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!

@v-fi -good insights, giving me info I need. @freediver -I think you have described what I like about my ProAcs, and want more of-the sparkle on top. I am wondering about the power requirements-ProAc says the D2D are 30 Watts minimum. And the D2R are 20 W minimum. Thoughts? One day, as I was moving things around, I put the speakers back with the tweeters on the outside. In my smaller listening room, I agree. |
@freediver -I’m not a loud listener on this rig, so what you say makes sense. That’s reserved for the bigger one in the livingroom, which BTW, has ProAc D30R floorstanders. I used a soundmeter and typically listen at 60-65 db. I "cranked-it up" and in this room 75db is plenty loud. WRT tubes and cables-I started with the stock tubes, Tung-Sol EL34 and TungSol 12AU7, which are really good. After the requisite amp burn-in period I moved on to NOS Brimar 12AU7, mid 1970s, blackbase EL34/6CA7 Siemens. I’m using Quicksilver silver RCA interconnects, which IMO are a STEAL. I appreciate your input! David |
