Legacy focus 20 20 speakers
Doug during your breif review history you keep a majority of what you review, and you love just about everything, you must be a manufacturers wet dream :) 
Legacy focus 20 20 speakers
Ghoepher, looks like the Legacy speakers have not changed all that much from what you describe and my long term experience with the 20/20.........now try the Vandersteen Quatro and see what real bass and a speaker that doesnt bark at you sounds li... 
Which Processors can upgrade Software??
Rotel is done at home with a Zip file, it even comes with the cord, at Anthems prices they should have included them aswell.

The rout is on for Blu-Ray
HDDVD should have won but money talks so back room deals and "Gamers" with the Play Station pushed thru a flawed and rushed techmology.and we are all worse off for it. Anyone who thinks Blue Ray is best simply doesnt understand what is really goin...

What to upgrade in an exsisting HT setup
You dont need HT bypass......yes it does make it a bit simpler but I have a Sonic Frontiers tube pre tied into my HT (Rotel Processor) which has no HT bypass and all I do is place volume at 12 O'clock so I know where my speaker levels match and si...
