No love for Legacy Audio

I have the Calibre XD’S and am really happy. I bought the passive version originally and was running them with a Rogue Cronus Magnum. At 90.5 db and 100 wpc they sounded really good, but Bill Dudelston told me they liked a lot of power and said they would have a lot more/better bass and presence with the XD amps. I took his advice and man was he right. I upgraded them to XD’S and have the bass powered by the 750 wpc ICE amps and the mids/highs by the Rogue. Very impressive presence, slam, air and and soundstage. I listen to a lot of jazz and they really do a great job with that genre. If you want to rock out they can with authority. Drawbacks? Sure, I have to take some metal candleholders off the walls because they rattle too much when I crank the Calibres and my wife has accused me of violating her noise ordinance a few times. I had a guy do a master set with them and it did wonders for the imaging and soundstage. They sound spacious and smooth at moderate volumes as well. Future plans are a Wavelet and if possible, Aeris or Focus XD in a few years.

I’m a Legacy fan.

Who are "The Omish"? Disciples of Michael Chicklis?

I have Focus SEs in walnut and one speaker has bubbling veneer on three sides, the speaker is under warranty, but I come to realize now I pay for shipping to fix what clearly is a manufacturing defect.  This may be normal in the industry (not smart enough to know) but unexpected and disappointing on many levels.  New speaker with bubbling veneer on three sides?  How does that leave the factory?  And now I have to pay to ship this beast.  $300, maybe more?  It makes me think the lack of love for Legacy may be based on actual customer experience.  

I chicken out every time. Last year I nearly pulled the trigger on a black ash Aeris trade in when a pair of kef blades came up 15 minutes from my house for the same price. I'll own a pair some day but I think my 3500 cu/ft room is too small for the aeris, and they are the speakers that interest me.

I have a pair Steve, where are you located?
