Experience w/ Legacy Audio Speakers Focus 20/20

I've read some posts here and @ the asylum regarding Legacy Audio. I have a pair @ home for a demo and I'm very impressed with what I've heard so far; but I wanted to see if anyone has long term experience with them... in particular, the Focus 20/20.

I'm driving them w/ a CJ Premier 11A and, due to their incredible efficiency (96dB), it does a nice job. I'm curious if anyone has any suggestions regarding horizontally bi-amping with a Premier 11 driving the high/mids and (*insert amp here*) driving the lows. Any input is greatly appreciated.

I purchased these Legacy Focus 20/20 in Jan-2003.Buy far it is the best speaker that I ever owned in 20 years. I have owned B/W 801-802,Klipsch Cornwall-BellekhornSnell C/V,Inifinity Kappa 9, Carver ribbons,Paradigm 100-40-20,
PSB Gold,Mirage OM7-OMC2-OMR2,Bose 901 and much more.I have invited some of my Audio buddys over to listen to these Legacy Focus 20/20,and they were all amazed buy the sound.A few of them are selling off there system just so they can buy a pair of these 20/20's. Yes they are expensive,but it is the best speaker that I have every owned.I will be happy with these for a very LONG TIME!!!!!

I compared the Legacy Classics to the Paradigm Studio Reference 100 when I was buying speakers. In my opinion, the Classics gave the Paradigms a whupping. The sound was better, more relaxed, the bass was better and the integration of the drivers was better. In addition the cabinet is a hell of a lot more attractive. I can only imagine the mismatch is way moe evident with the Focus.
