Legacy Focus SE or PS Audio FR20


My custom-made speakers have served me well for 40 years (including several upgrades) but given technological advancement I’m beginning to evaluate new speakers. Top of my list so far are Legacy Focus SE and PS Audio FR 20 - both of which I was able to hear at Axpona. Both are at or above my price range so I’m looking for insights from users on these or other suggestions at or below the price range. Listening habits are 60% rock/alternative, 20% folk, 20% jazz. Integrated amp is 175 watt Plinius 8200, TT is Sota Nova with older model Origin Live Silver tonearm and Grado Reference 3 cartridge. I do have some high-end hearing loss so I’m trying to factor that in as well. Any help appreciated, thanks!

I don't see anything wrong with the @audiotroy post. It's on topic. The dealer disclaimer is present and the comparative details listed appear clearly stated, although the claim of PS Audio cabinet build location should be confirmed. 

 I have no problem with audiotroy either. He always offers the disclaimer of being a dealer along with a concise explanation of his preference .   A person asks about a certain product, and he lets them know that he is a dealer for such.  No biggie to me. We can figure things out from there...

Per the designer and Paul himself, the cabinets are sourced from China.  The same shop that makes them for various other well known brands.

To the OP, its confusing to some degree, and you did report already listening to both sets of speakers at Axpona, so are you looking for something else then?

More important imo would be hearing both speakers with your Plinius 8200 before spending up on either of these or something close. Speaker-amp matching matters too, fwiw.
