Synergistic Red Fuse ...

" 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.

aolmrd1241 .... 

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. 

Oregonpapa,

I guess my reasoning would be that the more demand SR has, the more they would manufacture at a time.....bringing costs down.

I assume high-end audio works differently from normal retail manufacturing?

If my amp didn't take 7 fuses, I'd be more willing to give them a try.

Cheers!
