It's kind of an old thread but I'll respond anyway. I bought the Legend speakers. They sound fantastic on everything I throw at them. The shocker is the bass respone! People that listen to my system keep looking for the sub that isn't there - it takes a lot of convincing for them to believe. With a strong amp (I have an Aragon 8008ST) they're tight as can be. They're always demoed with tube gear so they may not be amp sensitive but I like the way they mate with a powerhouse.
Imaging is very similar to the Spica TC-50 (which, in my book, is a serious compliment) and the range is vast. The Legends can handle very high SPL levels. Classical is solid and detailed. Rock is filled with punch and slam. Jazz is 'there.' I honestly believe you have to move up to the Avalon Eidolon to surpass them.
The $4K was too much for me, too, but I bought in a moment of weakness. They're worth every penny if you've got the pennies.
