I have the Salks you are speaking of but never heard Legacy speakers. They are very revealing speakers so it's the amp, preamp and source that give you the signature. I know that's commonly said but I've owned I don't know how many speakers in my life and have never had anything like these. In fact, I thought they were too good and/or revealing when I got them. Every little thing you put in your system changes the sound, but that's what a lot of people want. I would argue you can use the most revealing speaker and amp and use a good preamp and source to tailor your sound. I'm about 6 or 7 hours away from you in the Jacksonville area. If you're ever this way, you're welcome to hear them.
Salk Sound vs Legacy Audio
Impossible to answer, but always popular: tell me your experiences of these speakers. In particular, I'm looking at the Legacy Audio Classic HD and the Salk Sound Song3 Encore, with drivers from the SS9.5 speakers. Even if you don't have experience with these specific speakers, are these manufacturers known for a "signature" sound?
I lean towards warm presentation vs. clinical accuracy. My main complaint in this hobby is listening fatigue so I'm really wanting a speaker that can move me even at low volumes. I also want a bigger soundstage and just a fuller more complete image.
I'm in Atlanta so there is nowhere close by to hear either of these speakers. I'm just looking for lots of information to help guide my decision. Thanks, y'all!
