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

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?

That is the character of your system. In my system, I am satisfied with YT SQ.

Oh yes, many people are happy with Youtube sound quality, just as many are happy with Spotify, which like YT is lossy. My system is fairly resolving, so for me it’s often easy to hear the difference between lossy sources such as YT and mp3s, and files that are CD quality or better.

YT sounds good enough to understand musicality.

YT is lossy audio and whenever I’ve used it as a source in my main system it sounds like it. I think it’s useless as a comparative tool because there are just so many variables involved. I understand that Youtube is a tool for "influencers," but they’ll have to accept that not everyone is so easily "influenced."

Nothing.
