Legacy Focus...why??

I have listened thoroughly to the Focus and quite honestly
found it to be an incredibly bad speaker ( especialy for the money). There are some real champs out there such as the
Dunlavys,Martin Logans, Quads ...It just makes me wonder
why anyone in their right mind would buy a Legacy product.

Who in the high end is really in their right mind - I mean 4k-12k for speakers - Please - you call that in the right mind no matter what brand. I have owned Quad 989, Martin Logan Odyssey, Legacy Whispers, Eggleston Andras, and VMPS RM 40's. No matter how you look at it I am not in my right mind and neither is anyone else who spends that kind of money on anything except cancer research so Brauser forget that comment and add maybe more out of their mind. Focus is used in some studios for recording (most in modified versions) and the company treated me just fine. i still have a pair of Studio Monitors which are one the best small monitors I have ever heard. I still would not spend 6k on Focus in amy mind set.

Ligi; a couple of excellent and informative posts on the Legacy Focus speakers. At one time I had them on my list as a potential upgrade because of their size, appearance, and "apparent" value for money (many drivers)-- but I never did get a chance to hear them. I ended up with Vandersteen 5s and have no regrets, but then the the 5s are near twice the cost of the Focus. I agree too that none of us is really rational when it comes to lusting after multi-kilo-buck stereo equipment;>) Cheers. Craig

Aram; I would just add that while the Paradigm Ref. Studio 100s are nice sounding speakers (I have a nearby Paradigm dealer, so I'm familiar with them), I too don't believe that they are in the same league as many speakers anywhere near the price range of the Legacy Focus. Good Luck. Craig

Thanx a lot for all the responses..
Ljgj , I also heard a lot about VMPS and the RM 40 must be a real good one..I think that is the only one that beats the Focus and it is just for 4600$..very good price and value..I really would like to hear more from you Ljgj about the VMPS's..
To Jond; I also never heard Paradigm before I bought them but I had made an extensive survey on the net and I am very pleased with my choice..Before Paradigm I used to have Jamo 707 and when I started to use the Paradigms I felt how bad the Jamo's were..I mean they were not enough..From Jamo to Paradigm was a big upgrade..
