Has anyone listened to Legacy speakers?


I have seen several ads. and read bits and pieces of info. from Legacy. However, being in the military I haven't had the chance to make it to a show to listen to these speakers. I would like to hear your comments, good or bad. I believe my ears will make the final determination, but are they worth giving a listen? Thanks.

fOCUS 20/20'S are the best speakers Ive ever owned. Beat my Martin Logans Ascent i's in almost every area, including most important, musicality and musical enjoyment!

I listen to jazz on my focus 20/20's, when I said Legacys rock, I was using the meaning, they are awesome.

I am a proffesional saxophone player, and love great music, old jazz, modern jazz, R&B, blues, funk, you name it. I also love to hear ballads.

At least in my setup, my focus 20/20's make beautiful music. I actually find them to be specially good at smooth jazz recordings. Modern recordings sound rediculous, while even bad recordings arent to bad. I for one feel the opposite then some on here. A expensive speaker should make all music sound its best, not just good recordings. Ive owned these types of speakers, and I just dont get why anyone would only want to get good sound out of 5% of there collection. I also actually find my 20/20's to sound better with good recordings then every other speaker Ive owned besides maybe, and I stress maybe, the martin logan ascent i's I had. But without a sub, the legacys still destroy the ascent i's even with good recordings. (The logans sounded horrible with bad recordings and have terrible bass output, that also seams to have a little phase issue's.)

On top of everything, the focus 20/20's have been easy to place in 3 different rooms so far. My Logan Ascent i's would have taken forver, and no matter where they were placed there was always one area that was weak.
