Legacy focus 20 20 speakers

When I worked there they used 12awg zipcord for internal wiring and not high quil. x-over parts, and no driver matching (but did start that when Allen Organ bought them, who in just in the last year or two sold the company back to Bill). I'm not sure if things have changed, my guess would be no but that is just a guess. I had a pair of Dynaudio when I worked there and didn't change that.

Their explanation of the process is accurate with the expectation of taking turns off of inductors. I did that process at Allen Organ in 1999 using an RTA and my ear to adjust loudspeaker pairs so that there response was similar. If you open up a pair of legacy's you will most likely see that the parts on each crossover are not exactly the same. This is the only loudspeaker mfg. I have worked for so I don't know if the practice is common but any loudspeaker that I have owned and opened up I don’t see this. If you take the time to closely match the crossovers and drivers you eliminate the necessity for this step. What happens though when you closely match drivers is your rejection rate goes up, in think Dunlavy’s was above 50%, this increases costs etc. Logically the closer matched your drivers are the better off you are.

Hey Doug,

If you have the speaker there open it up, maybe they have changed since I worked there 7 years ago..

Even including my experience with the speakers which may have been changed, the Legacy's would be a big step up. They are pretty easy to drive, your amp should do fine; a couple of guys who worked in Springfield drove theirs receivers. Hopefully Doug will get back to us as if the internal build has changed it would be good to know.

I agree with Chadnliz, that sounds about right...
