A few years back I had the opportunity to hear the Legacy's in Casselberry Florida (Bob Howard). Unfortunately the set-up was less than ideal. Low ceiling several columns and less than ideal positioning. I listened to both the Classics which I had read so much about for all these years and the Focus. He didn't have the Whispers there but at his home and I wasn't really interested in the Signatures because Bob really didn't seem too interested.
The Classics seemed ok but in that room how can you know. Imagine columns between the speakers and the listening position. What I was struck by and what Dds hifi noted was the midrange clarity on the Focus. Here you have this big system with what is it 6 or 7 drivers delivering very delicate subtle midrange clarity, very nice. Of course Bob had to crank it up so I could feel the bass but I got lost in the boom. He should have asked me first, I wasn't impressed. Maybe in a bigger room it might be ok. The Focus, a very nice midrange and that was my lasting impression.
