Legacy Audio Focus SE compared to the Legacy Aeris Speakers


I am looking for owner opinions of the Legacy Audio Focus SE speakers compared to the Legacy Aeris speakers from a sound quality perspective.  I am considering either of the 2, but have to wait another 5 weeks until a new local dealer will have their showroom ready for display.

I have heard both the Focus and the Aeris as well as the Tekton Double Impact.

The Focus compares to the Tekton DI, IMO. The Aeris is on another level. It is a special speaker. The Tekton Ulfberht is also supposed to be a special speaker for less money, but I have not heard it.

The Aeris has an open plenum for the highs and mids so even though I have not heard the Ulfs, I would have a hard time believing they could compete with the openness.

I really think you need to listen to them all yourself.
Vpm we finally got our Aeris and as stated they really are in a different league from the Focus or Signatures.

The arent just a bit better they are truly world class from increased low bass, greater speed, a more open & lucid midrange, to increased articulation even in the upper midrange and treble.

I have heard many of the $60k and above speakers and very few are better.

When you add in room correction, a dac and preamp, just add a set of cables and a transport and you are all set try that with any other system.

The only problem with Legacy is that not enough people really know just how good they are,

We are proud to add the Aeris to our stable of reference audio gear.

I agree Audiotroy. I think the Aeris is better than any of the uber-expensive Wilsons I have heard. And I really like the Wilsons.

Yes, those Aeris mid-woofers are light and FAST.  That is some light material. 
I currently use the Signature SE’s, which with my Luxman M800a, Esoteric K-03x and Coda 07x, provide the best sound I’ve ever had in my home. The Signatures flat out, out perform many companies flagship speakers, and I’ve heard many of them i.e. B&W 800D3, Revel Salon, etc... I’m getting a pair of the Aeris later this spring. Audio review veteran and one of the most respected reviewers in Audio, Anthony Cordesman said the Aeris, along with the Wavelet processor that comes with it, provided him with the most realistic sound he’s ever heard and uses a pair as one of his references.  Legacy’s price/performance ratio is something brand new in all of high-end audio and veritable gift to those want some of the best available sound at a real world price and produced 100% in the USA. It’s really remarkable, and speaks directly to the quality of charactor of their owner and Chief Engineer, Bill Dudleston.  Their multi driver integration and movement of massive amounts of air philosophy, provides the lowest distortion, crystal clear sound and low frequency dynamic capabilities that I’ve heard.  That is all, carry on...
