Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

RE: You keep asking but won't accept the answer

Yeah, I also favor large floor standers, with as much quality bass as I can get from them. I'm currently researching speakers to upgrade my aging Legacy Audio Signature II, which have three 10" woofers on them. They are rated down to 22hz, but even my smallish Outlaw LFM-1 sub outclasses them, as to deep bass impact and extension. And I have a very powerful amp connected to the Signatures.

Now, I am evaluating a set of the new Legagy Signature II, and they are clearly a much more advanced and better speaker, but may not reach as deep as my old Signatures. Seeing that the Legacy Focus SE can be had for around $3K more than the Signatures, I am going to check out the Focus.

The Legacy Focus SE is a different animal, with its two 12" woofers. I recently heard a two-channel system with Focus SE, and the bass was wonderfully prodigious, deep, and tight. My suspicion is that if you really want effective bass response down to 27hz, you are going to have to go to something along the lines of the Focus SE, or other speaker with 12" woofers.
