Thoughts on Legacy Whisper Speakers

Thanks for the advice Ljgj. I tried to find some info on the elusive RM 40 to no avail. It's not even on their web site yet. I must admit that I tend not to buy stuff that is "this years award winner". The really good stuff rises to the top over time and to often I find chasing the latest rage leads to all sorts of noxious vexation. Of course you lose out on some really good stuff too! I'll try to check it out. What does everyone thing of JM Lab Mezzo Utopia for $7500.

Sincerely, I remain

I think they are very big.

Great speakers. Don't be fooled by others trashing them. What they need to sound best is a big room. If your room is medium to small, the Whispers won't be a good fit. Their weakness(relatively minor) is in the bass region. Highs,midrange,dynamics,soundstaging are top-notch. If you can get a good price and have a good sized room, you will be extremely happy with these speakers. BTW, they sound superb with tube amps that can supply some current.

Hi Clueless, I'm likewise (clueless) on the Whispers but DO know s/thing about Mezzo Utopias.
Price: IF the electrical part is top-notch and the cabinetry in v. good condition (I would call it 8/10, a seller "9/10"), then $7500 looks reasonable enough. I would like them to be a recent pair, too.
If you're interested in more info, don't hesitate to ask... Cheers

Legacy themselves say that the Whispers are much more placement insensitive than most speakers. If that's true, why do so many of you say that a big room is needed?? I'm concerned about this, since I'm also thinking about the Whispers but have only a medium sized room (13 by 20 with lots of stuff in it).
