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?

I have changed out my Focus domes to a scan speak dome D2905/9900 The mids to Eton 7-300 and the sub woofers to CSS Trio 12's
I left the 12" woofer in place which is the transition driver and the ribbon tweeter due to the smoothness of those drivers. The woofers I put in are much quicker and have more punch. I also lined the lower chamber side walls with backhole which takes away from any cabinet problems. The crossover and internal speaker wires will be upgraded next but these speaker drivers all fit in no change in the openings of the cabinets. This is not truely the same speaker due to cost cost considerations Legacy made for price point. Do not let others discourage you it is a individual journey. Magic is in the listening.

Good Luck,
