The Paradigm is a quality speaker for its price range. To do better the Focus would definitely be in another league. It is clear , dynamic and plays deep. Its efficiency makes it compatible with many amps with various power levels. I owned the Whisper and my friend owned the Focus. The Whisper at twice the price was indeed IMHO better. The 6k price tag is steep and you can do better for less. My friend and I both now own the VMPS RM 40 which can outdo both the Whisper and Focus in balance of sound and overall imagery and depth. it retails for 4600 and can be gotten at discount new for less. The Paradigm as nice sounding as it is cannot begin to go where all of these go. I would not spend the 6k on Focus. Go to audioreview.com for more opinions .

I'm curious, how do you know you like the Legacy Focus if you've never heard it?

I have listened thoroughly to the Focus and quite honestly
found it to be an incredibly bad speaker ( especialy for the money). There are some real champs out there such as the
Dunlavys,Martin Logans, Quads ...It just makes me wonder
why anyone in their right mind would buy a Legacy product.
