Comparing Legacy Focus snd PS Audio FR20

Thinking about upgrading my speakers and so far the two models at the top of my list are FR20 from PS Audio and Legacy Audio Focus SE. Monitor Audio Platinum 300 3G also though it’s a bit out of my targeted price point. Haven’t had a chance to audition any of them but hope to at Axpona in April. Just wondering how people feel about both speakers and how they compare. Neither available for listening near me … any insights appreciated. Thanks

You didn't say what amp you are planning to use.  I have long oogled the Legacy Focus SE with it's high sensitivity as a great candidate to pair with a 300b or similar SET.  

The PSAudio at 87 dB needs much more power and to get class A power to it will make a lot of heat in your room.  

So you can see my preferenc.

On the amp....you have plenty of power for either speaker but the Legacy you will be listening to at much less that 1 wpc.  So make sure your amp performs well at less than 1 watt.
