Andra II vs. WattPup 7 vs Legacy Focus 20/20


I am at a loss. The upgrade bug has bitten once again but am looking for some feedback. Have listened to the WP 7 and seen all the accolades - just not that impressed with them. Any feedback on the Eggleston Works Andra II's or taking a step down in price - big, the new Legacy Focus 20/20's. Will be driving the new speakers with Pass X600's. Prefer a big open soundstage sound versus strict adherence to accuracy and detail. Thanks

" Will be driving the new speakers with Pass X600's.

The Legacy Focus 20/20 would be a great choice. Dont listen to these Nimnods. With the money you save you can look into upgrading another part of your stream. Too many of these yo yo's base their opinions on a selected demo , not realizing you can make most high end speakers sound like crap or breathtaking depending upon whats driving them in the signal chain. Ive heard B&W 800's sound like crap. Are they crap ? Of course not. The indivudual doing the demo had them severely underpowered.
If the original post said I am looking for the most accurate measured speakers in the world , and someone replied Legacy, and you said that would be a joke, than your point would have validity. But once again the original poster states "Prefer a big open soundstage sound versus strict adherence to accuracy and detail". To call a speaker that is well reviewed and enjoyed by many a joke , is to insult the many in the community that enjoy them . And if all we had to do was "measure electronics" we would never even have to demo them, we could just buy everything sound unheard. If they are not your cup of tea, thats fine. Again, we have to refer to the original post. This boy wants to Rock. He doesnt want no sissy girl speakers.
Actually I own Martin Logans and I love them. But a friend of mine owns the Legacy Focus 20/20 , I have heard many of his jazz and blues recordings and kick drums sounded like kick drums, The midrange sounded excellent {although I felt B&W was a little wider} and the highs were quite nice. Actually this has nothing to do with you or Legacy , But when it comes to speakers , there are probably 20 to 30 manufacturers I could live happily ever after with, but when it comes to front end , pre amplifiers, and Power Amplifiers , the only ones I would consider , I could count with one hand. I just beieve in general people think backwards. It all starts at the front end. The optimum sound potential of most speaker owners is never realized because they spend too much on their speakers and too little on the rest of thier equipment. Just my opinion.
