Legacy Audio Focus XD - Gain Matching Issue between the internal and external amp?


The Focus XD has an internal amp (ICEpower).  So if I drive the mid and high with an external amp of my choice and drive the dual 12" woofers with XD's internal amps, would I run into gain matching issue between the internal amp and the external amp?  Legacy Audio said the Focus XD is a standalone speakers that don't require their processors such as the Wavelaunch or Wavelet.

I know one can with the Aeris and above, I don’t see why the Focus would be left out… I bet there would be a fee for this. Yes the powered version…

"I believe you can order them with the function of disengaging the internal ice amps and use your own amp… "

I am fully aware of the difference between the SE and XD. So my point was if the purchaser wants the amp  disengaged wouldn’t the SE be same thing? One can also bi amp the XD with an external amp and use the internal amp for the bass. (This will be my intention when i get my XD’s)

I misunderstood what you were asking. Purchasing the XD and bypassing the internal amp would certainly seem to defeat the purpose. The only other difference would be that the Focus SE and XD use different midbass drivers.
