Yes, they're an excellent speaker. I have quite a large room, which is a plus with the focus. If one doesn't have that much space to position these speakers correctly, then maybe something else would be in order. The Focus are a large speaker. The build quality of my focus are excellent, although the plastic feet are puzzeling. The bass extention is fantastic. Qite a few other speakers out there would require a sub woofer to get the same bass response you get from the Focus. My Focus cost me $2350.00 used, and you would be very hard pressed to find another speaker at that price to match the Focus. Everybody has their own tastes as to what they like in a speaker. For build quality, sound reproduction, aesthetics, and value, I personaly feel that the Legacy Focus are in the same league with any other of the high-end speaker manufacturers, bar none. However, what it all comes down to is what you like in a speaker. My wife and I like loud rock music mostly and the Focus do that well. Let your own ears be the judge, not someone elses. Just because one person likes liver and onions doesn't mean that you will (we all have different tastes).
