Silverline Sonata III or Legacy Focus 20/20?

All I can say is that i own the Sonata IIIs and find them much more detailed, better high frequency definition than the Focus 20/20s. The Sonatas are great for producing string instruments so life like. On the other hand, the Focus 20/20s I found played louder with much more bass energy. The Sonatas had more of a delicate cue. Great for jazz music but not too good on heavy rock and roll. Where I find the Focus 20/20s might be a little better on the heavy rock and roll music. I hope this helps your decision.

My father majored in the Pipe Organ and studied/performed for over 10 yrs and has about 9000 tittles on CD and Vinyl
I only qualify this because he uses and loves the Focus 20/20. Also I spend alot of time hanging out and listening with him and it is always a very pleasing experience, great build quality, very efficient and great bass, liquid mid and clear defined highs are always a given with Legacy.

the focus 20/20's are great,very enjoyable. Here is a cool tweak to try, may or may not like it. Tilt them forward a little so that the tweeter hits you at ear level where you are sitting(tweeters are pretty high on the speakers). If you have a high chair, you may not tilt them much or at all. I found it greatly improves the imaging,soundstaging,etc. However maybe, a touch bright.....maybe.I do have my back to the wall in my setup right now, so it could be very accurate and the touch of brightness is my rear wall(couch pulled out 6 inches).Id love to see the focus made like the whispers, 1 12" on bottom, 1 on top, and the tweeters and mids dead center. You would loose a little height sounstage possibly, but Id like to hear it out of curiousity.
