Legacy Audio FOCUS

restanim

Well, I after a year of owning my SRS 1.2TL's along with my Legacy Audio FOCUS, I have decided to sell my FOCUS. I offer to you fellow Polkies the critically acclaimed Legacy Audio FOCUS. The finish is Black Oak. They are in near new condition, no marks or scratches and the grills are perfect. Because of their size and weight, local pick-up is recommended. I still have the original cartons. They operate as if they were new. Original price was $5200. As you can see by the pictures, the finish is flawless. All sufaces look the same as the ones in the pictures. More pictures are available on request. Please tell your family and fellow audiophiles about these wonderful speakers.

The price is $2500
Thay are located in Central New York

Thanks for looking,
Mike

What were the differences between these and the 1.2TLs that made you decide to keep the 1.2TLs?

I'm interested in this as well.

That kind of information is best kept in a PM, not his FS thread.

Since I was a little kid, I've always wanted to own a pair of Legacy towers. Good luck with your sale!

You are totally correct.

Mea culpa to OP.

These are some beautiful speakers.

restanim

Thanks for all the reply's. They do look as good as the pictures show, maybe even better in person. If you want to come over and just listen to them, just give me a hollar.

what kind of kid dreams of speakers.....lol

I owned Legacy Signature II's back in the day and they were amazing speakers. The bass control with 3 10" woofers was just awesome...the kind that would make most high-end subwoofers jealous. The depth, focus, and control of the bass was trully amazing. I can only imagine what the Focus is capable of with 3 12" (if memory serves). These were my dream speakers for many years, but I am about to try SDA and see what it does for me....GLWTS!

Anyone interested?
Friday bump.

These are the 20/20's correct ? Or the regular version before that?
I have the 20/20's in ribbon mahaghony and I can vouch for the audio muscle of these puppies. Nice speaks no doubt,someone will be pleased. Good luck on the sale.

These are the regular version. Very sweet mid section with crisp highs and plenty of bass.

You're hardcore, mike. When I was a little kid all I wanted was Tonka trucks and Matchbox cars.

I would love them, just NY is a little to far of a drive from WI to make it a day trip

GLWTS!

Love Legacy!

Here are the specs that were posted for these on eBay:

The critically acclaimed Legacy Audio FOCUS.

The finish is Black Oak. They are in near new condition, no marks or scratches

and the grills are perfect. Because of their size and weight, local pick-up

is recommended. I still have the original cartons. They operate as if

they were new. Original price was $5200. More pictures are available

on request. As you can see by the pictures, the finish is flawless. All sufaces

look the same as the ones in the pictures.

FOCUS utilizes controlled directivity to improve image

resolution.This special driver array minimizes coloration’s due to

floor and ceiling reflections.The speaker system offers more than

400 square inches of total piston area, more than double of our

closest competitor.

The FOCUS system represents the latest advancements in

controlling acoustic radiation patterns with conventional speaker

systems.Two 7” double layered Kevlar® Hexacone drivers are

strategically separated to provide a null off-axis vertically. Floor

and ceiling are reduced by an incredible 20 decibles through the

critical midband (500 Hz-4 kHz).This reduction of early

reflections allows fragile low level ambient information found in

recordings to be heard over the listening room’s sonic signature.

Images are clearly defined and localization is consistent with

frequency.

The Kevlar Hexacone drivers used in FOCUS are among the

most expensive and elaborate ever developed.The cone material

is more than 70 times stiffer than polypropylene and paper

cones, yet weighs 30% less.An enormous motor structure and a

vented pole piece assure unsurpassed dynamics and clarity.These

special midrange drivers are mounted into rigid PVC

subenclosures, which are filled with polyester fiberfill to absorb

the backware energy.

The end result is a speaker system with literally the finest

midrange qualities in the world, next to our Whisper that is!

When one of our competitors performed a distortion analysis on

this speaker, measurements were so close to the baseline that

they thought their equipment was malfunctioning!

The treble region is handled precisely by a specially treated

1.25”woven dome tweeter with a 48 ounce magnet structure.

This dome hands off to a 4” ribbon supertweeter outfitted with a

custom designed waveguide faceplate for controlled dispersion.

This ribbon provides an ultra-linear horizontal radiation pattern

for a broad listener sweet spot and effortless shimmering highs.

Gone is the irritating “tingy” treble associated with so many

underdamped metal domes.

The bass frequency range is controlled by three long throw

12” subwoofers with carbon impregnated cones.A vented 6th

order alignment provides the deepest extension with far less

distortion than a conventional sealed box or ported systems.

FOCUS is endowed with low frequency dynamic capabilities

among the greatest ever found in and audiophile speaker.The

system’s linear bass output betters models such as the B&W 801

and KEF 105/3 by 9 decibals and more!

The crossover network has been optimized using the most

sophisticated software available.The highest quality film

capacitors, air core inductors, and ferrite bobbins are hand-tuned

and point point wired with fine solders.The

low frequency crossover is isolated from the

satellite section to prevent magnetic

interactions.

Outfitted with two pair of gold-plated

binding posts, the FOCUS system is biwirable

and biamp capable.All internal wiring is our

own Legacy Oxygen free copper speaker

cable.
