Legacy Focus vs Salk HT3

I am a current owner of the Salk HT-3 and a former owner of both the Legacy Focus and Signature. Of the two Legacy models, I much preferred the Signatures. I could never tame the bass of the Focus. I did like the Signature very much. I think it's an excellent speaker for the money.

But the HT-3 is significantly better than either Legacy. Incredible imaging, fantastic tonality, clear without any harshness. Truly disappears. Plays plenty low for normal music. Also looks way better and is more compact. They are the best speaker I've ever owned and I've owned quite a few. Maybe the best I've ever heard. Hope this helps.

My system is music-only, no home theater. I listen to jazz and classical exclusively -- about 70-30 jazz. I listen to a lot of piano music, as well as small-group jazz from the 50's to the present. I don't listen to rock.

The Focus might well be better for rock ansd/or home theater. I would not agree that the Salk is "warmer" than the Focus. If anything, I would say the opposite. The Salks are VERY revealing of good (or bad) recordings or imperfections in your system.
