I heard a pair of Legacy Focus SE a few years back when I was checking out various brands for speakers. I thought they sounded OK, until I stood up from the listening chair and the tweeters disappeared. Sat back down and there they were again. The tiny sweet spot knocked them out of consideration before I even started thinking much about any other qualities. I actually thought their Classic speaker was better, although not big enough for my room.
Re: moderator scrutiny, I've been there for a year now. The comments that I tried to make were admittedly more abrasive than anything Charles said in that other thread (I think I tried to tell someone that he must have come home from third grade early one day and caught his mother having sex on the couch with the speaker for him to hate it so much). I'm frankly surprised that anyone would turn him in for anything he said there. And I would hope the reporting party also turned in the guy who basically said only tin-eared ignorant morons don't like one of the speakers being discussed, but I'm guessing this is a case of whose ox got gored, not a matter of increasing civility in discussions.
There are people who don't like my speakers either. I may not agree with their characterizations of how they sound and may occasionally dispute those characterizations, but in the end I built my system to please ME, not someone on the internet I've never met - or for that matter even my best friends. People are far too quick to assume the victim mantle these days.
