Legacy Focus HDs

Glad to see you took the plunge. If you are impressed now, wait until you burn them in about 300 hours. You'll be amazed at how they mature and how everything gets even better. They are an entirely different speaker in terms of bass attack and decay (and transients), imaging, musicality, etc.....

You'll be very happy with what happens with this speaker at the 100, 200, 250+ burn-in marks. What speakers did you have before? I had the Focus 20/20's and was extremely happy with them overall; the HDs are a world apart (better) in terms of every aspect of their performance. I still have them and will not be selling or replacing them!

Steve,....glad to hear that! These speakers continue to make me very happy with all types of music.

Hifiman, Steve, et al: How many feet apart, how many feet from back wall, and how much toe-in did you find works well for your rooms? I am considering experimenting again with speaker placement and was curious as to your setup...

Steve: Thanks for the info on your room setup and for measuring your speaker distances, toe-in, etc...please let us know what you have.

Doug: Thanks for the early opinion on the SE speaker. I look forward to your revised Dagogo supplement on the SE. Let us know when you post it....

Steve: If you are able, try to pull them out from the back wall 3-5 feet. Depending upon your room, you may find what I did that this improves the sound stage in all dimensions and deepens/sharpens the bass, etc...In short, these speakers love breathing room. FYI, toe-in is usually measured albeit informally, in degrees...According to various people I've talked to and my own results, a good toe-in is approximately having the super-tweeters aimed at a spot directly behind the listening position though I'm not sure this is the only way to set them up so they sound great. This arrangement works well for me here but results may vary depending upon your room, imaging and staging preferences, etc....

Could be your room and what works best. Having them angled to L and R of your chair does aim the speakers approximately where I was referring to (behind the listening position) but at an angle that works great for your location.
