Von Schweikert VR 4 III SE v/s Legacy Focus 2020

Both are excellent speakers, worthy of any fine audiophile system. I now own the VR4 III HSE, and they replaced the Focus (not the 20/20s though).

In summary:
Bass - Better on the VR4s, tighter, less boomy, more punch, easier to control.
Imaging - Both excellent
Highs - Both Excellent
Soundstage - Focus had a taller soundstage, the VR4s have a wider soundstage. Depth was good on both.
Finish - Focus were much nicer
Mids - Both were excellent, VR4s slightly warmer, more natural to me.
Sweet spot - This is probably what did it for me, the VR4s have a better, wider listening angle, the Focus were very narrow (1 person).

As they say, your mileage may vary based on equipment that you're using, but this is what my system produced.

I agree with Mark above and will add that the Focus is a more efficient speaker and will probably go louder. I too settled for the VR's. I found the highs easier on the ears with the VR's. A more musical presentation.

Thanks Byfo & Mark for your much appreciated feedback.

I just had a customer come in to my shop after hearing the 20/20 in the morning. He left with the VR4 III SE and was astounded how much better it was.
