Hi Everyone,
The Jan 2004 issue of stereophile reviewed the Legacy Focus speaker ($6200 a pair) very favorably. This is a non-horn design utilizing I think 7 (SEVEn) drivers in a 5 way configuration. Apparently sounds awesome...and it's 96db sensitivity.
I was just wondering if anyone has heard a Legacy setup on our NG, sounds like I would love to hear it off against the 104 DB klipschorn, and Wayne's Theater Pis (3 way design!) to see differences.
thanx

I have no chance of hearing such audio...

but 5way = complicated filters and complex phase arrangements.

It must take ALOT of knowledge and thought to sufficiently design it with the right compromises.

The fullranger boys would say 'Bahh! upon hearing the idea of it...

I dont read stereophile,nor any other 'hifi' or 'audiophile' magazines

Cheers!

I know, conventional wisdom says to avoid complication. Of course it depends on the execution of the design. Apparently, the legacy does sound good, based on the review. If there is anyone here who has actually heard apair, and can compare with other speakers they have heard, it would be great!
thanx
