The Focus 20/20's easily handle everything from pipe organ and full symphony all the way through jazz, trance, techno, rock (Queensryche, Rush, Joe Satriani's great guitar work, many others) Japanese, Chinese and Korean drumming (Ondekoza, Kim Hok Man, etc...) with an amazing personality that holds up and makes each type of music sound like the Legacy's were designed to play just that.
I drive them with an Edge NL 12.1 and truthfully, I've never found a point where they distort no matter the volume. That stated I've never found their volume limit either. They have this great trait wherein they resolve
very well at lower volumes and just sound even more full and encompassing at higher volumes. They work well at 6, 7, 8 and 10 ft centers with the right toe-in and listening position. The transient behavior has the right edge, decay, etc......
Human voices, tenor & alto sax + other woodwinds, trumpets, french horn, timpani, bass drums, etc....all sound like they belong on this speaker and are amazingly natural.
The soundstage (with the right gear and material) extends 6-8 ft to the left and right of the L/R speakers respectively while still have X, Y, Z axis imaging
precision.
They like a substantial speaker cable, preference is for biwire at the very least. Copper speaker cables seem to
work their best on this when the copper is of very good quality.
Email me any time (UID Zephy24069); I have just placed an
order for a set of Focus 2007 HD's to compliment the 20/20's in my home theater.
Enjoy!
