Looking for input on Legacy Audio speakers purchase.
If you have the budget, go with the Aeris with Wavelet. Aeris is an open baffle design vs Focus closed box. A very different beast. I would go with the Aeris any day. I have the Signature SE now as the Aeris is just too big for my room (not the so... 
Lyngdorf TDAI-3400
Hi, all. I am considering using the 3400 as an all-in-one box for my music/movie system. For movies, I’ll be feeding it with AppleTV contents via hdmi, so it can drive my Legacy speakers and play video on a Samsung TV. My question is, does the 340... 
Servers: Are we there yet?

Integrated for Harbeth Small Room System
If you read Harbeth designer Alan Shaw's opinion in their user forum, you will find that he's not a big fan of expensive amps. One of the best sound experience I had was at a Legacy demo. Those Whispers sounded absolutely amazing, driven by a very...

I forgot to mention that although the Usher lists at close to 3K, you can find them at discount, probably closer to 2k new. At that price, it's a killer value for the sound you get. And you certainly get more sound from the Usher than from the lit... 
harbeth p3esr or usher be 718
Late last year, I was searching for new speakers after living with a pair of Diapason Adamantes for a number of years. I had the Harbeth Compact 7ES3 in home audition for more than a week, then the Usher 718. I ended up returning the C7 and kept t...
