@mikekollar Excellent post, spot on.
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.

I'm actually surprised that so many 'gonrs are exclaiming that these speakers are SO BIG! The best speakers I have heard are almost always quite large. This includes many types. Maybe its a psychological bent that bigger is better, but I don't believe so. I usually listen with my eyes closed anyway. I listened or tried to listen to the Legacy Room at RMAF '19 which I think had the Aleris playing. There were so many listeners that I couldn't wait around, so I never did get to even though I went back several times. @nitrobob mentioned Miller & Kreisel, wow that brought back memories. That sub-woofer satellite system was amazing for it's size. Kicked my butt. Regards, barts |
I had some Focus 20/20 (not SE) a few years ago and really liked them, but they were huge and really too big for my space. They were just a tad on the bright side and a little over the top in the bass department. They were well worth what I paid for a pre-owned pair, but I moved in the direction of smaller speakers and a bit warmer sound (KEF, Harbeth, and Stirling). Besides the fact that they felt out of place due to their size, they just didn't have enough room to "breathe" in my smallish listening space. Too close to the sidewalls and corners. Not the fault of the speakers, just not a good match for my room. |
I think early on I considered legacy a 1 owner with a table saw in his garage and a RadioShack across the street, same as vmps, couldn’t help it. I think legacy has improved their image and are more than a bunch of woofers in a box. Axpona before covid the aeris and valor(I think) sounded amazing and looked impeccable |
