I always try to chime in to Legacy threads and say the same things. I've only owned Legacy since I began my hi-fi journey over 25 years ago. Before that, I had tried a pair of low-end Yamahas, B&W and Wharfedale. I still own a pair of vintage B&W DM2000s and they still sound very good but they're distant spares, so I rarely listen to them anymore. Otherwise, I am all Legacy. Started with OG Classics in the latter 90s, moved up to OG Focus years later and now current model Focus SEs. The Focus have gotten smaller over the years but I get why some say they're still big speakers. I am fortunate to have a large-ish listening room so they can really breathe. I also have Legacy's Silverscreen HD center channel and my Classics now serve as surrounds. No surround rot or anything after 26 years! And so far, I have two Studio HDs for Atmos. The Studio HDs are really difficult to find out in the wild. I am looking for another pair to complete my setup. But not budgeting $2400/pair for Atmos speakers, no way. Legacy are all-around good speakers. Great for 2-channel and just as great, if not even greater for 5.1 music and full HT speakers. I've always been about 70/30 HT to music but it can go as low as 50/50 depending on where I'm at in tweaks or whatever motivates me.
One thing to note is their resale value is poor in the beginning. I think it takes a good 10-15 years to finally hit bottom and then start climbing back up. But I couldn't care less about resale. I suspect I am in the minority there as I don't flip speakers very often.
