using with the Legacy speakers? All of my friends who have them, including myself, have found that they really come alive with tube amps. We've all bought our Legacy's from guys who were using solid state amps ... and they just couldn't get the speakers to sound right, so they sold them to us. *lol*  I think its an underground secret.  

I have a friend who has a pair of Sig III's in his living room being driven by one of Grover's modified Dyna Stereo 70's, and its pure magic. In fact, it was his demo of those speakers that convinced me to chuck the Martin Logan's and replace them with the Sig III's. He has the Legacy Focus' in his main listening room. Again .... magic. 

At this point in time, if one is patient, the Signature III's can be had on the used market for around $1800 per pair and the Focus 20/20's for around $2500.  This would be for speakers in mint condition. In my opinion, its one of the biggest bargains in audio ... but again ... the only way to fly with these speakers is to use really good tube electronics. 

Hang in there.
