Salk Sound vs Legacy Audio

Impossible to answer, but always popular: tell me your experiences of these speakers. In particular, I'm looking at the Legacy Audio Classic HD and the Salk Sound Song3 Encore, with drivers from the SS9.5 speakers. Even if you don't have experience with these specific speakers, are these manufacturers known for a "signature" sound? 

I lean towards warm presentation vs. clinical accuracy. My main complaint in this hobby is listening fatigue so I'm really wanting a speaker that can move me even at low volumes. I also want a bigger soundstage and just a fuller more complete image. 

I'm in Atlanta so there is nowhere close by to hear either of these speakers. I'm just looking for lots of information to help guide my decision. Thanks, y'all!

Thanks man! I'd love to take you up on the offer if I could. 

At this point, I'm making a significant jump in quality with these speakers, whichever I purchase. My system is comprised of a Quad 909 power amp, a Vac 20.1 Linestage run in passive mode, and a Project DS2 phono amp. Sources are Rega P3 and Cary 308 CDP.

Thanks for great feedback so far! The amp (Quad 909) and preamp (Vac 20.1) I'll be using will be outmatched to some degree, but both perform beyond their price point IMHO. I hope my Rega and Cary sources are up for the task. My gut is leaning towards the Salk, but it will be a few months before I pull the trigger. Hopefully, I'll find a pair to listen to!!
