Hey, there is a Legacy Audio - Focus [the old model] for sale.
Really cheap - 125 K - Dadar - P****e Colony.

The one you heard @ Lakozy was the 3rd model - Focus HR !!!
You liked it ? Interesting......
Were you there @ the launch party ???



The Theil 7.2 is a good speaker too. I liked it. Heard them with Krell Amplification in Prague - many years back.
I really want to hear the cs5i from Thiel. Seen them, but never heard them...

Re: What are the best speakers you have heard?

Hi,
I would be certainly interested in taking a look at the preowned Legacy. can you give me the details. Pls PM me. Is it the Focus 20/20?

I was there at LaKozy for the launch. I had heard it a few days earlier at leisure. Your mail seemed to indicate that you did not really fancy it much? Any particular reason? I actually thought it was pretty good. A bit big, though..thats what got me having second thoughts....my proposed music room will be about 16x16 and it might be a bit large for that...thinking of putting them up in may hall thats a lot bigger (as part of the HT set up) .....for that I could go the preowned route if it is in good shape.

Any thoughts/inputs would be appreciated.

Correct me if I am wrong; but a new Focus HR costs 400/- K ++
This pair is going for 125/- K
It is 8 + years old.
It is an old model.
There was the Focus, then Focus 20/20 & now this Focus HR.

The speaker for sale is the original Focus. There are also Legacy Audio power amplifiers for sale.

Call, the number I gave to you & see.

If you like, buy, else have a cup of coffee & say good bye !!

Regards,

Re: What are the best speakers you have heard?

I've enjoyed listening to quite a few
Tannoy Westminster Royal, Tannoy system 215, Avant garde duo,B&W 802, Harbeth studio monitors, Jamo Concert are the ones that I recollect instantly,

If I have to pick a favorite, I’d system 215.
