I have previously owned a pair of the pre 20/20 Focus and had no trouble getting bass extension well into the low 20's in my room. I thought their spec extension of 16 hz was optimistic but never found the bass extension lacking below 30 hz. I have not heard of other owners experiencing this either. I am wondering if the lack of bass occurs throughout the room or is just at the listening position. It seems as if speaker/listener position is causing part of the problem due to room modes. Have you tried moving the speakers and or your listening position? Six inches of movement can make all the difference with room modes. Also, tell us more about your room, set up, and amplification being used with the Focus.
Anyone here tweak any Legacy Focus speakers?
I have a pair of the 1999 Legacy focus speakers with the older midranges and the 3-12" drivers per cabinet. The new speakers (so I am told) have a new crossover and new mids and of course 2-12" woofers per cabinet.
During my listening I am happy with the level of bass but not the bottom extension. When I play CD tracks I am only getting good output down to 30hz. I would like to change out the woofers for something that would drop in but perhaps offer lower bass output say 25hz or less. With the large cabinets 55" tall I would think they are big enough to house most any woofers.
Have any of you changed out woofers or mid range drivers to get better sound out of the Original Focus to get them up to par with the newer 20-20 or HD models?
