Legacy Audio Studio HD Bookshelf Speakers vs ProAc Tablette


Hey everyone-per the title, has anyone compared the two? I mostly listen to jazz, and my audio room is about 15' x 10' with 8' ceilings.

I have the Anniversary Tablettes and like them. They have terrific resolution, really large soundstage for their size and mate well with my 12 Watt, Unison Simply Italy. Are they lacking in any category? I'm not sure. They are all they're "they" say, and I think they are "polite."

Meanwhile, my research says the Legacys are "lively, dynamic, and detailed sound, particularly in the upper midrange and treble." That sounds intriguing and kinda "sexy."

And, you know how/what this hobby (addiction?) is like. Periodically, you get wanderlust. And you can get in trouble with your significant other, engaging in "That" kind of wanderlust. But in audio, it's scratches an itch; no harm done. BTW-have I mixed enough metaphors, and put in the requisite enough quote marks?

Anyway--any insights, experiences, comparisons are appreciated!

I have heard both models but in totally different systems, different rooms, different times. It's tough to draw solid conclusions from that type of listening, but I think you are generally right with your research about polite versus lively. 

I would think the Legacy set would be superior for more modern records. If you play a lot of rock, pop, girl with guitar, and similar music, they would be more dynamic and impactful, also have more snap. But for jazz I think they would be inferior to your ProAc set. Especially when factoring in your Unison amp which is probably an ideal match for the ProAc and not really that great for the Legacy.
