Familiar with the Audio Legend

Grandpad, my experience is just like yours and Joekras. I too liked the Legend "sound". Don't know which component was contributing what to the sound, but as a whole, it was very good. The little pyramid shaped monitors use a Focal mid-woofer and what we think is a Focal tweeter. Focal is the raw driver division of JMLabs out of France. Sean

The Legend guy always does a good demo at these shows. The room is darkened, the speakers are way out from the back wall, and he plays sparse, "pretty" music, most of which makes me want to puke. But I wonder what it would be like to actually live with the stuff at home.

It's kind of an old thread but I'll respond anyway. I bought the Legend speakers. They sound fantastic on everything I throw at them. The shocker is the bass respone! People that listen to my system keep looking for the sub that isn't there - it takes a lot of convincing for them to believe. With a strong amp (I have an Aragon 8008ST) they're tight as can be. They're always demoed with tube gear so they may not be amp sensitive but I like the way they mate with a powerhouse.
Imaging is very similar to the Spica TC-50 (which, in my book, is a serious compliment) and the range is vast. The Legends can handle very high SPL levels. Classical is solid and detailed. Rock is filled with punch and slam. Jazz is 'there.' I honestly believe you have to move up to the Avalon Eidolon to surpass them.
The $4K was too much for me, too, but I bought in a moment of weakness. They're worth every penny if you've got the pennies.

They had one of the better sounds at CES too! There is something about their entire system, but the speakers do hold their own. You can pick your favorite color to boot!
