First off you can't ever say that one speaker blows the other out of the water. Many for YOUR ears, but not for other folks. I have tried and tried to like the Legacy's and for ME they are way too hot. I do like their newest tweeter much better than their older one, but for many of us they aren't what we like. I"m glad you love yours as that's what it's all about.
The nice thing is that you can find more than a few speakers you will like. I love Vandersteens (just sold my Treo's this past week) and purchased the Quatro's. For ME, they blew away anything I heard under 30k and I heard most of the contenders that are real companies with distribution (again, just my humble opinion). I also love Proac's. The newest ribbon Stuart is using is smooth to my ears and just an outstanding value too.
Some folks seem to like speakers that are tipped up on top or brighter. I've seen names of those types mentioned in this thread also.
Lot's of choices and if there is any way you can possibly audition to at least get to know what type of sound you like, it will help you in figuring it all out. Maybe you can call Johnny Rutan to see if he has the Quatro's for sale still. He's also a Proac dealer as well as B&W's (not sure which lines) and he's an outstanding Maggie dealer too. Not sure where you live, but if you can speak with a good dealer who is open minded about all their product lines, they can help you greatly. Just make sure and purchase through them so it's not wasting their time. JMHO again. Keep us posted.
