Legacy Audio Focus SE Floorstanding Speakers (Exotic Finishes)

Description

While the Classic was the speaker that first put Legacy on
the map, it was the FOCUS that shook up high end audio with world class
performance in a full range speaker just over $10,000. For Legacy Audio’s 25th
anniversary, Chief Designer, Bill Dudleston pulled out all the stops for the
new Silver Edition version, FOCUS SE.

“I started by re-sculpting the cabinet, making it a bit
narrower, yet deeper. I stiffened and angled the sidewalls, front baffle, and
cabinet top to avoid parallel surfaces and potential standing waves. Facets were
machined into the cabinet corners to progressively narrow the baffle with
rising frequency. Even the grille of the FOCUS SE has been sculpted to prevent
diffraction.

While the driver tolerances on the FOCUS are a stringent +/-
1dB of the target function,, the FOCUS SE drivers are then performance matched
to +/-0.25 dB. The measurement data is then recorded in our database and
archived by serial number.

I chose to use Solen metallized polypropylene capacitors
imported from France as bypasses in the high frequency network and braided
silver cable to the upper ribbon. 

The FOCUS SE makes a statement of quality and performance
that I feel is unmatched by any other company at twice the price.”

Since some smaller rooms can load up in the 60 to 80 Hz
region when driven by full range speakers, a sculpting network can be activated
to tame such conditions. It is completely out of circuit until engaged, yet
eliminates overhang or ‘droning’ when needed.

Black chromed cone feet, turned from solid brass, properly
anchor the speaker to the floor boundary. A knurled adjustable leveling washer
is incorporated. An elastomeric isolation pad is installed between the cabinet
and cone to prevent re-radiation of mechanically induced vibration reaching the
listener.

The 14 step Black Pearl finish is cured for three weeks
prior to hours of hand polishing and buffing. The completed system is protected
by a custom made velvet bag and encased by three inch thick polyethylene foam
for transport.

Marking a quarter of a century of continuous
refinement.”
