Legacy Audio

Does anyone have any impressions of the speakers from Legacy Audio?

I want to purchase a set of two front speakers for stereo music listening only. I listen to a wide range of music types but lately have been on a classic rock kick. However my classical and opera library has to sound good also.

I am concerned with two things - first and foremost sound quality. Second, the speakers need to look nice as they will be going in an area that my wife wants to "look nice". A friend suggested I look into Legacy Audio.

I've only seen their web site and have not had a chance to actually hear their speakers, but I have to admit the web site is impressive. My budget can accomodate up to the FOCUS 20/20 speakers they have, but I would be interested in trying out some of the lower end ones as I'm not sure if my ears will detect the difference - hopefully I can get to one of their dealers one of these days to listen.

Any impressions would be greatly appreciated. Also, if anyone has any other suggestions for my needs, that would also be very useful.

Regards,
Peter

Legacy makes some great speakers. I used to own 5 of the Studios and was very happy (I gave 3 of them to my brother in law who enjoys them, and sold the others).

Legacy's tower speakers are also superb in my opinion. The Signature IIIs mentioned earlier may be their best value in the line, but the Focus are superb speakers too for the money (and outright).

If you have a medium sized room to even a room on the largish side, then the Sigs may be just what you are looking for. If your room is very large, then the Focus should be ideal. They need a lot of space to sound their best.

In any case, I don't think you will be dissatisfied with Legacy Audio, especially at some of the used prices out there nowadays.
