I recently purchased a pair of Focus SE. I auditioned the Signature and SE and although the Signature is a terrific speaker, I thought the additional mid range driver in the Focus SE brought a little more to the table. I was concerned with speaker height but after getting them home and letting them settle in, the height is not an issue, they have a small footprint and they integrate well into my living room. I'm powering my Focus SE with a McIntosh C2600 tube preamp and a McIntosh MC 462 solid state amp. I would agree with the comments previously that these speakers will sound great with almost any amp. I have 40 wpc tube monoblocks and also 90 wpc Class A tube monoblocks which I will also try. These are terrific speakers and I find them to be relatively neutral, nice detail, great bass and non-fatiguing. I listen to a variety of music and they play it all well. My room is 20'-6" L x 13'-6" W with a 8' - 11' vaulted ceiling. I sit about 10' from the face of the speakers. My speakers are 8'-2" on center along the long wall and the back of the speaker is 18" from the wall behind them. They are slightly toed in. They do take a little while to break in and I prefer them bi-wired. If you have a much smaller room, you might consider the Signatures due to potential bass overload from the Focus SE dual woofers
Legacy Audio Focus SE and rivals
I am Interested at Legacy Audio Focus SE - their natural look Is exceptional, they are very efficient, got 2 x 12 Inch woofers which cut off low end at 18 Hz at - 2 dB , curious about HF end where cut off Is 30 kHz
I would like to ask you - are they neutral sound speaker, are they sensitive to closer to wall placing
are there any better alternative at that price
