If you got listening fatigue I would question the source and the amplifier. I switched out an overly bright amplifier and I've been in heaven for years.

Do so! I got them! LOVE THEM!

@@anthonymartino9917 I’ve heard them a couple of times at different audio shows and they were absolutely amazing in person. Unfortunately price is a major factor especially for the finish I want. Lucky you. I’m jealous. Enjoy!

No actually they are more than several versions down. I have these exact speaker. Not a speaker under 20k that can even come close to them.

are yours like this? kzfaq.info/get/bejne/a8VimbyWxJjGYnk.html I came across on Craigslist over a year ago, previous owner replaced with new Focus SE. I bought it for $3k or 3.5k I forgot

Mark Buchiko - I believe that I am somewhat familiar with your Yamaha N1000 speakers. Back in 1975 I auditioned those speakers against the Dahlquist DQ-10s, and I bought the Dahlquist speakers! I had a tough time finding anything better, and I went to a lot of audio trade shows. I finally heard the Legacy Focus in one show,and bought those to replace my loved Dahlquist DQ-10s, which I sold on the used market. I bought my Focus speakers in 1996, and they have been OUTSTANDING, in every way. I had a house with what I called a sound room (25'x25') and could pay them loud after I installed a solid door and put more insulation in the wall that went up to the kitchen, and above that,to the Master Bedroom. But my wife knew I was into music because when we got married I had an integrated amp (Scott 260B), JBL Athena speakers (14" woofer), a turntable (Dual CS-621), and a tuner, all in a one bedroom apartment! Once I switched out my DQ-10s, I converted my sound room into a Home Theater room. I bought a 100" screen, and a Zenith 3-gun projector. I added on to my speakers to initially make a 5.1 system with a HSU sub, and PSB Goldi rear (floor standing) speakers. I had to also add a center channel speaker, and I bought the one from Legacy, which matches the same speakers that are in the mains. This is called the Silver Screen speaker from Legacy. Their newest version of this has rather different speakers in it, which may more closely match the speakers that are now in the Focus SE. It appears that the Focus speakers you have are similar to mine - the original focus which has three 12" woofers (one passive one in the back, which is not there on the new SE model). The efficiency rating of ours is 98dB, and ours goes down to 16Hz. Ours weighs 175 lbs. The new version has an efficiency rating of only 95.4dB.goes down to 18Hz, and weighs only 136lbs. But I bet they sound amazing as well! I bi-amped mine, and have a 220 w/ch amp for the low end, and 270 w/ch for the other input connectors. The volume varies greatly based on the volume the source puts out. I have a CD player, a higher end DVD player, DirecTV, and streaming stick source, as well as analog - a turntable, a reel-reel deck, and a tuner. So, I cannot report when the volume knob sits,but mine is calibrated in dB, where 0dB is supposedly the max, which I have never real used. When I played something really loud (which my wife hates!), it is usually somewhere around -20 to -18dB. Vincent (04-30-2021)

@@Zeck88522 To answer your question Zeck, the Focus SE is a new version of the original Focus. The have less of a lower end, but weigh 41 lbs. less! I own the original model, like Mark describes above. I wonder why the previous owner sold them? Do you like yours? And what are you driving them with (preamp and power amp wise)? What kind of music do you listen to? Do you have then in a home theater type setup or just stereo? Vincent (04-30-2021)

Wish there was a response to your question

If you are referring to any Wilson Audio speaker, even the Sabrina's then no. Legacy speakers have terrible time alignment.

James Caldwell time alignment is not designed into Legacy speakers as it’s really meant to work with their Wavelet crossover alignment/room correction processor. Bill states this in many is the speaker design interviews

@@Megamare1 That is interesting, at least I now know why they sound like there's two speakers in one running slightly out of phase. Every time I've heard a pair, they absolutely sound terrible.

James Caldwell you have to come and listen to mine then, I have the wavelet processor and the time alignment is perfect, I’m in NYC when the corona virus is over you are welcome to come

First, I have to comment on the question at hand - how does the Legacy Focus compare to the Wilson Audio Specialties Alexia Series 2 loudspeaker? While I have never heard these two side by side or in the same room, I can say that you are comparing a $58K speaker pair to a $10K pair. I have owned the original Legacy Focus speakers, which have different mid drivers (these are Kevlar), with a 12" passive radiator in the back, and about 40lbs heavier for each speaker. But whichever Focus version I have heard (in many, many hi-fi/audio shows), they all sounded terrific. I bring my own CDs and play MY music in the show rooms that allow you to do so, and from this I can tell a lot about the speaker and their setup, and thus compare how they sound with 'my' music. In general, I believe that speakers even double in price do not compare, and you have to go 3-4 times more to get the bass, the clarity, the dynamic capability, and the congruity of the internal speakers. In most audio show rooms at Hi-fi shows, they use very high end, very expensive electronics (pre-amps, amp, DACs, turntables, CD platforms, etc.). These speakers do not need this high end equipment. In addition, Legacy has their own electronics (very expensive power amp), and now this includes the Wavelet. This device is definitely not needed with the Focus speakers, and the Focus speakers existed long before the Wavelet, so they were NOT designed to be used with them. I have never heard any version of the Focus speakers with a Wavelet in any audio room. But I have heard it in the Los Angeles Legacy audio room with the Whisper speakers. I went for a private listening session about 6-7 years ago. Again I brought my own CDs! The imaging was outstanding! So, if the Wavelet is used with the Focus SE, it might bring the imaging and timing to the same point as I heard with the Legacy Whisper speakers. I addition, I went from a pair of Dahlquist DQ-10s, which excelled in imaging and especially in timing (physically phased array of speaker alignment), to the Legacy Focus speakers, the only speaker I felt that was much better than the DQ-10s. I owned those for 20 years, and now I have had the Focus for 25 years. So, I did not really lose the imaging and timing, as a couple of you here put it. I can only guess that James perhaps only carefully listened to the Focus just once, and perhaps they were out of phase (although that's not likely since they should be taking a lot of care when setting up in a show room). Everyone I have bought into my home to hear music (or even a movie since my room is a home theater now and has been shorting after I bought the Legacy Focus speakers), has been amazed, astounded. They excel in almost everything: clarity, full sound, bass, dynamics, and volume when needed or desired. The current Focus SE have an efficiency rating of 95 dB, and mine (the original Focus) are 98 dB. I drive mine in a bi-amped mode with an amp of 220 RMS w/ch with 1,000 damping factor for the bass, and 270 RMS w/ch to the mids/highs (there are only 2 sets of inputs on the back of each speaker). Both of these amps have a max distortion of .03% (or less) over the entire frequency range at the fully rated power, so they product the clean sound the speakers deserve and deliver!

They have smaller speakers - check out the Signature SE or the Caliper.
