Comparing Legacy Focus snd PS Audio FR20

Thinking about upgrading my speakers and so far the two models at the top of my list are FR20 from PS Audio and Legacy Audio Focus SE. Monitor Audio Platinum 300 3G also though it’s a bit out of my targeted price point. Haven’t had a chance to audition any of them but hope to at Axpona in April. Just wondering how people feel about both speakers and how they compare. Neither available for listening near me … any insights appreciated. Thanks

op you are looking at two different price ranges the Legacy’s focus are much less expensive 12400 then the ps audio loudspeakers 20k.

if you are looking at a flagship loudspeaker look at a legacy aeris 25k

the aeris offers features that few loudspeakers can match the aeris comes with a separate electronic crossover,dac, preamp,and room correction processor and the Aeris has built.in bass amplification and only requires an amplifier for the high and midrange drivers.

with their unusual trade in program, the PS may be much less expensive than their $18.999 list price...they are superb...

Legacy Audio has a longer history of designing speakers. PS Audio is fairly new to it. 

The Legacy Aeris, as @audiotroy indicated, seems like it has the recipe for a good thing going, i.e., to marry it better to a room, etc.

You didn't say what amp you are planning to use.  I have long oogled the Legacy Focus SE with it's high sensitivity as a great candidate to pair with a 300b or similar SET.  

The PSAudio at 87 dB needs much more power and to get class A power to it will make a lot of heat in your room.  

So you can see my preferenc.
