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.

There are a lot of brands that do not get much love here as there are only like 25 people who post here.

Really a small forum. 

I had the opportunity to hear the Focus SE a couple of weeks ago and I really liked them. These were heard with no subs and they still grabbed you by the cajones and didn't let go. Clear, articulate and powerful. 

I heard the Focus Legacy and Signature SE's for a while powered by very good equipment. They were nice, but they are enormous, heavy, speakers. Then, I heard the Apertura Edena speakers. They not only sounded better in various ways than the Legacy, they don't have a giant footprint. 

My worry about Legacy speakers is how impossible they'd be to fit in my space and also, if I wanted to sell them, how hard they'd be to ship.

I almost bought a set to replace my tektons. Thanks vinylvalet. But the tektons were a bit more balanced from top to bottom. Legacy certainly looked nice and I like the speaker. I may yet own a pair someday.

I agree they don’t get the respect they deserve but if you pay attention, 90% of the posts talk about the same speakers which are the trendy speakers of today. If you suggest anything else, you’ll likely get ignored. There is a lot of momentum. Same with DACs for example. Reading here you would think Denafrips was God’s gift to hifi. Although God has now sent Holoaudio.
