Legacy Audio Focus SE compared to the Legacy Aeris Speakers
I agree Audiotroy. I think the Aeris is better than any of the uber-expensive Wilsons I have heard. And I really like the Wilsons. 
Legacy Audio Focus SE compared to the Legacy Aeris Speakers
I have heard both the Focus and the Aeris as well as the Tekton Double Impact.The Focus compares to the Tekton DI, IMO. The Aeris is on another level. It is a special speaker. The Tekton Ulfberht is also supposed to be a special speaker for less m... 
Tekton DIs or Legacy Focus SEs?
That is also what I understood David. I may be wrong. 
Tekton DIs or Legacy Focus SEs?
Nitrobob, can't answer all your questions but Eric recommends the 4 ohm version. I would call and discuss it with him if you have concerns about that. 
Tekton DIs or Legacy Focus SEs?
Thanks. I appreciate it.I would have to place one of them next to a wall and I am concerned with the the side firing driver, but I still plan on hearing them. 
Tekton DIs or Legacy Focus SEs?
Ron:I have not heard the Golden Ear reference yet but I want to. I really like the footprint. My use will be home theater and I just don't like their center speaker offerings. I like the ones in the Paradigm Persona line and the Legacy line.Can yo... 
Tekton DIs or Legacy Focus SEs?
David -- it really is a great speaker. I was not able to hear it directly against the Wilsons, but I did hear several of the more expensive Wilsons and I preferred the Aeris. Yes, definitely a speaker you should hear even if you have no intentions... 
Tekton DIs or Legacy Focus SEs?
jayctoy -I agree. I was fortunate enough to hear both the DI and the Focus at the same place with the same equipment. Pulled out the Focus and put in the DI and used the same source material, cabling, amps, etc. For me, it was a fair comparison. T... 
Tekton DIs or Legacy Focus SEs?
David --The reason I have always purchased ribbon and planer speakers is for the very open, detailed and airy highs and mids. I was predisposed to the Legacy speakers because of that. I ended up being surprised. I honestly could not hear that "nor... 
Tekton DIs or Legacy Focus SEs?
audiotroy -I am not sure how to explain how anything is softer than another. I just listen to it and make a determination of how it sounds to me. Probably the same as anyone else I imagine. What it is supposed to sound like, I don’t know. All I kn... 
Tekton DIs or Legacy Focus SEs?
hifial:I agree with your assessment. If either of the two speakers tends a little (and I mean a very little) towards warm, it would be the Focus. I thought the Tekton to be more neutral also. 
Tekton DIs or Legacy Focus SEs?
I made it a point to audition both as they were two highly rated speakers that performed above their price points. I made it a point to listen to the music as well as movie dialogue and I picked a movie that had dialogue that gave my present speak... 
$3000 Speaker Search
The Double Impact are by far the best I have heard at that price point. You need to get them in the gloss finish to look nice and get the grills so the unconventional driver array is covered for your wife. 
Paradigm Personas anyone heard them
I have heard both the Signature and the 3f but I didn't feel it was really a fair comparison... but that's just meMy use is home theater primarily.The most accurate (and best price performance) I have heard were the Tekton speakers but at this poi... 
Paradigm Personas anyone heard them
I heard the Aeris after I heard the Persona speakers. I really think a lot of the Persona, but I liked the Aeris better. They just sounded better to me. Nothing like them. Not sure if it is the hybrid open baffle design or the wavelet processor, o...
