I went through the same thing you're doing now. I liked the Legacy monoblocks over the Bryston 7bst's. The Bryston's had great control on the bottom, excellent bass,but they were a tad harsh on the top end. The Legacy's were a little more of what I was looking for. They were a little less harsh on the top but lost a little on the bottom octaves. I tried the Moon's and fell in love with them. They are a little on the warmer side which I feel the Focus need. Good luck in your search. I think you're heading in the right direction. My system really came to life when I started up-grading my electronics.
which amp for legacy focus
i have owned these focus for three years and love them. I am driving them behind a legacy power amp. I am getting to the point where i want to take these speakers to the next level. I am considering a new amp or two. Biamping interests me. I have auditioned a krell ???(250 watts),mcintosh 352,(350 watts)and the bryston 14sbt(500 watts) as singles and a couple of bryston 4sbt's(250 watts each) as duals. As no local dealer has the focus speakers I can not audition on the speakers until purchase. The biamping in theory makes sense I am just not sure if the extra $$$ is worth it. There is approx a $1500 difference bewtween the single amps and the biamps. Any comments and opinions?
