Logical next step from Legacy Signature SEs? Around $15K...


I posted the same topic by mistake in the HT forum, re posting here. I actually only use stereo.

Honestly, I think Legacy in general has the best bang for your buck for speakers. And these are incredible in my room...but like always, well, what's next? And I would also like the footprint to be a bit smaller.

Mostly I am afraid of losing the end to end coherence, as these speakers go from very deep to very high without really standing out. But I am also partial to silk dome tweeters, a bit warmer sound and good aesthetics. 

What would be some of the options, where I guess, I will lose out on the bottom end, but gain midrange and high end?

Room size about 16 ft by 17 ft. Metrum Onyx dac to Luxman L509X integrated. I also use a Lyric Audio Ti 140 MK2 when in the mood for tubes. Musically everything from jazz (Blue Note, Impluse, Riverside) from the 50s/60s, to classic rock, indie rock, electronic, eclectic world music....I like and listen to every thing. So that's the main thing, the speaker can't be genre constrained. I love that about Legacy. I like Devore Fidelity a lot for example, very spritely speakers, but typically their speakers lack the body. Haven't heard the wide baffled speakers though.

Ok, for a little more you need to look into the Wolf Von Langa Son speakers. Two way with field coil driven woofers. Goes down to 20-25 hertz and has that voice of one thing in spades. Special speaker. Contact Colin @gestalt as he is the importer and dealer. Great sized room for this speaker. I have a set that replaced my highly upgraded Fyne 704s. I needed a smaller speaker than my Fynes for my new room. Great speaker for our sized rooms. Highly efficient, modest size, killer base, spooky realism and imaging, and an AMT tweeter is so sweet sounding. All the best sound qualities of the best two way monitor with NO compromise in base response.
