   I just completed setup of my Legacy Impact Subwoofer and am really 
thrilled 
with what it adds to Laser Disks for Home Theater!!! While the Focus 
loudspeakers are extraordinary for music and require no sub, I wanted bigger 
than life...inaccurate...deep base for movie viewing so that I could feel the 
bass effects with the total volume much lower than at theater levels. With 
the 
adjustability of the Impact I was easily able to achieve that, yet keep a 
rich 
smoothness to the effect. I am really thrilled with the results. I get the 
background rumble of the submarine and/or spaceship without the dialog having 
to be at theater level.
   I trie it with CDs (music only) and found it added very very little to the 
sound of the Focus...and...had to be pulled further away from the walls to 
keeps from booming the pictures off the walls. I blew a ceramic duck off an 
overhead shelf with the Velvodyne I auditioned much to my wifes displeasure.
   The Impact is self powered and stands the same width and depth at half the 
height of the Focus and runs two ported 12s. It has the exact same style as 
the Focus so it easily blends right in.
   Like your experience showed you, they are a unique company that really 
gives a damn about their customers, and truly love their work and products.
Cheers, John
