Salk Towers versus Legacy Classic


Are there any Salk owners who have previously owned Legacy Audio speakers, particularly the Classics? I have been upgrading my system and now trying to find the right speakers. I currently have a LSA Standard integrated (Moon Audio version)with a Cary 306/200 CD player.

I have had the Legacy's for about 13 years and like the sound. Looking for full range. I mostly listen to jazz, gospel, R&B and Contemporary Christian music.

Thanks.

Since it looks like vocals is a major aspect of your listening experience, I can, without hesitation, recommend you to take the SongTower's for a spin. Although I personally do not feel they meet up to all the hype people dote upon the speakers, they nonetheless represent a very good value at their respective price point and moreover, should match your components and music perfectly.
KLAudio,

It's cool that you dig your SongTower's so much. Kinda like the ACI Sapphire XL monitors, the SongTower's have the ultra rare talent of sounding good when placed in darn near any listening room and on any sort of electronics. This is, in my opinion, the mark of an exceptional design. It's also the reason why so many people enjoy their SongTower's. You don't need a degree + 10 years of experience to get good sound out of them, as it feels you sometimes do with Focal, Totem, etc..

Overall, do they represent an exceptional value? You betcha! Are there other designs out in the market that give them a run for the money? Yep. Are they worth way above their asking price? Dunno about that one..

And no, not every reviewer who has tested them has kept them. Quite the contrary. I will agree though, Jim is a good egg and his craftsmanship is first rate.
