This is a great start and for my opinion you can't go wrong with either. Both brands are really geared to the engineering side of sound which I like. I personally prefer Legacy but that is slanted to their upper end lines. Once you hear the Aeris level or above it is hard to look at anything else. If you haven't yet I would highly recommend listening to the Aeris, Focus, and Exotica 3 even if it is just for fun. As other people have said the right amp will be critical for both.
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!
