Carl, if you have any great need to be underwhelmed, then go listen to Legacy speakers. Any of the lot. In my area, they have "group" auditions every year. I usually go to keep up with their products, meet other area audiophiles(and because they have free food/drink). Actually, my first Legacy audition was THE most eye opening experience for me ever in audio. I had collected their catalogs, studied every spec, dreamed about them. They HAD to be the best, it was physics. I saved up enough money(I was maybe 19 or 20), and started to look. A local dealer had a used pair of their onetime flagship model(now called the Signature or Classic???). I brought my best music. And... Nothing. No emotion came to me at all. I had waited 3 years for this. I walked away, and didn't buy. It taught me to never judge a book(or a piece of audio equipment) by its cover(or advertisement - this also goes out to you, Bob Carver). Then about 4 years ago, the "auditions" started to come around. Just like the circus, travelling from city to city. I listened to almost every model. Again, nothing like they advertise. Not bad, just...nothing(to me, at least). I stopped off at a dealer on the way home, and listened to the Coincident speakers which so enthralled me the week before. And I walked out with them. The rest is history, and I still absolutely LOVE them.
