Salk Sound vs Legacy Audio

I own the Salk Veracity STs. Maybe it’s the RAAL tweeter... massive sounstage, plenty of detail, never harsh... musical. And yes, they are very responsive to the sources you feed them with. 

I’ve only heard the Legacy at shows... also great sound... but... and maybe it is the rooms they have at shows... ever so slightly bright for my taste. 

I have a pair of ssm6, s on order so I will post my opinion when I recieve them.   

I've had a pair of Veracity monitors for a number of years, paired with a Dehavilland tube pre and Edge G8 amp.  Having never used these with a SS pre I can't comment on this combination, but these have always floated my boat and not been fatiguing except on recordings that were overly bright to start with.  Salk gives great customer service too; had one tweeter go out a year or so ago, and Salk replaced the defective component and returned a 100% tweeter module within about a week, at a more than reasonable price for the repair.

I have the Salk SS6M. These are stand mounts but with the same tweeter. I compared them with other speakers which are known for some brightness -- the Focal 936. I also compared them with Fritz's Carreras, which has the same tweeter. My experience was that the Focals were too bright, and the Salk and Fritz were both fine -- warm enough. A couple of changes adjusted the highs in the Salks: some changes to positioning and also a change of tubes in my tube amp (to GL KT 77's). 

Ultimately, I chose the Salks because there was a happy marriage of accuracy without roll-off in that tweeter. Initially, I asked Jim if other customers reported a brightness to them; he said no, but sent me some resistors in case I wanted to adjust them down the road. I don't feel the need at this point. I would rather tweak the room with a little absorption then choose a speaker incapable of accuracy. 

I've owned Legacy speakers for over 20 years.  One thing they are not is bright.  I bought my first pair in 1999 - original Legacy Classics.  And bought many other models over the years including last year when I added a Silverscreen HD center and Legacy Focus SEs.  And they're fantastic. 
I've never heard Salk but they get great reviews (I did consider their line before I bought my Focus SEs).  He uses very good drivers.  The only reluctance I had was with them filling my large-ish room.
